    Israel is just bombing everybody in their neighborhood now, aren’t they?

    So what will happen if the international court finds them guilty of genocide, and their allies stop sending weapons and munitions? They’ll be surrounded by very angry nations who will want them to disappear after what they did.

      Israel has been bombing Iranian targets outside of Iran for a while though. It’s largely the reason they try to keep positive relations with Russia - to be able to continue bombing Russia aligned nations: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/23/us/politics/pegasus-israel-ukraine-russia.html

      It’s “just” a continuation of the Israel-Iran proxy war which has been going on for some time. I don’t think this is a meaningful, if any escalation.

      those are some big assumptions. You may as well ask what would happen if the US declares Israel a terrorist state and then sends 1000 cruise missiles to assassinate all the Kismet leaders+their families. It would stop the genocide, but it also will never happen.
