    This article essentially says “These protests are unlikely to change government agendas because governments currently don’t support a ceasefire.” it doesn’t explain why this is the case.

    That point is neither enlightening nor interesting.

      This article does a horrible job of explaining it.

      Russia-adjacent countries have a strong incentive to support Israel if they want to purchase missile defense systems. Finland signed a deal earlier this week. Many countries around the world use Israeli-made/designed military systems, and they don’t want to jeopardize their continued access to those systems.

      The other factor is non-public intelligence - tack this sentence before every IDF tweet: “We have shared intelligence with our allies and are making a tiny bit public:”

            So countries like Vietnam did not have a moral ground to fight against their french, american or chinese invaders?

            I’d be careful with blanket statements.

                Should Hitler have been allowed to complete his final solution?

                Should Ukraine just give up 20% of their nation?

                  Not moral, and also not actually about any of those causes but actually about economic capture.

                  Again not a moral war, Russia wanted land and former ussr bases not to eradicate Nazis.

            no but there are strategically needed war. Lets take France.

            During 7th October attack France saw 30 of her citizens murdered, tortured and raped directly by the HAMAS and there are still french hostage in Gaza. I want to note this is an act of war France could perfectly respond to with the full might of its armament. This happen in spite of the tens if millions of euros they send each year to Gaza in humanitarian aid and their political condemnation of Israeli colonization. France suffered a terrorist attack motivated by an international Jihad partly supported by HAMAS around the same date. On the wider spectrum, France as a large Christian population who regularly send loads of pilgrims in Israel and Palestine, therefore the HAMAS is indeed a very real threat to french security.

            So yeah France is not going to blame Israel for destroying the HAMAS However France has spearheaded vast humanitarian effort for Palestinians since the beginning of the slaughters, from taking part in the EU airlift to sending an hospital ship to Gaza, the French Republic has been resolute in preserving civilian life while letting HAMAS die in their hole

              It’s 100% French tourists went to a country that is actively in conflict with it’s neighbors while occupying and carrying out offensives in occupied territory. Death is a risk France specifically warns people about and Israel hasn’t been on the French safe travel list since 2021 because it isn’t… Safe.

              That is not casus belli but way to warhawk!

              Gaza had not received aid in over 48 hours, no power, no water, dead left to rot. France has no left to stand on homie, that’s not how any of this works.
