Is the Philippines playing both sides between Israel and Palestine?
Aren't we all playing both sides? The Middle East has been a puzzle for 6,000 years.
To be fair, Israel is the only Middle Eastern country Filipinos can enter without a visa.
Can't they condemn certain actions of a government without cancelling the whole country?
The wave of frenzied antisemitism in the West will pass, but business will stay. Israel is a partner of the Philippines. Filipinos have zero reason to oppose Israel. On the other hand, there's nothing to gain from friendship with Palestine; Palestinians have even killed Filipinos. For example, Israel supplied weapons (tanks) to the Philippines. What can the Palestinians supply?
No, they're purely on Israel's side, because they can be bought and have been, just like the US.
The Philippines and Uganda are the two big players in resolving this conflict.
