Rape, torture, endless encarceration with no due proces, are absolutely routine in Israel.
Israel has been abducting Palestinian hostages to use as pawns later for decades on a mass scale. It’s utterly grotesque that the rule of law and democracy has been a thing that “liberals” hold out as being uniquely Israeli in the Middle East when they have no human rights for Palestinians, black sites, mass hostage taking, and all the horrific abuses that we associate with autocracies in the Middle East.
Liberalism in the US to me has been defined by the idea that Jeffrey Prison Guard the editor of the Atlantic is a leading liberal voice and expert on Israel.
Would you consider a Hamas kidnapper to be such? That’s who he is. Just whiter. And richer obvs.

Argentina: Javier Millei is engaging in pro-Western virtue signalling (as with his support for Ukraine) because the previous government was friendly to China.
The others: probably because they are afraid of US aid being cut if they vote the wrong way.
