Any UN-wide military intervention would require some consensus from at least some of the major powers on the security council, but Israel is being shielded by powers such as US and Germany so nothing will happen at UN level, especially when those two countries are known for applying sanctions on people and countries who are boycotting Israel and aiding Palestine.
There are a few countries very vocal against what Israel is doing, but obviously none of them will go as far to send troops to that region by themselves, which is understandable for multiple reasons, especially given the already elevated economic and geopolitical challenges around the world right now.
Israel has made clear that its goal is complete ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people, and maybe even larger parts of the Middle East, because it was promised to them by God. If you're a person who can listen to Israeli officials' public statements about what they wish to do and deny this, the fact that they're continuing to move in Gaza is not going to convince you.
The West Bank wasn't even involved, and it's currently being invaded - and monitored desperately by propagandists for an excuse to start the eradication there, too.
We're not only not going to stop it, we're not going to stop paying for it. We're the jihadis.
Jewish people != Jewish religion's practitioners != all Zionists != Israeli right-wing genocides
These are all different categories. The Venn diagrams overlap between them, generating several intersections, but they don't form a single unified category with merely different names.
I don't think this is actually true. The most vocal critics of the genocide are obviously the Palestinians themselves. I think it's worth centering the voices of those being murdered. It's sort of like saying not all 1943 Germans support Hitler. Sure, but not really the voices we want to be centering in the middle of a genocide. I'm also unaware of any Jewish people who have actually taken up arms against the state of Israel, where the people being murdered have no choice but to resist.
This will get locked faster than you can say "infidel".
Remember the rule of thumb. "If it's covered on TV news, then it's probably off-topic"

On-Topic: “Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups.”
Off-Topic: “Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they’re evidence of some interesting new phenomenon.”

When these ‘universal’ traditions unsettle, especially when the god is excised but the specious universality retained, the Jews are the universal problem. Surely they violate the universality first forged by destroying their particularity! - which irksomely seems still to exist. (Though the number of ways of denying this too are as many as there are metaphysical systems)
Thus eg I might literally self-imolate in America in a no-effect, merely expressive, celebration of jewkilling on a remote continent. Whence this possibility? The prior universal monotheism and its discontents. Apart from this it would obviously be physically and psychologically impossible. It is the effect of the universal converting world religions organized around the stolen god.
Europe has no native "Diasporic" Middlemen Minorities, at least not compared to China or India.
It's possible that the Greeks and Phoenicians could have acted as this at one point, but they have no need to. There's nothing to violently uproot them from where they are currently. As an example, even the Scots did this in Poland for a while.
The Romans sacked the Second Temple, forcing the native Judeans to leave their nation in droves.
Usually, a Diasporic merchant class is often found in far away regions, wherein a well educated, immigrant people (Such as the Chinese or Indians) would act as "market dominant minorities" (named by sociologists) which would often fulfill a vital need in areas which have little amounts of merchants (Indonesia and SEA, Africa, etc).
The issue therein is that local people will almost always be tense against this new mercantile class, including the native Elites and Elite Aspirants which have much to gain (See Indonesian Ethno-nationalist Backlash against the Chinese, African violence against the Indian "tribe", The Atrocities of WWII, etc.)
