The hegemon lookin a little lonely these days...

Looks like Germany also expressed support, France condemned, and the rest of the EU is silent so far.

Great to see even Israel's allies in the ME speak out against this.

We're the biggest assholes in the world, after Israel.

I'm genuinely wondering how this is gonna shake out. I don't see the US accepting the defeat of apartheid in Palestine the same way they were forced to in South Africa. Israel is too useful a military base for their intended war with Iran, which the rest of the world has zero interest in.

I thought the USA broke from the UK because of freedom? How could they be so closely aligned?

The US broke from the UK due to the UK over taxing the extremely wealthy in the US to make up the deficit from their war with the French.

Don't worry. The others will follow their big daddies. Germany will probably follow. And with Germany, must of the EU, unless they want to anger Germany and not get any funding....

In 1979 the US and UK tried to fat the Iranian over, but the Iranian kicked them out.

These misery people must still be sour from their wounds

The hypocrisy in this after condemning Iran for "escalating".

The amount of vassal states Israel controls is getting smaller by the day.
