    Threats are meaningless. At this point Israel should be sanctioned like Iran and Russia. They shouldn’t be allowed to do business with the west until they withdraw from all occupied land and commit to reparations to rebuild the hundreds of billions in damage they’ve done to civilian infrastructure. They must pay for the damage they’ve done.

      Ideally yes, but that will never happen as quickly (if at all) when it’s a country that has been considered an ally for decades. Similar to how many European politicians are still going on about the US being an “important ally”, even when it’s Trump’s USA being openly hostile to our way of life and democracy.
