This you?
If youβre working for a western arms manufacturer you can be pretty certain your products will end up in Israel too.
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.
So what you mean is "If you're working for a major Western company, period, you're in the wrong." Since the list of Western companies that don't do business with Israel is very small.
No, that's not what I mean, and I'd appreciate you not putting words in my mouth. There is a material difference between providing Israel with military equipment and with some random consumer product that is just distributed everywhere. Sure, I'd argue it's still wrong to do the latter, but it's still a huge difference.
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 stayed right there.
Why would that matter? 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.

Not only is vegetable like that, but "fruit" is like that too. Notably, apples and strawberries are not botanical fruits, each little "seed" on the strawberry is the fruit, and the section of core around each apple seed.
