    So this is how it ends? With almost every state valuing Israel too much to ever oppose their genocide in any meaningful way? They’re just going to keep backing them until they slowly grind Palestinians down to nothing, and then shrug their shoulders going “What’s a Palestine?”

    Is Israel the fucking lynchpin or load bearer to the world economy or something? Come the fuck on. Are they really that important?

    I swear if Israel actually starts rapidly collapsing every state that can barely manage the bare minimum for Palestinians will give Israel everything they have, crippling their own economies even, just to keep Israel afloat. That’s what I expect now.

      It’s baffling. It’s not like Israel is like, the sole supplier of something important. Literally the only thing of value they produce is weapons and they’re far from the only game in town.

      Like, how fucking hard is it to just not do trade with them? What the fuck are you getting out of this? If Russia was doing what Israel is doing I’d understand. “Yeah it’s bad but we need Russian oil or Europe freezes to death.” But Israel doesn’t offer anything important!

      At this point it’s hard to think that it’s anything other than either large scale blackmail of foreign politicians is just threatening other countries with nuclear weapons. I genuinely don’t know what else could be happening.

        That gets me the most. What the fuck do you even get from them that you can’t get anywhere else?

        Hell they don’t even have good media. Their entertainment comes solely from watching Palestinian children suffer and die. Outside of that, all they have is Raid: Shadow Legends (which is garbage). But that’s literally it!
