For those puzzled about why so many nations are "blindly" following US on Israel
They're not blind; they're just US client states (see partial list ⬇️)
Under threat of being sued, typically via US corps, for behaviour that "conflicts with their trade agreements", client states do as they're told.
US "agreements" typically enable client states to be bankrupted at will.
