UN: we think all humans deserve basic dignity and respect, and genocide is wrong guys…
Israel: Outrageous!
Supremacist indoctrination involves dehumanising their targets. You'll see them call their targets subhuman/animal, etc in public discourse.
So to them, there are no human rights violations. You need to view their perspective from the supremacist viewpoint to see why they fight against what's common sense to any regular person. They legitimately see themselves as righting some kind of wrong where "inferior" people are infringing upon them.
UN: we think the people from Palestine are human beings…
Israel: outrageous!
Huh, the UN Human Rights Council is biased against human rights violations? That's just nuts.
Yes human rights tend to have an anti-genocide bias.
