Are protesters upset after watching Israel nonstop slaughter thousands of children for the last 6 months???
No. That can't be it. They're all just secretly anti-semitic or something.

I doubt it's about that. Putin wants a friendly administration in the White House that would reduce/eliminate sanctions, stop supporting Ukraine, and look the other way when Russia grabs more land.
Gaza is one of the areas where Biden is the weakest, and Putin is surely doing everything in his power to make Gaza an issue that loses Biden votes.
Yes, but to what ultimate end? Is it not to the ultimate end of ending the Post-WWII international order and replacing it with either a multipolar heavily-regionalized series of "legal" orders? Or perhaps it is even to create a new unipolar world that is rooted in Beijing - with rules and norms that will be created accordingly
Clearly the emerging powers of the world do not like the Western system that has been imposed upon them. Destroying it is one of their goals. And one contributing method of that destruction is for Israel under the criminal Netanyahu to erode any remaining moral clarity that the West's institutions possess.
After all, if these international bodies have revealed themselves to be merely extensions of Washington's will, then surely it is right to replace them with new institutions that are rooted in "justice"? And who better to design that system of "justice" than those nations whose hands are not bloodied by 500 years of imperialism, colonialism, genocide, and trans-atlantic slavery?
