Any country, no matter how small, stands out dramatically if not fully aligned against Putin and the horror he has unleashed.

Leaving out the reasons why Israel has the dilemma it has, it’s as simple as that, really. The enormity of the human tragedy unfolding for all to see surpasses everything else. The additional interest in Israel could also be the genocide of the Jewish people during World War 2, playing a subconscious role in what people may expect.

This is heart and ethics VS reason and analysis, not antisemitism.
