I would agree with some of the point you raise: no clear moral superiority of some of the people they are against.
Do recall that that Israel has followed a policy of assassination based on political disagreement. People have been assassinated for their speech and opinion.
- simonh 9y agoThat is reprehensible. The fact that Israeli civilians are routinely murdered for being Israeli, and that doing that is considered the primary tool of policy by one side in the conflict, is also reprehensible. On a specific issue such as a particular crime or incident I don't believe whataboutist rhetoric is justifiable. In fact it appalls me. But I'm not going to boycott Israel on the basis of a moral argument for their behaviour in a conflict without also hearing why we're not also boycotting the other side too. There are several sides in that conflict. If we want to understand and address it, that needs to be done with the blinkers off.
