It's premature optimization. Why bother with Israel when the main English reading audience likely has much more direct influence over the biggest war profiteer - america.

Blaming Israel, is either anti-Semitism, that's it's only with criticism when people representing Jews do it, or colonialism, that it's only bad when it's not western powers doing it.

It's only a story because it's Israel, and Israel is seen as lesser than France or the USA

Employing a black/white worldview and insisting that it's only either colonialism or anti-Semitism ignores nuance and is a really bad take.
