Support for Israel creates a sense that it ‘can do what it wants’: Analysis

Richard Dalton, a former UK ambassador to Iran, says support for Israel from the West is working against de-escalating the conflict.
“It’s working against establishing a peaceful settlement across the region, whether within Palestine or beyond because it is creating this sense that Israel can do what it wants,” he told Al Jazeera.
“They can humiliate the United States. They can bank the military support from the United Kingdom and Israel’s European partners and not do anything to respond to the requirements of those countries that there should be progress towards Palestinian statehood as a prerequisite for peace,” he added.
Dalton said that public opinion in the West is turning against Israel due to how it has been fighting its wars.
“I believe that opinion has turned against Israel because of Israel’s action, because of Israel’s denial of basic human rights, because Israel’s denial that rights which it claims for itself should be accorded to others,” he said.

One side is winning. One side is losing. They are losing in Gaza, Losing in Lebanon, and soon in Iran. The losing side wants ceasefire. If they were winning, we all know what they would have done.

Israel and Jordan made peace, Israel and Egypt made peace, Israel and Saudi Arabia will make peace soon... Those who want peace - get peace. The Palestinians want Israel - big problem. Iran wants to destroy Israel - big problem. And Lebanon... I don't know what Lebanon wants.

Hundred years of atrocities and genocide against Palestinian people and the region from the second Palestine occupation . British mandate of Palestine 1921 and the Haganah forces committed injustices for 27 years against Palestinian people until UN 1948 approved the Palestine occupation. Killing and migrating thousands of Palestinian people to establish the second Palestine occupation on justification that. David 921 BC killed Goliath Jalut Palestine King and occupied Palestine. Google, who was Goliath. David built his kingdom on the Palestine occupied land. Palestine was then divided into Judea and Samaria after Solomon. Nebuchadnezzar liberated Palestine 600 BC and took Jews to Babylon from where Abraham migrated to Palestine. The second Palestine occupation comes 3000 years from the David 921 BC Palestine occupation. Palestine was occupied by David for 300 years, Persians, Greek, Roman for 900 years, but Roman doesn't claim Palestine.

It is not just words, but actions too. Why do the US and France and the UK shoot down Iranian missiles aimed at Israeli military targets but not Israeli missiles aimed at Lebanon or Gaza civilian neighborhoods? Especially when Israel has a very advanced anti missile shield that would intercept most of those missiles while Lebanon and Gaza have no such technology.

[@chrisspencer6502]

Don’t worry you can be sure that it’s a cost European and American politicians are willing to let their citizens pay. Like Iraq and Afganistan we can be sure their will just be hand wringing down the road about how mistakes were made

[@Assrael972]

God is for everyone and everything, not just israel. Israels behvior actually shows it is just appropriating judaism for hedonistic and capitalist purposes. Just how many of the 15 million israelis actually know the 10 Commandments? And how is the oppression of the palestinians justified in light of those commandments? It just proves that israelis are using fake religion.

The clarification of the ICJ of July 17, 2024 states: 1. Israel must leave all illegally occupied territories (Gaza, West Bank, East Jerusalem... GOLAN HEIGHTS) 2. Israel and all supporters of the illegal occupation are obliged to make reparations (US, UK, GERMANY...)

[@HemantSharma-j6m]

Israel won these territories in wars which Arabs themselves started. Israel has legal ownership

It doesn't want because the US is completely fine with what Israel does, just cannot publicly admit this for obvious reasons. So it "just" makes sure Israel has every tool to do the dirty work changing the face of the mideast in it's and the US favour.

[@subhasisghosh66]

The interest of India is understanding of what it is to be a secular democracy, surrounded by hostile Islamic countries who are not interested in peace and development.

[@Ducky97743]

A large section of the AJ audience has a massive cognitive dissonance. They cheer Russia for invading its neighbor but cry foul when Isreal does it. They call NATO "warmongers" for supporting Ukraine and call Iran "Savior" for supporting Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis.
