It’s not a big deal, they are our ally

It’s his Russian ties that are problematic

The genocide is fine as long as it's not being done by our allies? How bold of you.

You’re an idiot

We don’t have alliances to break with countries who aren’t our allies

So what makes a genocide good or bad is our ability to break our alliance with them?

Why not just say that genocides are bad, no matter who does them, and that we should endeavour to sanction genocidal regimes, no matter who they are?

I’m not defending genocide

I’m saying us trading with allies isn’t a problem

And if you have a problem with an ally to the point where you think we shouldn’t trade with them then you should re-evaluate the alliance

By all means, petition your MP to abandon Israel and prop up Iran
