  Sanction Israel for genocide for a start. Cut off diplomatic economic educational and financial ties with them. Like the world did with South Africa.

  But Europe doesn’t give a fuck about genocide unless it’s on their soil.

        Why are you (whatever your country is) supporting America? Why is half the world using the US Dollar for international trade? How is your country enabling the USA?

        Do you think the USA are Nazis? Do you think if you sit at the table with Nazis, you’re a Nazi? Is your country sitting at the table?

        The US $ is the world currency for oil. Sanctioning America = sanctioning yourself.

      Fair. But if any bloc in the world can do it it’s the European Union. But their members don’t give a shit otherwise they would have by now.

      The fact is no one in Europe cares about it. Years, decades, of weasel words and inaction. Years of illegal occupation and ifnoryof UN mandates. Years of on going genocide. But the people dying aren’t white Europeans… oh well too bad for them I suppose?

        Yeah, and Pakistan and Indonesia have done what exactly? The Saudis have sanctioned and oil embargoed the US? Egypt has forced aid through the Gaza border? Turkey has seized American military bases? Right? Right? No.

        Everyone is complicit. More or less every nation would rather have peace and comfortable political discussions, rather than stand up against the world hegemon. Some tried, Libya, Iraq, Cuba, Venezuela, and Iran. Find me one country that has opposed the US in this? And before you say Spain, let me note that they haven’t even kicked out their ambassador. What do you want from Europe that no other country is willing to do?

  Stop actively supporting Israel, mostly

  There are European nations that send a lot of money to Israel every year. Maybe they can stop doing that?
