Sanction the Hell out of Israel

Some policy proposals have only lengthy, complex arguments in their favour. This one ie easy.
What Israel has done to Gaza is worse than what Russia has done to Ukraine. If you can’t acknowledge this than it is time to acknowledge that your internal biases might be getting in the way of your ability to perceive obvious facts.
Russia has had the hell sanctioned out of it for what it is doing to Ukraine. And rightly so.
Yes, the two situations are not precisely the same. News flash: no two conflicts ever are. The salient point here is the amount of civilian suffering being imposed, and how the Gazans are indisputably suffering far more than the Ukrainians are.
The conclusion seems inescapable to me. Fairness and proportionality say that it is time to sanction the hell out of Israel.
