any Western prole that is ready to throw any/all Israelis into a pit needs to throw themselves in that same pit. Every nation is a battle of working class versus ruling class - the inclination to have higher standards for the nations closer to the genocide(s) is a psychological defense mechanism which aims to absolve those passively watching history unfold.
Similar to how liberals are quick to criticize anti-imperislist nations in lieu of holding their own governments to a humanitarian standard - it is a form of liberalism to deflect the responsibility of organizing within your own western-aligned nation just because vassals of the empire (which you fund via taxes) are the direct perpetrators.
The argument operates in an idealist realm where the average person is aligned with the ruling class.
The surveillance largely serves to buttress property rights rather than public safety. Further, many technically "illegal" activities are entirely legitimate until the working class is liberated - so resisting the state's ability to deploy mass surveillance is simply part of the class struggle.
Will this convince a bootlicker? No. Yet, this is why the argument is misleading/false.
100% correct
