    Hey look. Its what we’ve been telling you it was the whole time. A genocidal eradication of a people to take their land.

    The weakness of western ‘democracies’ is disgusting.

      I’m thinking these days. The problem with democracy is that it can’t be forced even if it were the correct thing to do in the pragmatic sense. If you force it, it’s not democracy.

        That’s the problem.

        The western democracies aren’t weak like TropicalDingDong says, their governments have chosen their side.

        And if the neighboring countries do anything about it, the western democracies will take action.

        The inaction isn’t due to inability, but due to apathy for the Palestinians.

            Saudi Arabia and the Arab world could ban the sale of oil and see biden prostrate

            Like I said above, most Middle Eastern governments who aren’t aligned with Iran have been tamed by the US using both carrots and sticks. Saudi Arabia wants their weapons, Egypt wants its aid, etc etc.

              The Saudis’ also wouldn’t be anywhere near as successful with an oil squeeze today as they were in the 70s.

        It’s Western democracies that tamed Middle Eastern countries to make sure they’re always on Israel’s side, or at least effectively neutral. You can see it from Saudi Arabia’s weapons and war in Yemen to Egypt’s aid; the US spends a lot of money and political capital to buy the Middle East’s cooperation in Israel’s Apartheid/genocide project. And if that wasn’t enough, they deployed strike carriers to make sure nobody intervenes militarily.
