Armed conflict is not a sports game.

You don’t need to pick a side.

You can also oppose one government without supporting the government that declares war on said government.

You can also, and I know this is a big stretch, oppose a third government in the conflict!

You can declare solidarity with all the people in the region who aren’t murdering thieving assholes.

You can call for mitigating a bad situation without that being a declaration of support for the whole mess.

Support for an economic system does not obligate you to support every murdering thieving asshole who stuck that label on their autocratic government.

The only political stance that deserves unwavering adherence is the universal application of human rights, requiring opposition to genocide no matter who the victims and aggressors are.
