Basically every country, for the most part, wants to keep regular relations going with every other country. Doesn’t mean they agree with each other or really even engage in trade. They want to remain friendly and have open communications channels. Severing ties in this way means that there is no possible normal interactions between them again.
Good. Only ~215 countries to go. No one should have normal interactions with Israel or anyone who supports Israel.
Communication breakdowns and bargaining friction is how wars start.
Being able to talk to a government is a far cry from supporting it or agreeing with it. Even if you dislike Israel, you should want there to be diplomatic relations - that is how other countries can exert influence and attempt to steer them off more radical courses, after all.
Case in point - if the West had no diplomacy with them, then the opening of the border crossing into Egypt would never have happened.
Counter example: America doesn't negotiate with terrorists.
What's the next step, comrade? Sending those nasty israelis to concentration camps?
Do you think the only options are allow Israel to do a genocide or do a genocide on Israelis? Cutting off diplomacy with a settler colony client state is not genocide.
There is probably a place between stupid and ridiculous that you could have aimed for. Amazingly, you managed to hit both of those.
Amazing projection, considering those nasty Israelis are currently running the world's largest concentration camp and are working on converting it to a death camp.
The next step is stopping a genocide you unbelievable fucking freak.
Go make friends with an Arab person. Please, go see them as human for one goddamn second.
very nice that your username is a shitty fusion of reek and latin meaning "revealer of nothing higher." This comment is dog shit.
Probably somewhere between not talking to them and genocide, I'd guess
No, just you
So that iran can just waltz in and do the same thing to Israel that Israel is doing to the Palestinians?
That's somehow a better outcome?
Here's an idea. We don't let Iran do it either.
I feel like Palestine would have something to say if "Iran" just waltzed in (how?) and decided to setup a concentration camp for jews, since israel as a country would rightfully no longer exist.
Yeah they would say "stop that's our job"
