How many other dwarf planets do you suspect are in our solar system that we haven't detected yet? Are we talking about hundreds? Thousands?

I can see, given you refer to "jews are good at marketing" and equate all Jews with Israel, that you are not really interested in a nuanced point of view, but I'm a sucker for something like this.

It's more complicated than that. For a long time, Turkey was the only predominantly Muslim state that had normalized relations with Israel. I feel like rather than being done for money, their reluctance to acknowledge the genocide was due to geopolitical realities.

State actors always have a choice between a moral imperative and strategic considerations. That, unfortunately, is life. What is also true is that Israel is a modern liberal democracy, and there are many voices that disagree with the government.

The US took the opposite position than Israel, despite being NATO partners with Turkey, but then again the US had much less to lose than Israel does. Plus I don't think that the pro-Israel lobby is going waste political capital and rare face time with State Department officials on this subject of all things.

It is going to be moot eventually.
