I love how a country is allowed to just get away with killing children and UN workers and doctors and journalists but we condemn countries that do the same thing like Russia. It makes no sense that Israel should get a free pass, all it does is expose a huge double standard

Isreal's main exports are cutting-edge technology found nowhere else in the world. Russia's main export is oil. Western and European Union countries were fine getting their oil elsewhere, but they absolutely do not want to give up advanced tech. Especially since there will always be other countries that don't care and will continue trading anyway.

Israel ain't Taiwan. What tech do you think is indispensable there?

It's security software - firewalls, VPNs, that sort of thing. It's not that it's not available anywhere else, but the Israeli stuff was always considered among the best before this conflict kicked off.

It's also weapons. Many of which are sold as "battle tested" because they were tested in Palestine.
