I hope they start supporting Ukraine too but Palestine is amazing news.
I am very curious to see how US, the fascist dog of Israel will react to that. More taxes?
of all these countries that are taking measures against the settler entity, what surprises me is that 1) china didn't took action before; 2) portugal is taking action despite montenegro; and 3) chile is taking action despite boric.
What can we realistically expect from this group?
It would be great if they could at least sanction Israel and the US in addition to what some of these states are already doing unilaterally, but short of blocking any further shipping of arms (many of these countries are positioned on or near key straits in the region, I guess) what else can they do other than direct conflict or more performative decrees from the same neoliberal-dominated institutions that are currently failing us?
Good.
Man I really hope this doesn't turn into a proxy war.
One side already has the Western world supporting them. Can't get much worse if the Global South starts arming the resistance except them being able to fight back.
It is objectively the right thing to do and very important, and at the same time, as an American I desperately do not want a proxy war. Donald trump would love to have an excuse to give even more ludicrous amounts of taxpayers dollars to military contractors at a time when no one can afford shit and cost of living is spiking

The idea that anyone would need an excuse to give military contractors infinite money in this country is the funniest thing I've heard all day.
Fair honestly. I just can't help but think that having an excuse would make it worse 😅
Not sure why people are downvoting me for not wanting a proxy war, that seems like a pretty reasonable way to feel as best I can see...
The US doesn't have the industrial capacity, there's a difference between currency and the actual physical industrialization needed to maintain a proxy war.
