When I was in school we were taught genocide is a crime against humanity, now the USA and other countries act like Israel has blackmail material on all their leaders. What causes so many countries to be supporting them like this?

Jews have already been the victims of the world's most prominent recent genocide. Palestinians elected a terrorist organization to be their government and one of Hamas' stated goals is the eradication of Israel. Which is what they were trying to do a year ago in October when this recent conflict started. Israel's response went hard, I can't blame them . But they keep going harder and harder and now we have two bad guys, not one.
