The US stops giving money and weapons to Israel, there's no way they could continue on this path after that.
Of course this is just a hypothetical, the West won't 180 and the US definitely won't cut Israel off, but that'd do it.
Honestly this is it. The US stops providing money and weapons, western powers stop defending Israeli trade ships in the red sea, and the Israeli orphan crushing machine grinds to a halt in under a week.
I agree.
By itself, Israel just isn't a viable state. It's a US/European colony.
Even if the US and European countries would continue their aid, but (for example) crack down on dual citizenship, Israel would implode.
And I do think the 180 is going to come within two decades. We already see that young Americans and young Europeans do not support Israel in majority.
And it's not just aid to Israel, but also aid to Egypt, Jordan and special privileges for Saudi-Arabia.
There are so many expensive support structures to make the colony work, that I honestly don't think Israel will exist in its current form in 2050.
America does not care what it's citizens want. Look at how popular healthcare and abortion access is. Doesn't matter one bit.
Right, they don't need to actively do anything to oppose Israel, they just need to cease aiding it.
