What if some of those merchant sailors (who are often so poor they can’t even afford to leave port) are Palestinians? Is it okay to kill those Palestinians?
of course not. but its very disingenious to start caring about palestinians when trade routes are disrupted but not when millions of them are getting killed or displaced.
And neither will this. In fact this just works against stopping it because it’s helping Israel’s allies sell the whole brown person bad line. It sucks but the proven way to stop a genocide is political pressure on those allies, a BDS movement, and international intervention at the location. Not hundreds of miles away and indiscriminately.

We already cared about Palestinians. It’s not a mutually exclusive position.

No they’re just making it worse.
