    Every nation in the world should embargo Israel. Give it 6 months and I bet they change their murderous tune.

      I doubt it. They’ve gone hard nationalist and seem to be ready to sacrifice for the things they imagine they have to do.

        Israel depends on the global economy far more than Russia and other terrorist states. Legitimate economic sanctions could definitely halt their crimes, but I have zero confidence any of the wests political classes have the morals and ethics to accomplish the task.

    This would not have happened if the British carved out a piece of Canada for the Jewish people instead of Jerusalem

      The Jewish people choose to be in Jerusalem because it’s their ancestral home. The British did not have much sway in deciding where they wanted to go. The only influence they had on the matter was the authority to peacefully let it happen, through their officials, to to deny the Zionist request, and will have to use their weaken and exhausted military try to fight against the Zionist.

        Indeed, but the land was already “settled” so why not put another group of people together with the British, French and the First Nations?

        They could have taken a large piece of land in the middle of Canada to create a province with the capital called Jerusalem. Then name the province British Zion… Problem solved, wars and genocides avoided.

    We keep acting like Netanyahu isn’t going to jail as soon as there’s no war. He’ll bomb the Seychelles before he goes to jail.
