App to boycott Israeli goods

[Everexpanding]

the “No Thanks” app, which first appeared almost two years ago carrying a large list of companies and brands consumers might consider boycotting because of Israeli links.
The app has become a key tool for the BDS movement that targets Israel economically for the actions of its government and its military in Gaza.
Along with a list of companies and brands to boycott, the app allows users to scan barcodes to find out more about the relationship particular products have with Israel.

Interesting article in The New Humanitarian, given what we were just talking about re genocide/genocide denial.

Christian Aid, the faith-based anti-poverty charity headquartered in the UK, has instructed its staff not to refer to Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocide, according to internal documents and communications reviewed by The New Humanitarian.

“Christian Aid is a genocide denier,” one staff member said during an 18 September meeting about the organisation’s lack of response to the UN inquiry.
(sounding a bit like Dr Prune on MN).

“We could have been one of the first organisations after Amnesty and Human Rights Watch to have come out and said this,” another staff member said, referring to the genocide label. “Instead, we’ll probably be one of the last.”
(like it's a race).

A Christian Aid spokesperson rejected the allegation of genocide denial.
“Christian Aid is an international humanitarian and development charity, not experts in international law,” the spokesperson said. “We therefore actively acknowledge the legal judgements made by experts with regards to both ‘apartheid’ and ‘genocide’. We also actively acknowledge what the United Nations commission of inquiry said last week, but we are not an organisation that is set up with the legal expertise to make that determination for ourselves.”

@Twiglets1 very sensible. Does it stop them getting on with their himanitarian work? I doubt it.

Well done Italy!!!

More calls for Israel to stop

❤️🇮🇹❤️🇮🇹❤️🇮🇹❤️

Maybe Meloni is finally starting to realise the sentiments of the Italian population!

It also must be remembered that Italy has borne the brunt of rescuing people trying to flee warzones since the "War on Terror" was unleashed in West Asia and North Africa.

And Spain !

Now they can keep watch on shenanigans by Israel

Very moving speech there by King Felipe who also honours the work and ethics of the UN

Mary Robinson: You asked me what I’d like to say to President Trump. I’d like to be able to tell him what it felt to be like at the border with Helen Clark and to know that there were two million people on one side desperately needing the food and the medicines sent in and then sent back, 70 per cent of them coming back for no reason. It is a human-induced famine. Children are dying of malnutrition and he is largely responsible because he’s supporting Prime Minister Netanyahu. So the United States is complicit in this famine and unfolding genocide, and it’s on his watch.

Go on Mary Robinson 💪

He and his administration are 100% complicit. They won't be forgiven, thankfully increasingly by many Americans including Republican voters.

He can sell Tik Tok and "rewrite" the algorithm, but that won't erase what people have seen live in 4k. As soon as his donors are no longer able to control the narrative they'll all be held accountable.

It’s a slow handclap, or a slow hand clap. Not a slow, hand, clap. an “eats, shoots and leaves” thing.

I’d have asked for your post to be deleted too, just for that.

I was using the comma as a pause, not for grammar purposes.

Here's one for you for your pendantry . . .

Slow. Hand. Clap.

Spain is also sending one.

Brilliant. I hope we (UK) stand up and do the same

It wasn't targeted by drones. It was their own flares they were fiddling with, there was actual footage of it.

I watched that interview, she was brilliant!

An absolute legend of a woman!

Amazing news

Current Location of the flotilla of 52 vessels
( the purple boat if you can see it is legal support )
Taking no chances this time

Yes I saw Mary Robinson say this too. She was brave and clear.

This is crazy!

Sorry - if Italy is doing this- why is it not voting to relook at the EU - Israel association if they are so concerned about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza? Maybe they will now?

Just seems likely to provoke Netanyahu- and who knows how his government and Trump will respond! I can’t imagine they will let the ships dock. Would be humiliating.

Greek Navy to guarantee safe passage of the flotilla in Greek waters too!
