Who in the global south will help the Palestinians? Crickets? I hear crickets
The Global South is all about criticizing but not acting.
Yeeeeup let’s she the BRIC countries send a couple air craft carriers to the Mediterranean and stop the war.
Oh, you mean economicaly? You mean start sanctions and lose all their trading partners?
Exactly. They seem to mean that anyone who isn’t willing to go to war against America and co is not worth listening to.
But there are other consequences of large swathes of the world having a negative opinion on this, and the article makes some good points.
From what I hear, the aircraft carriers are mostly a threat to keep any additional actors from throwing their hat in the ring while Israel is distracted.

I thought we had a whole thing about Russia and Iran and South Africa and Ireland teaming up in a coalition of antisemitism to bring Israel down
Given Irelands history as a the neighbour of an oppressive stronger neighbour, their criticism.cones from awareness of the Palestinian plight. Criticizing Israel is no antisemitism. Equating Israel’s war like actions with judaism ludicrous. Israel is a sovereign nation that happens to have a large Jewish population (by design), but it’s a modern nation with it’s own interests separate to any religion.
I accidentally read Ireland and thought wtf did I miss?
Didn’t you hear? They’re funding Hamas
Palestinians and Hamas are not the same thing. But then you weren’t trying to have an honest conversation.
Can… You not read?
Russia and China have refused to condemn Hamas. They have instead criticized Israeli treatment of Palestinians, especially its decision to cut off water and electricity to Gaza and the civilian death toll there.
lol okay
The West is sucking so much that it makes Russia and China make good points. Does Israel deserve criticism for it’s actions? Obviously yes. Collective punishment is a war crime and cutting off water to civilians is fucking appalling even if it wasn’t. And that’s just the start of the list.
Did the US condemn them? Not really. Something something right to defend itself. Did Russia? Yep.
Obviously this isn’t enough for Russia to launder it’s appearance in most people’s eyes but they are still right to condemn Israel and some people will shift their view on Russia as a result. And what benefit is Israel to America, exactly? Biden making himself look like an accessory to war crimes because America is too deep in to admit it shouldn’t be supporting an ethnostate that’s been maintaining an open air prison for 16 years or however god damn long.
This situation is a failure of the global community, but especially America.
Obligatory list:
Fuck Russia
Fuck China
Fuck Israel
Fuck Hamas
And fuck you, the reader, just in case you haven’t sufficiently condemned Hamas today.
Because it’s a different fucking situation. Speaking as someone who is strongly anti-Israel in this situation.

It’s quite an interesting article, worth reading it instead of just pontificating about the headline.
It’s pretty rich for an article talking about developing nations to generalize all of them in the headline as if it’s some unified bloc. Tons of developing nations with intelligent leaders see no double standard here
