It is impossible to support Israel without supporting the idea that only some lives matter. That some human beings - as Israel calls them, the 'subhuman animals' - are disposable. That Hitler was right, and humanity can actually be divided into 'ubermenschen', and 'untermenschen'. There was a time when anyone who supported this idea was rejected as a racist, and a danger to civilisation. Racism was reprehensible. No longer. Today, the states that support Israel openly support the most fundamental tenet of racism: that only some lives matter. That is the elephant in the room. Racism makes colonialism possible. People don't need to care about Genocide because racism's permissible again. Oppress a neighbour today. Your government says so.
