Outside the western world history will look back on these times extremely unfavourably. Perhaps in many ways worse than the Holocaust. The true horrors of what the Nazis did was largely hidden and discovered late into, and after, World War 2 ended. Due to the scale of the war the ability to intervene - even if it was known - would have been limited.
The western world has stood by complicit, at best silent and at worst enabling the horrors committed by the Israeli regime. This has all happened in plain sight with critics smeared as anything from terorist sympathisers to antisemites. Only the intrinsic bias (and outright racism) of the west will mean they continue to deny what is obvious in the global south.

Not sure what you say about being worse than the Holocaust is correct. Trying to equate them would be a mistake. In fact, the Allies knew about the mass killing of the Polish Jews in mid-1942 but decided to prioritise on their war efforts and so, later on in the war, did not target the death camps even though they knew about them in 1944.
You are right about the power & influence of the pro-Israel advocates in shouting down the protests when it was clear the IDF were on a revenge mission and 1000,s of women & children were being killed. The West, with a few exceptions, should be ashamed by their hand-wringing while they watched this play out. So many times, they trotted out the "Israel has a right to defend itself" card while they watched the killing & ethnic cleaning.
