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.

So if you can’t compare it to any other genocide, what can you compare it to?

October 7th was horrendous. But it doesn’t excuse what’s happening now.

Turkey, Qatar, South Africa, Iran (Russia-again, the trouble making little scamps). Happy to cheer on Palestinian statehood, not under hamas & pij they have no love for Palestinians, only hatred for Israel and Jews.Mahmoud Abbas has a challenge on his hands, he's pretty good for an 89 yr old though.

The troubles weren't genocide. What on earth are you on about.

Thanks for linking Ultra
I have no idea how 😆

The Flotilla is bringing further awareness as Dockworkers across Europe make initial plans to block the transport of weapons for use by Israel

Exactly. Not even a retaliatory bombing. Nothing.

The UK doubled down on a peace process. Which is what Netanyahu should have done.

Bravo. Co ordinated action is what’s needed

The issue of genocide is a complete red herring here. As is the Warrington bombing. And I don't think you understood my point.

You are seriously suggesting Netanyahu should have responded to 7 October by doubling down on a peace process? Who was he going to negotiate with. Where were the signs from the other side that there was anything to negotiate about?To put it more diplomatically than the suggestion deserves, that is the most unrealistic thing I've read on here for a long time.

The UK government could have chosen to abandon the peace process and bomb the heck out of Northern Ireland after children and innocent civilians were killed. Instead they practiced restraint and did the right thing in stepping up talks in the peace process.

Netanyahu was advised to practice restraint. He chose not to.

Nothing you say justifies Netanyahu's response to October 7th.

Nothing justifies genocide.

Yes Netanyahu should have progressed a solution. Not carried on committing mass murder.

Nothing justifies genocide. Nothing justifies bombing children.
There is no justification for what Hamas did and there is no justification for Netanyahu doing the same x100.

You are right, but the plan has always been to "take" Palestine by any means necessary since it was concocted in the late 1880s, so there will never be any restraint from the Israeli side. In previous conflicts at least American presidents had the balls to "encourage" Israel to be restrained or stop them before they went too far.

Here is a tweet from Ori Goldberg about Netanyahu's speech, a Jewish man currently living in Israel who is increasingly alarmed by what is going on:

"Netanyahu's speech, arrogant and detached as it was (the emperor of the moon ordering the sun not to shine), has reopened a solipsistic spectrum for "pragmatic" Israeli "liberals". They want to make sure "innocents" are not killed in Gaza (where were they for two years of "collateral damage"?)! They have been kidnapped by "messianic madmen"! They hate their government! They want "practical" solutions. More than anything, they are searching for "moderate" Palestinians (as moderate as these Israelis are, of course) who, alas, have yet to be found (thus justifying the continuing "war").

These are despicable people, worst than the radical racists. Their celebration of their own "pragmatism" reveals them as the cowardly "lions" (of course the supported the "war" with Iran, officially called "Rising Lion" in Israel! They are not "suicidal pacifists) they are. They support the genocide. They (discretely) applaud Netanyahu for telling it like it is. They want to decide which Palestinians are "innocent". They want plaudits for practicality and impunity for their implausible crimes. Don't be fooled.

Spain sent a ship full of weapons to “support” the flotillas. Interestingly the day after they too declared that they would boycott all Israeli arms/goods etc. The ship is full of weapons made and manufactured in Israel. The ship is full of Israeli weapons. Then they declared a boycott.

The arms manufacturers and dealers are the one's rubbing their hands together and benefiting in financial billions from all this. They love war, conflict, genocide. Faceless millionaires hiding in plain sight. These are the real warmongerers. I wouldn't be surprised if they stoke every single slight conflict into war in order to keep their businesses alive and thriving. They have no interest in resolution or peace.

I bet they are more involved in creating and sustaining all the worlds wars in more indirect ways than any of us will ever know.

Make up your mind. I thought it was all Netanyahu's doing!

I'm talking about all conflict here. That's very clear to most.

Of verified deaths, nearly 70% of them are women and children.

No source supports the claim that most of the 65,000 are combatants.

Isn't Israel/Gaza included in 'all conflict' or are you exceptionalising that conflict as different to all other conflict?

The number on that placard would now be 20,000.

It's so shocking and horrific.

Every day there are more horrific stories coming to light.

A few days ago Australian news reported that Australian nurses volunteering in Gaza had needed to deliver a baby from a beheaded woman.

I can't even imagine how people are feeling trapped in Gaza with no escape.

The Quakers have some good resources and advice here:

A squirrel? You are comparing 150,00 deaths in Yemen to a squirrel. It is beyond words.

I'll try again, this isn't a squirrel or whataboutery as your pals call it, it is a conflict very near and similar to this current one.

How many Yemen/Saudi threads did you post on? Why does this one infuriate you more than others and yes yes we contributed arms to Saudi too, so we were as 'complicit' there. What is the difference.. <we all know the answer>

We know hamas' pr has been very good, is that what it boils down?! All that Yemen needed was some tabloid style reporting to get Greta flotillas and keffiyeh wearing docs and placard wavers.

'I can't even imagine how people are feeling trapped in Gaza with no escape'

I know but hopefully the hostages will be released soon. The poor families, it is just horrific what they've endured.

It’s irrelevant on this thread though which is about Boycotting Israel !

so many comments about other conflicts on this thread and still none of you have started your own threads to discuss them. That suggests you aren’t that interested in those other than to derail this one .

So squirrel it is then

I agree. It's awful. They have no chance with Netanyahu bombing continuously though. I wouldn't want him on my side that's for sure.

Keep up the good work everyone.

Let's hope this genocide is stopped as soon as possible and all those guilty of war crimes imprisoned.

I wouldn't want Hamas on my side that's for sure.
