Well they could hardly be less critical could they?

Schoof’s hard right government has only been in power since June, and though they’ve voiced explicit support for Israel they have called for a ceasefire and urged Bibi to allow humanitarian aid to Gaza. So in that way, yes, they could have chosen not to call for a ceasefire or humanitarian aid at all.

The context for that is a genocide case at the ICJ, which is at the same stage of ajudication as the case against Myanmar, for which all sorts of sanctions have been implemented…

I’m certainly not disputing that western governments have more leverage over some countries than others.

Israel escalated extensively over the past few weeks. The goal is a war with Iran, not fought by Israel, but by its western allies.

Devastating attacks on Lebanon, extended attacks on Syria, Iraq, Yemen, terrorist attacks in Iran, another step up in the slaughter in Gaza and a new escalation to massacres in the Westbank.

The West needs to decide. Put an end to this fascist total war madness, or risk escalating to WW3, possibly sending their own youth to die in a war, where they don’t even get to enjoy the spoils.
