Zelensky demands from NATO the same protection that the Western military bloc provided to Israel.
“By defending Israel, the free world has demonstrated that such unity is not only possible, but completely effective. The decisive actions of the allies prevented the success of the terror and the loss of infrastructure and forced the aggressor to cool down.
The same is possible by protecting Ukraine from terrorism, a country that, like Israel, is not a member of NATO. And for this it is not necessary to activate article 5, just political will is enough.

The U.S. is calling on the UN security council to condemn Iran's retaliation for Israel bombing their embassy in Syria. The level of hypocrisy is breath-taking.
The U.S. called on the Security Council to condemn Iran’s attack on Israel on Saturday. Wood echoed U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who briefed the council during Sunday’s emergency session.
When Iran sought to condemn Israel for their unprovoked attack, the U.S. and its European allies blocked the security council from acting.
(Reuters) - The United States, Britain and France on Wednesday opposed a Russian-drafted U.N. Security Council statement that would have condemned an attack on Iran's embassy compound in Syria, which Tehran has blamed on Washington's ally Israel.
There is no question that Israel was responsible for the embassy strike. Yet we couldn't bring ourselves to give Iran even the most modest of courtesies by admitting this truth. What happened next is all on us.
(Reuters) - The "imperative for Iran" to retaliate for the attack on its embassy compound in Damascus might have been avoided had the U.N. Security Council condemned the strike, Tehran's mission to the United Nations said on Thursday.
"Had the UN Security Council condemned the Zionist regime’s reprehensible act of aggression on our diplomatic premises in Damascus and subsequently brought to justice its perpetrators, the imperative for Iran to punish this rogue regime might have been obviated," the mission said on the social media platform X.
That seems pretty clear to me.

This will work better for some countries than others:
Email your political representitives and remind them that their nation has obligations under the genocide convention to prevent and punish genocide.
You can usually find the emails for your countries representitives online. You can also email the person in your government that deals with international politics such as the Secretary of State.
Pair this reminder with policy proposals such as an arms embargo, national boycott, the use of diplomatic leverage, sanctions and so on. Whatever you can think of that might be useful, you can advocate for.
It gives you a chance to speak up and have your voice heard. You can do it more than once, and with more than one politician.
