I think the focus on Israel is because of what the conflicts stem from; religion and the fact that the religion the Israelis hold is the same as many in the western world, added to that, they are similar people to ourselves in terms of appearance, so it stands that we who look in see our own people pissing of a bunch of people who are related in many ways to those who hold and control what the west dearly wants to prosper and needs to barely survive.
Now China and places over there, the people, well the majority hold different beliefs to any of the god three so they are not offending any religious ideal furthermore they are different in appearance to us, so we believe we cannot relate as these people are alien to us, but they are a force to be reckoned with, in some ways similar to the Arabs because of their economic control. Added to that, their sheer force of numbers and their military capability which is not to be scoffed at.
The once powerful west knows there are bigger kids now on the block, kids it does not want to reckon with, so seeks to make alliances so it may have something of what they have got, be it scraps from their table, but it is better than the alternative. So things like that age old likeness of religion is taking a back step in the face of bigger concerns, especially so now as religion is again losing it's grip in the face of economics
Things like human rights abuses in the countries that now hold power, well they happen that is for sure, as they have always done and always will, but aside from what our people might say, in reality they don't care in the face of the foreign powers they are trying to make friends with. Such things like what the concerned groups pick up and highlight are but a fly in the ointment, an irritation the bosses don't need when they are trying to make everything sweet with the bigger kids on the block.
But we have to beware, what abuses we seek and see elsewhere, we have to look to our own first before we try to change others, Israel I believe is in with ourselves due to the criteria mentioned in my first paragraph, if we cannot quell what is obvious for the world looking in to see, how can we dare to even suggest what others might like to think about doing.
If anything we represent a noisy complaining ideal that is dying on it's feet, there are bigger things in the world now than the once British Empire and the Imperial United States, our importance is waning and the world at large knows that full well. The new powers that exist in effect hold the west by the short and curlies and soon we will dance to their tune.
Religion, what is that, the God 3 where does the power lie, my thoughts certanly not with the Christian, so we have a problem, we must pander to the two that remain as they are both economic powerhouses but between those two who do we most desire, that is simple, those that have something to sell that has a future for now, for if we don't buy, there are bigger players who will happily take over our share, China, the new emerging superpower that only stands to get bigger.
