No. It applies to everyone. Some spots on the globe get more attention than others, for various reasons. For example, most spots in Africa get very little attention. Or Asia, or Arabia, or Europe, or anywhere else but little Israel, which collects about 95% of the attention. A little hand wringing about Darfur or the Congo or Algeria, or some very muted protests about Tibet. Silence about Cyprus. Needless to say the numbers of dead are thousands of times higher in those other places, but who's counting? Ok, so it theoretically applies to everyone but practically it applies only to Israel. Nobody tells China or the Arab League that "the rules have changed".
