That doesn't work either for two major reasons. The underlying assumption to the argument is that people know more about this topic but:
1) That makes the argument circular as the only reason they know more about it is because it is talked about and focussed on more; and
2) The staggering level of sheer ignorance shows that people do not, in fact, know a lot about it (although perhaps they think they do).
As an aside, British involvement is probably far higher in most of the African wars than in Israel.
