The half measures aren't working. Just go in and stop it. It's a crime against humanity, it's not complex.

I mean, I am dreaming if I think it will happen. I would love to be wrong and see the countries of Europe do something significant while the US is busy just falling over and soiling itself, and see if it works. It would be a wonderful precedent. And, again, it's late as hell, but I'll take it if it could actually happen.

If nothing else it would mean all the Gazans who already died or might as well have, didn't die in vain.

Sanctions don’t work, arms shipments do have a direct but not conflict ending impact. If a country can’t even do something as minor as not 3rd party participating in the genocide, how can we ever expect them to intervene.

I would like to see any attempt made, as it’s a step in the right direction and I understand these fools in charge need to go glacially slow for whatever reason.

Yeah. Like I say, it's not complicated. And with anything competent in the US going out of the picture for a while, European countries might actually have a chance to get involved and do something. Lord knows Israel isn't going to stop and the US isn't going to do anything that's good in this regard.
