Because plenty of people have (many of whom are experts on the region in all manners of field, from human rights, international law, historians, etc). It's all in the public sphere, you just have to be willing to look. See that's the problem with those that lack perspective. They can only see things as bad when it's shocking in the moment. But when it is continuous, long lasting, you just grow accustomed to it.
