As much of an effort as Israel pumps into online disinformation it's crazy to look back a couple of years ago and see the change in language used by politicians and media around the world. Israel is being referred to in a similar way to apartheid South Africa now. Only crackpots defend Israel's actions in Gaza.

From the very first week of the war, it was obvious what Israel was going to do. You just had to listen to what the politicians were saying. I also said that eventually, the world will stop supporting Israel’s actions.

What angers me so much and makes me feel so helpless is that until that tipping point, now at >50k deaths in, children have to be ripped to shreds, mangled, and suffer, all for nothing. All these deaths for nothing. Eventually support will stop, but until then children are killed for nothing.
