Politicians from those countries are under enormous Public Opinion pressure to "do something" to Stop Israel (for example, in Britain 500 THOUSAND people demonstrated against the Genocide).
So the politicians in power do the most innefective "something" imaginable.
The simplest most surperficial reading of this is: see, they did "something" and even if small "it's a step forward" - you see a lot of posters here doing that reading.
An analysis with even just the tiniest bit of depth yields the possibility that, by choosing to do the least effective thing they could do now, they're diffusing some of that Public Opinion pressure thus delaying the time when the pressure is so big they have to do something that actually hurts Israel, like Sanctions.
If that is the case, then this action is in fact negative rather than merely meaningless or "a small step forward", because it gives Israel more time to exterminate Palestinians and steal more of their land - it means more deaths rather than fewer and a worse future (as more of them get dispossessed) rather than a better one.
Given that all these countries are still sending weapons to Israel, and the UK - which was the initiator of all this - is even running surveillance flights over Gaza and giving the info to Israel, it seems to me that the "it's a delaying action to give room for Israel to take their Final Solution further" explanation is far more likely than the idea that this is being done with a genuine intent of helping Palestinians.
Exactly. As someone from the UK, I find it nothing more than placating to public pressure, but don’t get it twisted we are still selling them weapons and running recon flights for Israel to then murder people.
Can't they just nuke Israel?
That would count as doing something
Unfortunately there are good people there, not just nazis. and I haven't heard of a bomb that discriminates yet
oh come on.
That's the less polluting solution. We must take the environment into consideration when talking about purging
