Thanks! I'll give that a look. It's funny though that blocking and muting seem to be Boost specific and using an account from another instance is no issue at all.

Yes, there's room for discussion, so there's no blind support for Israel. I'm not saying there is no support for Israel. Western Europe is walking the line between appeasement politics and reality. They all know that condemning Israel would create tensions with the US.
But if you look at citizens, pro-Palestine (so not necessarily pro-Hamas) protests are centered around ending human suffering, without actually taking a side in who has a claim to the land there.
The Netherlands is not participating in the Eurovision Song Festival, which might seem like inconsequential, but it's a pretty big statement. Winners of the contest are returning the awards now that Israel is not banned from participating.
Plus the ICJ is located in the Hague, which isn't recognized by the USA, but also show some moderate doubts towards what Israel is doing.
The entire situation in Israel is complicated with its roots going far beyond the temporal conscience of people. There's no clear answer other than that nothing warrants bombing hospitals and blocking humanitarian aid.
The USA never really had allies after WWII. They did a lot to stop Germany from taking over the continent, but after that the USA was basically a playground bully, an enforcer, that believes it's the boss and as long as everyone does what they want, they can be friends.
Now that they start doing things that don't align with what the ideals of the European Union or Europe in general, suddenly we start seeing that 'allies' is a very relative term.
The USA just wants to be number 1. Now that they have started destroying their own economy, suddenly the EU, Canada, China, all of them seem like threats.
Basically the USA is just a market to Europe, and they provide the media we watch in the shape of TV shows and the like. They provide the arms we need to 'keep peace' where necessary. If shit is going to hit the fan (more than it did in Ukraine, maybe also tensions in Gaza since Europe doesn't blindly support Israel), it's not a given that the USA and Europe will be on the same side, but my point is it was never really a given.
