    If people haven’t figured out by now that the US doesn’t give a rats ass about the Palestinians, I don’t know what to tell you.

    .

    Cut off all support and Israel buddies up with China, India, or possibly even Russia.

    Neither China nor Russia is going to give Israel the time of day. I can think of no reason why India would, either.

    (The latter is becoming unlikely as Russia begins to unravel).

      When did I say the US gives a rats ass about the Palestinians? Check your assumptions maybe? Palestinians have no strategic relevance to the US one way or the other. It is, however, inconvenient to be connected to a genocide. The conflict is also fucking up US plans to leave the Middle East to Israel and Saudi Arabia so it can focus on Africa. It really doesn’t want Israel’s actions bringing the rest of the region into the conflict.

      BTW: Not that I would expect you to check, but I literally said exactly the same phrase about the US not giving a rats ass about Palestine.

      There are three regional powers in the Middle East. The US has Israel and Saudi Arabia. Russia has Iran. You don’t think Russia would want to become dominant? You don’t think China has interests in the Middle East?

      If you can’t see that Russia is no longer a top tier power, that explains a great deal.

      Russia is actually Israel’s #1 exporter of Jews, which is vital for maintaining their racial majority. As a consequence Russian-Israeli relationships are warm. Bibi and Putin are on very good terms.
