Which other nation is allowed to literally colonize land than even itself doesn't consider to be part of their country? What other nation can get away with military enforcement of said colonies?
If anything, Israel is given more slack in the west than any other nation. More civilians died in Gaza than in Ukraine yet clearly, only one nation has been condemned officially by western states and that's not Israel
I don't know a single country - including Israel's closest allies - that says that occupation of West Bank is acceptable.
When is Israel, as a state, outright condemned due to its colonial projects? Like, what concrete consequences does it suffer from, due to its colonies?
Absolutely nothing, and if anything boycotting Israel is literally ground for getting fired in the USA.
Now that I think about it, no other country in the world has that privilege of being shielded from consequences like that either.
Again, Russia trying to annex Ukraine isn't just "not seen as acceptable". We saw very very clear and concrete actions from almost the entire west against that. What does Israel get when it colonizes its neighbors? Unwavering support that completely overlooks said colonies.
