Who is "we"? Who is the boogyman and who are the potential victims?

That's the beauty of it, it doesn't matter who the boogeyman is and who the victim is.

Would you tell Palestinians to stop working on 'killy stuff' for moral/ethical reasons?

No. But I would tell anyone involved in a genocide to. In my opinion that now includes the US and UK.

Others will have different opinions, obviously, but this is mine.

Great, that is not an uncommon stance. Respectable in my opinion.

Now, cutting friends and family off over something this just means you do not want to tolerate people with differing views and opinions on this.

It's more about the side you are on rather than some abstract moral argument against working for companies tangentially related to the defense sector.

"defense" sector. Listen to yourself.
Yes, that’s how language works.

But feel free to petition literally all countries to remove words like defense or security from the names of their militaries.

Ask Ukraine.
