We can still be upset and outraged when a non-western aligned force commits atrocities. Sadness should not be dependent on who’s allied to whom. It seems rather isolationist to set our outrage to whatever the the UK and its allies does and refuse to care otherwise. I think it’s better to find a solution that can lead to more likely peace. It’s not about ‘sides’, it’s about finding a workable solution and just focussing on Israel (and vice versa) will solve nothing. UK stops giving the very little military aid provides and peace won’t happen. We cease our alliance and nothing will change. Israel stops and nothing will happen if nothing with Iran and its proxies changes. Israel removes Netanyahu and becoming more liberal will do little if Hamas and ‘resistance’ continues because there is a refusal to even entertain the existence of Israel in this scenario. It may suit some to say we’re not supporting Israel, if we were to abandon, but there would still be pain on both sides and it would still be horrible.
Myopia and tunnel visioning on the ‘evil west’ just leads to bias and excusing of whatever the non-western aligned side does, even when it’s important to the issue. It’s not about finding a solution, it’s about attacking whatever the ‘evil west’ does.
