      No, I fucking wouldn’t. I’d call for domestic resistance. I’d call for economic sanctions. I’d call for military intervention. I’d call for all the same things that have been called for both in this case and in the Ukraine invasion. I’d call for all the tools of pressure to make diplomacy the most appealing option.

      Besides, that’s a false equivalency anyway: Hitler wasn’t included in any UN talks either. That didn’t stop him, so why do you think shutting out Netanyahu would do so?

      The whole international situation was fundamentally different and incomparable. Most obviously, there was no UN. There also wasn’t any firm set of alliances that would have issued sanctions or brought a stronger military response once war did break out.

      Hitler was ignored, that’s why he wasn’t stopped.

      On the other hand, Hitler didn’t have a nuclear power backing him up and forestalling any military response. He also had no “fuck everyone’s shit up, because mine is lost anyway” options left.

      Netanyahu is protected, that’s why he isn’t being stopped.

      The UN is an attempt to offer diplomacy as a resort because it’s better than whatever other last resort they might come up with.
