    France is worried “people” will look at their exploits in Africa more deeply if they don’t.

    “To accuse the Jewish state of genocide is to cross a moral threshold.” - France foreign minister, according to the article’s first line.

    What moral threshold, mr. foreign minister? Moral threshold that separates the western “right and responsibility” to invade, occupy, do mass massacres, out the people through genocide by both killing them by the thousands and destroying or stealing their cultural heritage, funneling all if their natural resources at dirt cheap prices to add to your own wealth? Hmm, maybe it isn’t slavery when you just "outsource"it?

    What moral threshold? Something like “Israel government can’t be fascists because they are the ruling organization over a people that were put through Holocaust by our then-enemies-but-current-allies, so only we can form any narrative about them?”

    Western democracies’ hypocrisy on full display as usual. Defenders of the human rights, only when it is their people and when they comply with their hegemonic agenda.

    So if my mother died from alcoholism, it would cross a moral threshold, if I got fired for drinking on my job as a school bus driver?
