I'm not saying this applies to Roman, but in regards to how other countries treat Israel I'm repasting my comment here because it answers your question.

America has sent 300 billion, adjusted for inflation, now to Israel. The first thing America did after voting against a humanitarian ceasefire, very recently, was sign off on another 14.5 billion dollars straight to Israel.

Here is the current president of the US openly stating that if Israel didn't exist, the US would [need to] invent it, to protect their interests in the region.

Here is an UNCTAD study from 2019 on the 177 billion recoverable barrels of oil belonging to Palestine

Just recently Israel just awarded 6 gas exploration licences.

This:

It's 300 billion adjusted for inflation actually now, in total. The first thing America did after voting against a humanitarian ceasefire was sign off on another 14.5 billon dollars straight to Israel.

Just reminds me of this btw.

Anything, anything happening in the world on the scale and level such as what we see with Palestine is a function of fiscal gain.

War is a means of moving money, amongst other things. America is the world's foremost economic super power and a defining feature of their economy is their arms industry, the private sector is fully intertwined with the government now. If you're the biggest arms dealer in the world only one thing is truly critical to business and it isn't peace.
