Why is it nobody gets where Israel is coming from?

In the 1930's there were lots of warnings from various people emerging from Germany about what the Nazis were doing, it was an attestation about what Hitler himself had mentioned in his 'Mein Kampf', the world ignored the Jews speaking out, so the Jews could see the world had no regard for them, so they learned an important lesson, which now figures in the political/moral policy from the State of Israel.

Israel doesn't subvert it's policy to the pressure exerted on it by world governments because where were those governments when six million Jews, including the best majority being the aged, women and children, were being murdered by Hitler's factories of death? Israel will pursue it's policy, which right now is to get their people being held hostage back and to erode Hamas' ability to attack the people of and state of Israel in terrorist warfare/murder-sprees.

You can understand Israel very easily with these factors in mind.

It’s why I [b]don’t[/b] understand some of their biases against non-European Jews.
By Uri Dorchin, Israeli anthropologist :
[quote] While Israeli society is not racially divided between Blacks and whites in the way that American society has long been, Israelis are certainly not color-blind, and having black skin can also have fatal consequences in Israel. For instance, in June 2019, Solomon Teka, an 18-year-old Israeli Jew of Ethiopian descent, was shot to death by an Israeli policeman, sparking widespread demonstrations and rioting.

The Solomon Teka incident was not an unprecedented event. In April 2015, video footage of Israeli policemen brutalizing Damas Pakada, a Jewish Ethiopian soldier, moved thousands of Israelis, Ethiopians and others, to the streets. One of the reasons this incident prompted a strong reaction was the fact that Pakada was an on-duty soldier wearing his military uniform. Military service is widely perceived as the ultimate rite of passage into Israeli society and as a stamp of approval for being a loyal Israeli citizen. Watching the footage of his assault (that was captured by a security camera), many Israelis saw Pakada not only as an individual but as an example of the successful assimilation of Ethiopians in Israel. Yet, the incident revealed that despite this assimilation, Ethiopian Israelis still suffered from police brutality and discrimination, even when they are in uniform. Thus, in their protests, Israeli Ethiopians accused the police, and the Israeli establishment more broadly, of racism against their community due to their skin color.
