To feel sorry for Ed Sheeran.....

Well done, I'm sure the people starving in Gaza will be crying tears of gratitude that you wasted perfectly good food. You truly are A Better Person than the rest of us, especially those monsters who are being complicit in genocide by taking life-saving medication.

It's a matter of principle and I was furious with myself, as was my daughter, for not checking the label more carefully. We generally don't throw food but I have no problem with the supermarket having to throw away unsold Israeli produce that's rotten on the shelves. Perhaps it will make them think twice about their suppliers.

God this is absolutely hilarious. Save Palestinians by throwing away mangos!!! How satisfying! This is beyond satire... thanks Oranges!

You're right. It is impossible to boycott everything from Israel totally. We can all do our bit though but sometimes things do get under the radar, especially when they are purposefully mislabeled to avoid the boycott. Recently I bought some mangoes from Brazil. A few days later I went and bought what I thought were the same mangoes but when I got home my daughter pointed out they were produce of Israel. Straight in the bin which was pointless as I had already paid the money but as a matter of principle, there is no way anyone in my family or even friends would eat such a thing. People might argue it is performative and will have no effect on the Israeli economy but it is a personal choice and gives me peace of mind. I also get an incredible feeling of satisfaction when I see someone else pick up an avocado, look at the label and then immediately put it down to go looking for the Peruvian ones. It may have no consequence on the Israeli economy but it is another small way to send the message.

What principle is that? Wasting food? You had already touched the thing Israeli hands had touched, what difference would it have made to eat it? Is it a fear of contamination? Completely perplexed by this.

It's not the fact it has touched Israeli hands, it is the fact that it comes from stolen land and the profits would go to support a brutally oppressive regime. I've never claimed to be a radical BDSer but if there is an alternative product that does the same job, I'll always choose that.

So you can't eat something touched by Israeli hands but you can use tech made by Israeli hands. You've already explained its not the money that's the issue as you had paid for the mangoes. Please explain as Im sure you're thinking will be helpful for the many trying to navigate how to boycott without boycotting in order to free Palestine.

I have no intention of changing any of my meds. Thanks all the same. And you should probably ask if there's a phone or computer which doesn't have parts or chips made in Israel.

None of your business. As I said, it is impossible to boycott everything.

What phone are you using?

My statins and another medication I'm on are made by Teva an Israeli pharmaceutical company. I suppose this makes me "complicit" in "genocide."

If they're going to do it properly they should die for Palestine by coming off their meds.

Boycott Israel - A Simple Boycott List https://share.google/BfJ5NRsSNrnCLYleT
A complete list of everything you have to boycott if you're going to stay true to your principles. Some of them might involve never using a computer or an android phone. They say to keep taking your meds though even if they're made in Israel. Lol.
