    Neoliberals love sanctions. Leftists typically oppose suffering.

      Israel is a democracy, or so we have been told.

      Which means sanctions would motivate the voters to elect a new government that opposes genocide. Which is the result we want.

      Therefore, sanctions are justified because they would stop Israel’s genocide of Gaza by forcing Israeli voters to face the consequence of voting for genocidal fascists

        Why is everyone speaking in hypotheticals/theory? Sanctions have been used in the past. Has it achieved the desired result? If we don’t know, maybe start with that
