Many water facilities have been damaged or destroyed by Israel’s war in Gaza, according to the UN and others, compounding the civilian population’s suffering, risking the spread of disease and leading human rights experts to accuse Israel of using water supply as a weapon.

        If the US wanted it could certainly implement a no-fly zone on Ukraine. It just doesn’t want to.

        I have no idea why you think the US can’t do this to Israel. What’s Israel going to do about it?

            “global nuclear war” with israel, a country with a nuclear arms program so small it doesn’t even officialy exist, and without a delivery system

            yes this makes sense

              You mentioned Ukraine. Has nothing to do with Israel. This comment is just dumb and deserves a pass.

            No, not next. Back the fuck up.

            You think Israel would launch nukes because the US enforced a no fly zone?

            They’d kill everyone on Earth and themselves just because the US gives them a timeout?

            Then they’re a rogue state that needs to be destroyed before they start WW3.

              The US can’t enforce a “no fly zone” in some other parts of the world they are not actively engaged with.

                  Do you know what kind of presence it takes to enforce an NFZ over what is essentially THE ENTIRE MIDDLE EAST?

                  I’m not sure what you mean, but unless ISIS (who declared Fatya on the US) was in Libya, and a proxy attacked them on behalf of the US, it’s still not the same thing.

                    No, not next.

                    The US is actually obligated under international law to prevent genocide, so it could even do this under complete compliance with UN mandate. You seem to think there’s some kind of barrier stopping the US from doing this, but I have no idea why? Israel could not stop the US from implementing a no-fly zone, therefore, the US can implement a no-fly zone. Unless you think some other country would intercede on Israel’s behalf, there’s literally nothing they could do to stop it.

                you’re saying that, because the us can’t get involved in a conventional war against russia, that they can’t stop supplying arms to israel

                  You are 100% wrong, but I don’t have the energy to explain how geopolitics works. If you don’t understand the balance that needs to be made, you’re as bad as the GOP telling Trump to just go do forcefully stupid shit.
