Yeah, I know. My first comment was a joke about two wrongs not making a right, just a right-wing - but then things went off the rail when someone asked what the second wrong was & I made the mistake of replying.
Agreed. How anyone can still stand the stench of Netanyahu - let alone continue to back him - is beyond me. It blows my mind that it’s taken this long for any even vaguely serious action against them to happen.
The war machine generates power and wealth by wreaking devastation onto far away lands, then uses that power and wealth to create more war. Netanyahu is and has always been powerless without the international community enabling him. Israel and its colonial project are wholly western inventions. The western nations backing Israel wouldn’t suddenly shut it down now that it is executing its intended purpose while also absorbing most if not all of the generated backlash. Not without major resistance.
But even those countries who aren’t likely profiting from it have been rather muted in their reactions. It’s rather disappointing. Only their nearby middle eastern neighbors have really had anything significant in terms of response up until recently.

It’s a touchy subject. Pretty understandably, I might add.
