Well I guess governments like the US do use racism to convince their supporter base that what Israel is doing is good, essentially by equating a whole nation with potential for terrorism. and this fits the narrative in many people's head when the said nation is mostly middle eastern, has brown skin and speaks arabic.
But this is just one such tool. There is religion, nationalism, fear mongering etc etc The real reason is as always, insanities revolving around wanting more and more and more power.
Literally everything is manipulation. Nobody questions why this particular girl was allowed to speak in front of the EU. Nobody thinks about why things happen. Who are selected and who is not. What agenda is played out.
If you as a teenager wants to talk to the EU, you think you can just do that? Many questions.
When she first popped up there were MANY people who questioned who the fuck she was that she could speak to the EU leadership. Why her? Because she's been an activist from a very young age, and her parents have connections (being minor celebrities).
Yeah maybe that is the reason. It was just very strange to me.
