The USA is the only one that Israel would have to listen to. The reason why no one else will do it is that it will have no effect and it will remove whatever tiny amount of leverage they might have.

Easing Israel towards the status of Pariah state, that is what the international community has been doing. Much as Smotrich and Ben Gvir might howl, they have shot their "blood libel" bolt, and no one is shying away from criticism any longer.

In truth, I don't think that Israel is beyond repair. They still have enough democratic integrity to boot these thugs and vandals out, and pack them off to The Hague for aping all that they learned in their studying of what happened to their forebears in Warsaw, Lviv, Theresienstadt and beyond - it was supposed to be a salutary lesson, rather than a handy users' guide.

Would the present US administration baulk against an Israeli Government of National Notcuntery? Probably.

But, that would not hold with the decent US Jewish vote and the shame that has been visited upon Israel.
