This is nothing but a "financially wise" move because Israel as a colonial project won't be viable in the near future and Western leaders and capitalists are painfully catching up to this reality. It's not a moral move, barely constitutes "virtue signaling", and not indicative of a major ideological revolution in the West. It's important to remember this so people aren't confused, nor surprised when different victims of Western amoral, inhuman profit-seeking start appearing (probably just those at home TBF, Western powers are becoming increasingly comparatively weaker to bully and pillage the rest of the world as efficiently).

And I don't doubt there are more MAGAs and Tommy Robinsons in the West than Gretas and Palestine Action folks so it's not like the people are mostly on the right side of history but are just victims of (democratically elected btw) inhuman leaders...

That's right, they shouldn't try to reverse course now. They should probably double down on Zionism and send more weapons to Israel and fully recognize Israeli ownership of all Palestinian territories.

You know what, they should probably send troops to participate in the genocide. Everyone knows if you're wrong you can never stop being wrong or make make things right. You might as well lean in to whatever shitty thing you started with.

Yeah, that's what I said... What an emotional and irrational response, lol. No, you and everyone else should condemn Zionism, Israel and all imperialistic Western geopolitical moves in earnest, and you should also never forget that even in the recent Israeli-American attacks on Iran the Brits were providing actual military support, for instance, and that your representatives aren't just doing a 180 because they found God and believe in righteousness, lol. Reality is forcing their hand, and thank God for that because they don't believe in doing the right thing, they never did and still don't!

Fighting windmills and burying your head in the sand will only make the cognitive dissonance worse, but you do you, I guess.
