No amount of convincing and irrefutable evidence of the genocide will convince Western leaders to halt support for Israel, because it isn't in their interests. The only thing that will stop the genocide is to make it more costly than profitable.
We are repeatedly told that the Western political elite, along with their institutional appendages, are cowardly — that they are simply too afraid to say and do more in the face of the Zionist regime’s genocide in Gaza, or that they are too readily influenced by Zionist propaganda and too beholden to the pro-regime lobby. But such accusations don’t stand up to scrutiny.
Biden, Harris, and almost the entirety of the Democratic Party — including its so-called “progressive wing” — were so committed to the Zionist settler colony that they preferred to throw away the 2024 election rather than offer any serious opposition to its atrocity crimes and other rights abuses. Similarly, a plethora of European government officials — Keir Starmer, David Lammy, Emmanuel Macron, Olaf Scholz, Friedrich Merz, and many more — are so committed to the Zionist settler colony that they are willing to risk indictment for aiding and abetting war crimes rather than suspend trade agreements or arms sales.
