    With who? The democratically elected Western governments have come out entirely on Israel’s side.

    And I wouldn’t make the ‘principled’ position argument if I were you; Western governments are literally on the side of a country that’s just bombed a school (the fifth by now I think); although sadly given our country and NATO bomb infrastructure as a matter of course, perhaps Western governments do support the mass murder of global South civilians out of principle (they certainly defended it for the last 10 months).

    And I’m going to be completely honest with you: I don’t care what their principles are; if someone decides to seek profit and power by standing with the oppressed, more power to them; the planet certainly has leagues more of the people who’d stand with oppressors in the interest of profit, power and standing in firm alliance with fellow Western/white powers even when they’re engaged in horrific crimes.
