It's quite probable the Iraq war wouldn't have happened (or at least would have gone differently) without Netanyahu's assurances to congress that it would bring stability to the Middle East. (It also wouldn't have created ISIL).
The only reason the houthis are firing rockets at ships in the Red Sea is the Genocide in Gaza.
The Israeli occupation in Palestine was the number one motivation cited by Bin Laden for 9/11 in his "letter to the West."
This stuff does affect the rest of the world. So while I wish we lived in the kind of world where the simple, moral, "killing children so you can steal their homes is bad" argument were enough, even the self-interest argument is worth deeper consideration than it gets.
