When is any western country except Ireland going to stand up to the extemist Netanyahu regime?
Washington Post:
The Israeli attack on Iran will be carried out before November 5, election day in the United States

France and Spain are calling for an arms embargo on Israel.
They'll never stop the US supply of weapons, though.
The one threat the west can make is to refuse to buy US-made weapons while those weapons are also being supplied to a genocide. Threaten the war-profits is the only way to stop war-profiteering.

It's a start though. Having the US all alone will send a message. Israel's economy will collapse eventually given people are fleeing and all the men are being deployed to an expending war which would need even more people.

True but the US will pay for a while as they can simply print money. Once their public know it's all on them it will hopefully create more pressure.
It gets messy, if there was a big arms embargo, Iran might take advantage of the situation.
Wish the Israeli's would just stop what they are doing.

i'm no fan of iran. but israel has been a far greater aggressor than iran. not only with their violence but with their supply of arms to other countries, many of whom are dodgy. recommend you read antony loewenstein book.
The Palestine Laboratory: How Israel Exports The Technology Of Occupation Around The World - Antony Loewenstein
How Israel makes a killing from the occupation. Israel’s military industrial complex uses the occupied, Palestinian territories as a testing ground for weaponry and surveillance technology that they then export around the world to despots and democracies. For more than 50 years, occupation of...

how is it “that this degree of suffering is allowed to happen in this world? It’s unimaginable.”
"First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me”

Israel a population 9.4 mill are really cocky in expecting millions of soldiers from other countries to protect them.

had Israel not embarked on the traumatic and hostile occupation of part of the arabian peninsula involving attacking the fundamental rights of palestinians from the day the state of Israel was settled, they would have no need to fear anyone. added to which its hostile interference in other matters in which they did not need to involve themselves. not to mention supplying arms and technology to several players who were antithetical to peace.
They were just a poor little underdog with a new army formed entirely out of terrorist organisations and with Prime Ministers who also mostly were ex-terrorists.
But if you read the histories written now about Israel, you'd swear they were a bunch of rabbi's wandering the desert being attacked by bloodthirsty pirates and just happened to win the fight 3-Amigos style.

Palestinians used as human shields
Another potential war crime to add to the list. The problem with RW governments is they are nearly always incompetent

How much can a heart break? Hearing the pain and suffering of Palestinians every single day has changed me for the rest of my life. I cannot imagine how it feels to be a Palestinian survivor right now with most of the powerful countries stepping aside to let the US and the Israelis murder all of their relatives and friends.
We live in such an unjust and messed up world right now.

I really hope trumpf gets his brains blown out b4 the election. Is that a crime to think that?
It is pretty shattering and crosses my mind at least once a day.
I’m hoping for Iran and the other countries to pull their finger out and even this contest. Can’t believe there is a literal genocide going on at the moment.

'Ireland is not going to “wait” for the rest of the EU to take action against extremist Israeli settlers, the country’s prime minister has said, amid growing frustration in Dublin and Madrid over Brussels’ perceived inaction.
On his way into a cabinet meeting in Dublin, Simon Harris said he Ireland is “not going to wait for consensus” in the EU to take action.
It comes as Ireland looks afresh at drating legislation which could block imports of products made in the occupied territories.
Such laws were considered in 2020 but it is thought a stronger legal case exists in the wake of July’s International Court of Justice advisory opinion that there were multiple breaches of international law in the occupation of Palestinian territories.' Guardian live blog
