The U.S. remains the only rich country that still had net positive views of Israel. Net favorability dropped just 2.2 percentage points, from a net favorability of 18.2 to a net favorability of 16 from September to December.
Arguable - Israel requires manufacturing from all over the world. Yes, US money is huge in this equation but they’re not the only people with agency to stop a fundamentalist ethno state commit genocide.
Just imagine if every single nation all at once decided that genocide isn’t cool and all put embargos on everyone currently supporting it, and then they all collapsed because they had the bright idea of shipping off all their factories overseas and now can’t access them.
No? The US is the one directly funding Israel’s genocide, but the EU has a trade agreement with Israel and is their biggest trading partner. If some BDS laws get passed because of this they’re fucked.
The US is the only country that matters in this situation.
