Being outraged when Israel shoots at you is antisemitism!

Outrage will surely stop the genocide! All those prisoners at Auschwitz were super outraged...

Outrage

Oh no: they'll append deep concerns with a strong-worded letter of disapproval! Trump-Netaniahu(and Putin, actually, too) might get sick from laughter.

Did anything come from them shooting at Irish peacekeepers?

They gave Israel impunity to genocide an entire race of people as part of a religious war, and now they have the audacity to be outraged when Israel scares them a little? This is what crosses the line?

Israel had a long history of attacking foreign diplomats.

In 1948 they assassinated a UN mediator

Since the very beginning, up until today, they saw no issue with murdering international peace keepers who might be sympathetic to the people who owned the land that they wanted to steal.

At what point do the more powerful nations that send Israel the money it needs to survive bring them to heel?

Idiots. Shooting at diplomats of countries that support you is not the best idea.

How so? They've literally sunk American military ships. These animals, somehow, do not face consequences.

France threatened them with the concept of a plan of sanctions a few days ago after the 14000 babies in 48 hours thing.
