Diego Garcia was ethnically cleansed in it's entirety only about 50 years ago, by US/UK and they've upheld their position regarding the crime at UN as recently as 2019 where a resolution calling for decolonization was voted down by the usual offenders in a vote of 116-"for" versus 6-"against" decolonization. (One of the six was Israel .. no surprise there)In simpler terms, Israel is doing what Western and many other countries have already done in the past centuries. The only difference is that nowadays ethnic cleansing is "frowned upon" by the "civilised" world
Unlike Palestine and other conflict areas, Diego Garcia (Mauritius) has very little exposure and influence in the globe, thus hardly anybody even knows about it. Very easy for MSM to censor and very difficult for any outsider to be exposed to it.
It's not so much that they (governments) frown about it; rather that the average citizen now has access to and awareness of such events which they previously did not.
Independent and social media has exposed the propaganda and lies of mainstream media. In previous conflicts, MSM was the only provider. You can see that even now MSM is still harping that same old scripted propaganda, but it's not making as much effect.
Western governments, in general, do not care about crimes against humanity unless it's being done by somebody other than them. "Above the law" behavior, typical of feudal monarchs.
Only real difference now is that the rest of the world, which once looked up to the West, are beginning to realize emmasse that the West is rotten to it's core. In the past, only academics knew of this for surety, but now it's out in the open even for the most illiterate.
