No, again you’re conflating moral and ethical valuations with a
problem concerning amoral relations of power. Are you just playing dumb?

And then deftly dismissing the problem of the Palestinian diaspora
which is where this thread started:

The question for me concerns whether humanity is in control of its

Do amoral practical necessities of national survival and growth
govern our way of life and constrain ours and our leaders choices for
moral action? What about you Pete, if it came down to chronic fuel
shortages, an economic depression, global war and the survival of
your family would you vote for fascism? Would you vote for military
control of the Persian Gulf to sustain your way of life?
Cheers,
