    By supporting someone who has their blood on their hands and is fully supportive of the ongoing genocide. Pretty cold take, actually.

      And the alternative is more dead Palestineans.

      Believe it or not, the world is not as you wish it to be, it just is. And it’s for us to do as best we can for others given the real world constraints.

      As there are two options and one is worse for Palestineans, I support the one that is better for them.

      It’s not super complicated.

        You have to support 99% Hitler who wants to hand out cookies before committing mass slaughter because if you don’t you’re supporting 100% Hitler and no cookies, which would make one a monster.

        There are actually more options beyond those, if people would take them. It’s a self-fulfilling prophesy to say that other options aren’t viable. It’s better to try to fight against that than to be complicit in supporting it. If it’s impossible, then it would be better to boycott the system altogether. Under no circumstances is supporting genocide morally justified.
