President Joe Biden said Tuesday Israel’s prime minister needs to change his hardline government and support for the country’s military campaign is waning amid heavy bombardment of Gaza. … “This is the most conservative government in Israel’s history,” Biden said, adding that the Israeli government “doesn’t want a two-state solution.”

It’s mind-blowing how thoroughly Netanyahu has bungled this. They had damn near the entire world in full support after Hamas’ horrific attack on Israeli civilians, and they’ve managed to lose it.

      Northern Europe are still in Zionist control but they’ve lost Southern Europe already.

      Also Biden said he will always support israel no matter what, he’s just talking about the rest of the world, especially Europe, changing their mind over the genocide.

      The UN is “one nation one vote” and a majority of nations in the UN have very few people in them, comparatively.

      It’s quite easy for totalitarian/authoritarian/extremist governments to shove votes through the UN by banding together.
