Images of Gaza Devastation - a picture can destroy a thousand lies

164. My point was that as long as our country continues its full fledged support

for Israel there will be no consequences regardless of what the rest of the world thinks. It's a fine gesture for those Latin American countries to withdraw their ambassadors, but those countries don't supply Israel with weapons, we do. And they have minimal trade with Israel. We are Israel's largest trading partner, and guess what, China is Israel's third largest trading partner. The Chinese just recently sent a high level trade delegation to Israel in an attempt to increase trade even more. And there are other governments on the Israeli side as well. The Canadian government has arguably shown more enthusiastic support for Israel during this current conflict than the United States has. And it's most notable that several Arab countries have only offered very muted criticism of Israel during this current conflict and in fact the Egyptian government has been openly rooting for Israel to defeat Hamas.

The South African apartheid regime only went down after the United States initiated sanctions. This will not happen in the case of Israel. If any American government tried that it would amount to political suicide. And as I said already, our probable next president Hillary Clinton could not be counted on to reign in Israel either.
