It's a very simplistic and radical point of view that doesn't take into account the reality of the world we live in. It also doesn't take into account the intricacies of foreign politics and seems to assume that the gulf states are the only bad actors here. Finally "gulf states" is a catch-all so big that it's borderline funny. (What did Bahrain do?)

They make their money from oil, which we all buy.

You know being against slavery used to be considered radical, right?

If it’s so simplistic how about you explain why it’s so important for Saudi Arabia to perpetuate a genocide in order to acquire gold.

And how about you explain how it’s okay to be economically linked to that type of behavior by proxy. I’m assuming you have some kind of expertise in this subject matter as opposed to just vomiting up whatever the neoliberal talking head “experts” tell you to believe.
