But they are calling them out on it! Or some of them are, at any rate. The Security Council condemned the action and called for an end to the blockade, and the US didn't veto it (!), even if they themselves didn't call for an end to the blockade (they did say it should be lessened). And the EU might actually do something this time, etc. Many many governments have said things already. People ARE. No consequences yet--well, the US thing counts as a consequence. And the one they can't fix--the bad PR. Can't fix it. That's a consequence--and a bad one. The Turkey relations (the one Muslim ally) will go sour. Etc.
