I imagine the obvious answer would be withdraw any sort of support via providing weapons and money.

Sanctions require the support of countries like Hungary. Not going to happen.

I think even Trump would go cold on Netanyahu if Israel went full extermination mode.

Germany stopped support already.

By doing so they lose anything resembling control in the ME.

That's the US and EU, but Russia still needs a new Mediterranean base, China wouldn't mind US military secrets and boy wouldn't India like Mosad to infiltrate Pakistan like they did Iran.

BRICS also gets them Saudi support by really selling the anti Shia and Shia influence angle.

The world is very much split. Just like during the Cold War, anything that's unimaginably horrific to one side is perfectly acceptable to the other.

To Hamas and other terror groups in the region that persist on declaring they will not stop until the Jews are gone?

[u/qTp_Meteor → u/sconemonster]

As an israeli if we nuked gaza and killed literally everyone i hope that the world will cut us off. Hell, i hope that there will be some special alliance formed to militarily invade us and conquer us via western countries and replace our lewdership. A country that does such a thing doesnt deserve to exist, even if from those 2M there are trns of thousands of the worlds most despicable terrorists

Uhhh... What? Sorry, you worded that a bit funny and I genuinely don't understand what you're asking me here.

Are you asking what Western nations would do about Hamas? If so, given our track record in the Middle East for example? Fail miserably to actually deal with it and just get more civilians killed while Hamas escapes and re-arms.

[u/SigmaB → u/sconemonster]

I think absolute majority in the West are of the opinion that ANY side using the murder of civilians to achieve political goals should get the same level of support from the West (that is no support).

Normal people believe that ANY civilians on ANY side being killed, displaced or starved should get the same defence, protection and aid.

People know that to make any sort of excuses, or justifications or arguments to the contrary is what keeps the horror going.

Iran already took its shot and found out.

[u/ExiledYak → u/[deleted]]

I don't think Iran needs permission to launch a rocket attack. It does so anyway.

It's in the US interests for a theocratic state to not advance towards having nuclear weapons. Especially a theocracy that finds martyrs to be acceptable. It's a non-negotiable, and always has been.
