When I was in school we were taught genocide is a crime against humanity, now the USA and other countries act like Israel has blackmail material on all their leaders. What causes so many countries to be supporting them like this?

good comparison to the Taliban. They were being fundet and weaponized by the US against the CCCP and were deemed a good ally. But then they threatened the opium exports into the US and had to be killed. todays allies can always be tomorrows enemies. but PLEASE look into the balance of power. one side is throwing stones, the other has the military might of half the western world.
