It doesn't matter - western superpowers are complicit in this genocide, and that is why this genocide still continues.
From the "there is no genocide" Joe Biden to "it's not genocide if we get to build a beautiful resort there" Donald Trump, there is bi-partisan support in US politics for Netanyahu's genocide. Don't believe me? Well, tell me just one concrete thing the US and its allies have done to actually stop the genocide. (And by concrete, I mean be sure to compare it with the political steps taken to protect certain "blue-eyed blondes, white Christians", who are "like us" - https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2022/3/8/some-lives-are-m... ).
Just look at the list of countries that already recognize the State of Palestine ( https://www.dw.com/en/which-countries-recognize-palestinian-... ) and you may be surprised to find that the western powers (and a few of their allies) are the odd ones out, against the global majority that recognizes that Palestine is a settler-colony of Israel. It doesn't just stop there - the US even uses its veto power to deny Palestine a UN membership, despite the majority support they have to become one - https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-04-19/us-vetoes-palestine-f... . (And note that all this is happening despite the political opposition against Israel's genocide amongst the western populace).

The skin colour of the victims is not such a relevant part of the issue here- the issue is that Israel has spent decades infiltrating every position of power in western countries as well as building an ideological framework for its impunity: one that identifies Jews as the eternal victims, antisemitism as the root of all criticism and violence towards Israel, while disseminating the idea of Arabs as inferior savages. This is the result. Had they decided to direct their propaganda against Ukrainians instead of Arabs, we would be almost as paralysed as we are now.
