The bombing of the Iranian consulate in Damascus and storming of Mexico’s embassy in Quito breaks with accepted diplomatic norms − and could spell trouble.
Israel has done so many things that are untenable in the modern age, yet the support from the west has not budged an inch, and it’s bringing the West’s claims to be post-colonial and anti-genocide into question…
…as well as raising some questions that previously only nazi leaning conspiracy theorists would entertain.
The level of unwavering support makes it look like Israel is in-charge, and Western leaders need to explain why this is.
I wouldn’t be surprised if western support is cited in future terrorist attacks. It’s highly unpopular among the public, yet so uniform to the point of being incredibly questionable.
Thats not how embassies work. Embassies aren’t a ‘you get out of jail free’ card. Hitler or Putin couldn’t just hide at an embassy and thats it.
Itt works in a way, that one state offers a second one a piece of land under its protection. That piece of land belongs to the second state as long as the first state allows it. If they want to claim it back, they have to go through a formal process.
Thats why the actions of Ecuador are unheard of: they offered Mexico a piece of their land under their protection. And then they violated it.
Israel attacked an embassy of Iran under Syria’s protection. Thats not off the limits but of course can be seen as an attack from both countries.

The West is exposed as full of shit M.B.A.s that will sell thier families for anything above market value.
