I can't believe Israel is going to murder every Palestinian left in Gaza, they're happily doing it. Then they're going to clear the rubble so they can build on it. Not one leader of any nation has done one thing to stop it, they bitch and moan but do nothing.

They crave American carrot and fear American stick.

For the same reason they bark like dogs at Russia. Because Master says.

And they know full well that they are hypocrites. This does not bother people of influence and authority one bit.

Yes but "multipolar world" leaders such as RF and China did nothing as well. And don't get me even started on "brothers" from the pitiful Gulf Arab kingdoms. Or how non-aligned leader racist Muslim-hating India fully supports genocide of Palestinians. Everything after WW2 was just a big lie. Incredible how few jews with a lot of money, army of useful idiots, and holowcaust industry propaganda corrupted most of the nations. Just amazing.

I would add that it is also neoliberal capitalism and late-stage capitalism that has brought the world to this state. These 'systems of capitalism' have tied the hands of many good, ordinary folk behind their back (through accumulation of debts because of expensive education, consumerism, prohibitively expensive health care, and more). Many ordinary people (at least in the U.S. that I know of) are in bankruptcy due to this system of 'neoliberal capitalism' and are often few paychecks away from homelessness. Job security is scarce. All these factors have made people job, wage, and debt slaves - and they don't speak up out of fear of their precarious circumstances brought about by this VERY SAME system of neoliberal Capitalism.

Valid points, to which I would add that US Imperialism is in desperate straits, losing war after war, embroiled in the terminal contradictions of late Capitalism, and desperate for a way out which it seeks through endless military violence. This damn system was due for extinction a hundred years ago its replacement being socialist internationalism.

I wish it was just fear of consequences that prevent the majority of people from acting on behalf of Palestinians but I tend to believe it’s more about falling for propaganda (that fuels xenophobia and racism).

It's many reasons - some of it being fear, some of it being disinterest in anything that doesn't concern a person's immediate well-being and family, some of it being group-think and social acceptability and belonging to a certain social-circle, some of it being racist and colonial ideologies, and many more reasons...

One important reason (IMO) is the lack of critical thinking in society - i.e. the lack of skills to parse through the propaganda that you mention - the lack of logical and reasoning abilities to separate fact from fiction, narratives from reality.

Sounds like another PHD thesis my friend : ). One day we will sit with coffee and speak about how and why as Palestine is Free : ) With the loss of funding for the experiment I care most about Dark Matter (low mass) having to move part of my time to a Neutrino Communication exp. I met a young undergrad from Aerospace eng., she a junior now thinks she will have no choice and leave her dream of working in space related science. With a frown near tear she said Mil. Ind. Complex may be her only source of income. I don't think people realize how far we have fallen, and it didn't start with Genocide Don : )

Well said. However, I would say Yemen has done more than one thing. South Africa has done some things. Nicaragua has also done some things. A few others as well. But in general, true. Very few leaders or nations have truly done anything.

Important that you single out those countries who have, it is something, as opposed to the mere words easily uttered by other nations.

A few well placed 2,000lb bombs would make them feel the reality that they are raining down on Palestinian Gaza. Surely someone has the guts?

No. Only Yemen, and Yemen is attacked for its troubles.

Yes, I admire how they did their best to help Gazans then America shrugged off it's pretence and bombed Yemen. In a disgusting attack. If Israel cannot fight those who help Palestinians on their own, they should stop their slaughter and try being a peaceful cult i stead of a murderous one.
