Knowing what we know about how shameless their government is about killing unarmed civilians, why on earth would any ethical human being support them?

I'm not making a whataboutist point, it's just that if you're picking a side you have to look at more than just one of them. So absolutely soldiers should be held accountable for their treatment of captives, and e.g. Israeli soldiers have been jailed for assaulting prisoners, but I don't see many Palestinians being jailed by their own administrative authority for killing Israeli civilians.
Neither side should be above criticism, but when it comes to actively supporting one side or the other you have to look at the record of both.
And the occupation can not end because so many want to keep the settlements expanding.
Do recall that that Israel has followed a policy of assassination based on political disagreement. People have been assassinated for their speech and opinion.
On a specific issue such as a particular crime or incident I don't believe whataboutist rhetoric is justifiable. In fact it appalls me. But I'm not going to boycott Israel on the basis of a moral argument for their behaviour in a conflict without also hearing why we're not also boycotting the other side too. There are several sides in that conflict. If we want to understand and address it, that needs to be done with the blinkers off.
Wouldn't surprise me if there are some cultural shibboleths in the challenge as well.
option 2) you take the high ground. Someone else takes the job. Bad things happen in the world and you don't end up richer.
What did we accomplish today?
