Jordan's Foreign Minister nails it. [1]

From the Guardian: Jordan’s foreign minister has said Arab troops will not go to Gaza as he delivered a blistering criticism of Israel’s war on Hamas.
Safadi, in a no-holds-barred attack on Israel and the cover being provided by the US, said faith in peaceful negotiation and international law was being destroyed by the west’s refusal to rein in Israel.
The credibility of international law had fallen victim to its selective application, he said. “If any other country in the world did a fragment of what Israel did, it would have sanctions imposed on it from every corner of the world.”
He said even those who accepted Israel was acting in self-defence “keep telling Israel to act within international law. It is not, so where do we go from here? Keep telling them to do it? They keep refusing to do it. People are being killed day in and day out.”
He said: “International law has to apply to all. The message seems to be that Israel can do whatever it wants. That is what the world is seeing, [that] Israel is above the law.”

Spot on, especially the comment on sanctions.
Israel is doing what it likes to whom it likes and because of the US and the West it can.
There will be consequences for this down the track — some foreseen, others not but nine of them good.
This is collective punishment on a massive scale.
Israel cannot find security by blowing people to bits.
Israel is clearly out of control and it’s time the US and the West cancelled the blank check they have given Netanyahu and his gang of killers.
But even if they do the damage is done in my view.
Unfortunately for those wanting to help Ukraine, what is going on in Gaza greatly weakens their arguments when it comes to convincing some nations on the fence to support the cause.
What a disaster.
