    Though their actions haven’t ever actually supported it. If the US and EU had sanctioned Israel, for example after the land grab of 1967, they could have forced a state on 1967 borders, if not 1948 borders. But instead they’ve just been giving them weapons and cash that has fueled the genocide instead.

      It’s not like China’s has done anything more than public statements either though. China is one of Israel’s biggest trading partners after all.

      But they didn’t so here we are
