I'm not saying you're wrong, but what exactly can any of us do to help the average Palestinian? Would not supporting the John Deere strike somehow free up revolutionary resources that could be spent helping non-western workers?
Pointing out that the western left spends more time helping western workers who are massively privileged on a global scale is a completely banal and meaningless point. Building up a "western left" (which, let's be clear, does not fucking exist outside of fringe forums like this one) will require building leftist politics off the back of western issues, and the process of doing that will improve the lot of western workers before it improves the lot of anybody else.
