  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.

  I’ll be sure to tell the janitor.

  It’s like you don’t even understand the core moral dilemma of being an engineer working for a military supplier.

  No, that’s not what I mean, and I’d appreciate you not putting words in my mouth.

  So this isn’t you?

  We were at “working for companies profiting from genocide is wrong” and we’ve started right there.

  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.

  Ah, of course, if you’re enabling the genocide through non-military means, it’s okay. I mean, it’s not like supplying Israel with goods frees up more of Israel’s resources for military production and action.

  I don’t know man. Even cell phones seem pretty dangerous in Israeli hands.
