    because it disrupts non-Israeli trade

    so, just to set a baseline here, are we agreed that

    • what israel is doing is bad
    • stopping israel from doing what they’re doing is good
    • stopping israeli trade might stop what they’re doing
    • therefore stopping israel from trading is good

    given that trade is definitionally between two separate parties, one of the countries in the equation has to not be israel

    how can you stop israel from trading without impacting other countries?

    tldr: the sanctions on russia also have an impact on global trade, so if this is your redline, you should be anti-sanctions

    I’m sorry that the words ‘attack’ and ‘war crime’ mean nothing to you.

    are you saying the blockade is different to sanctions because russia attacked ukraine and is committing war crimes?

    i’m not sure if you’ve paid attention to things in israel recently

      A desperate backtrack after giving up the game. Sorry that “Let’s hurt trade between everyone we can, not just those trading with Israel” isn’t what most people would regard as just.

      Brush up on your English.
