Any thought of real sanctions against Israel is not just purely hypothetical, but it would be based on various muslim and Persian groups behaving very differently than they do now, and would be years or decades down the road.All true.In theory or in reality? In theory, sanctions could be applied that probably could change some behavior. But in fact, that's not going to happen because the US will never allow it.Does anyone really think the UN can force Israel to do anything?
What may happen is the US may allow the UN to recognize a "state" of Israel. After that, it's maybe possible that IF the Palestinians (and Iran and even the sunni states) satisfy some of Israel's very real and legitimate concerns about stuff like Hamas running the place, then if Israel would still refuse the establishment of a Palestinian state, some future potus might not block the UN from sanctioning Israel.
Of course, any consideration of sanctions must include Israel's realistic reactions - in contrast to the intended reactions - to same.
43 rolled back almost 300 million in aid to Israel, so years is wrong.
