The rules of the institutions that define our lives bend like reeds when it comes to Israel – so much that the whole global order is on the verge of collapse

Israel’s war in Gaza is chipping away at so much of what we – in the United States but also internationally – had agreed upon as acceptable, from the rules governing our freedom of speech to the very laws of armed conflict. It seems no exaggeration to say that the foundation of the international order of the last 77 years is threatened by this change in the obligations governing our legal and political responsibilities to each other.

    I mean that Israel depends on usa support. That could disappear on a whim.

    War crimes and normalised genocide is a risk to all countries sovereignty.

    You’re looking at the current layout of the middle east. It’s a constantly changing unstable environment. Iran going nuclear is in nobodies interest but Iran.

    Not punishing Russia for invasion of Ukraine showed the world that if you don’t want to be subject to larger countries rule, you need nukes. Ukraine is the only country to voluntarily give them up. Look how that turned out. Israel has not signed the non proliferation treaty. All other signatory countries have an obligation to stop them too. Where was that will?

    Israel won’t be isolated due to protests. Israel receives support as a vassal state to be useful in the middle east. USA is no longer dependent on the middle east. Europe less so, but still dependent. Israel is therefore less useful. So support will end eventually, irrespective of Israel’s actions. Israel might hasten that end with actions that are politically damaging for the politicians in countries that enable their genocide.
