The vast majority of people - even a significant chunk of the Arab population, in general - don't blame jews for bad things or even hate jews.
There are geo pockets of hate, yes, and small groups that have a disproportionate media power to promote hate narratives.
Let's not echo their thoughts.

It sound alike you already know the answer to your question. If you ask me, though, I don't see why it's not possible for grave suffering to exist in multiple places simultaneously.
My capacity to give damns is finite.
If you happen to be some saint who has infinite capacity for empathy, good for you. I think most people share my sentiment, though.

Nothing fair about that. Most of the people suffering had nothing to do with the events they're being punished for.

They have been independent since 1956. Other (majority non-European) British colonies/protectorates as diverse as Singapore (ind. 1965), Belize (ind. 1981), India (ind. 1947) and UAE (ind. 1971) managed to build peaceful societies. We need to recognize that the people of countries like Sudan are not children who don't know any better, contrary to European leftists' views. They are fully functioning adults who made a…
I don't think India is a great example here. The Partition of India in 1947 resulted in over 1 million deaths.

If anything I’d blame the lack of colonialism as being the root cause of their problems.
Are you perhaps assuming they have no chance of learning to govern themselves peacefully? I don't subscribe to this fixed mindset. I believe all peoples can learn to do well. It's hard, but possible. So the lack of conolialism isn't the answer, but lack of learning.
