> Your line of argument is an interesting one though. You're tacitly admitting that western protesters don't actually care about innocent Palestinians. They're just using Palestine as an excuse to undermine their governments.

That’s not true and definitely not the “gotcha” you’re looking for. Americans protesting on American soil, the actions of the American government supporting atrocities against lives they do care about seems perfectly reasonable. We’re not protesting against Iran in America because there’s no government action we want to stop. The administration already opposes Irans actions and has publicly stated that military intervention is being considered. There’s just a lot less for Americans to be mad at their government in this situation. That doesn’t mean people aren’t upset. They’re just not taking to the streets because there is less of a reason to ask the government to change direction they’re already going in. I’m not sure what is so hard to understand about that unless you’re intentionally being obtuse.
