    That’s the problem.

    The western democracies aren’t weak like TropicalDingDong says, their governments have chosen their side.

    And if the neighboring countries do anything about it, the western democracies will take action.

    The inaction isn’t due to inability, but due to apathy for the Palestinians.

      Saudi Arabia and the Arab world could ban the sale of oil and see biden prostrate, nobody gives a fuck about them because you can’t make money from them and being a religious minority (in the west at-least) is the icing on the cake, not to say they care about their religious brothers, it was never a reason for anything other than oppression of people they don’t like.

        Like I said above, most Middle Eastern governments who aren’t aligned with Iran have been tamed by the US using both carrots and sticks. Saudi Arabia wants their weapons, Egypt wants its aid, etc etc.

        If they did that, the US would suddenly discover they have chemical weapons and need to be invaded ASAP.

        Yeah, but they are not thinking about Biden, they are probably worried about the other guy.
