    Why the hell are the World presidents not doing anything against this?

    While I’m no scholar, I really think it’s a geo-political issue. If the West doesn’t support Israel, then Russia will and gain considerable power in the Middle East. It’s the only reason I can think of. Any one have any ideas?

      I don’t know that it matters anymore. This so clearly breaks with stated American values that’s it’s now just a matter of time before we break ties with Israel. I’m willing to bet the Russians and Chinese are already setting up shop there.

        Russia and China have both condemned Israel’s genocide of Palestinians and called for ceasefires. On the other hand, the US is actively funding the genocide. That’s US values.

          Russia is more or less openly supporting Hamas and China is choosing a transparent and clumsy policy of endearing themselves with the global South by only condemning Israel and not even mentioning Hamas. Neither nation should be admired for what they are doing.
