You think it’s alright to work for a company supplying the Palestinian genocide as long as you’re not working on that specific product line? British aerospace is pretty directly involved there so I’d set my standards a little higher personally.

Okay, so we’ve moved from "Your products will end up in Israel" to "Your work will benefit a company that benefits from Israeli contracts"

You could’ve just said “yes, I think that’s where the ethical line is”, instead of linking logical fallacies wikipedia like a fourteen year old atheist.
We haven’t moved anywhere. We were at “working for companies profiting from genocide is wrong” and we’ve started right there.

This you?
Sorry that you can’t remember what you said a whole comment ago.
So what you mean is “If you’re working for a major Western company, period, you’re evil.” Since the list of Western companies that don’t do business with Israel is very small.

Yes, that’s me. Maybe the bit you’re missing is that if you work at a company, the company’s products are your products.
