The problem that other countries face is the US retaliating if anyone does anything to Israel. There's a reason that Israel's neighbors, most notably Egypt, are mostly just letting this happen. They just aren't willing to get treated like Hezbollah or Ansar Allah or Iran.

Had a Biden lover say Israel would be fine on their own, but couldn't understand no one wants to anger the usa

American liberals wanting to absolve themselves of any responsibility.

Israel would crumple like tinfoil if the countries who stood against them could attack them directly. It is only America's arms, aid, and threat of retaliation that dissuades that. This is as much America's genocide as Israel's.

The thing is, if a few large western countries like France, Germany, and the UK would band together and demand an end to it, there might be discomfort with political relations, but Biden and the US wouldn't really have any room to squirm. But other than France, the others don't seem to mind, or at least don't mind out loud.

The UK under the Tories is all in on support for the genocide. And Keir Starmer isn't one to rock the boat. His priority seems to be stamping out anything good in the Labour Party.
