Israel would literally cease to exist if it got in a war with France. Israel isn't going to war with fucking NATO
France shooting down Netanyahu would be the end of NATO immediately. There would be no war with NATO because NATO wouldn’t exist anymore.
A European nation assassinating Netanyahu would immediately plunge the entire Middle East into massive war, destroy the global market, and likely draw the US into war in Europe.
You think the population of the US would want to go to war with France over the leader of a genocidal pariah state being downed legally?
What's the support for the war with Iran again?
And just like your second example, public support wouldn’t matter in the slightest. We’re literally at war with Iran right now with basically nobody supporting it.
But France would have no allies even in Europe if they assassinated a Western leader like Netanyahu. They’d be a global pariah for plunging the world into a depression that would make the Great Depression look like child’s play.
I dunno if you've been paying attention, but that's already happening because America is doing what Israel wants. If anyone stepped up to stop America or Israel in the slightest, we would avoid catastrophic depression.
It's not an "assassination", dumbass.
It literally is an assassination.
It literally isn't, dumbass.
Not sure what else you would call killing the prime minister of a nation that you’re not at war with.
Legally enforcing your airspace is not an assassination and you know it, stop being deliberately obtuse.
Shooting down a civilian aircraft with a work leader on it would absolutely be an assassination.
No it wouldn't, and you know it
Yes it absolutely would lmao. No European country is at war with Israel. Every European country recognizes Israel as a sovereign nation.
It would be an assassination and an act of war.
I'm genuinely curious what you think the relevance of this is.
Given that you're so stupid you think a country enforcing their air space is both assassination and an act of war, I'm assuming your answer is going to be more nonsense though
What’s the relevance of one nation killing the leader of another nation that they internationally recognize as a sovereign nation?
Shooting down an aircraft is far beyond standard airspace enforcement. Standard airspace enforcement would be to send fighter jets to escort the violating aircraft out of the airspace without conflict.
Shooting down an aircraft would absolutely be an act of war.
Which you've already said they can't do because the plane could just ignore them. What do you think is the next step when a violating plane ignores the fighters?
Escorting isn’t “leave now” it’s “flank and follow”. They would have fighter jets flanking the aircraft through the airspace.
You know, deliberately being obtuse and playing dumb isn't as clever as you seem to think
How did we go from the mandated air denial by international law to shooting down an aircraft?
What’s your proposed response when said aircraft doesn’t follow your air denial and enters your airspace anyway?
There’s only two options. You either send fighters up and follow them until they leave, or you enforce said denial and shoot the aircraft down.
Then at least do that.
But they won't even do that.
