Everyone does it so I can too?

You have to start somewhere. But yes, let’s also cut off all the others you mentioned.

>You have to start somewhere

Then start with yourself. I'm not condoning Israel's actions but punishing them for what we still do is tyranny.

We can start with ourselves by not sending military aid to Israel.

Which doesn't necessarily prevent any journalist deaths, while we send many Yemeni journalists one step closer to starvation.

We can also stop selling arms to the Saudis and running logistics for them. That would save a lot of Yemenis from starvation.

I get what you're trying to say, but specifically it's the US ongoing blockade putting their food supplies at risk, and more generally you are still punishing other countries for actions we engage in regularly. Start by prosecuting the CIA that plotted assassinating Assange.
