    The time for talking about diplomacy was sometimes during the last 75 years. At this point a moral and practical country would be choking Israel in military & technology sanctions, arresting any & all members of the government & military who set foot within their borders, shooting down Israeli jets & drones to enforce a no fly zone, and bombing any & all Israeli military & paramilitary targets into dust.

        Exactly. But in this case I’m talking about the ‘western liberal democracies’ which constantly fall back on the idea of a diplomacy that they never actually meaningfully attempt before washing their hands and going back to supporting genocide.
