Topic: Boycotting iSrAEl's product? think again. - page 7. (Read 1620 times)

So you're going to be just fine being neutral in all that is currently happening right now, while Israel is bombing hospitals that are full of children? What kind of bullshit logic is that? Supporting the one that has killed less? Did you think through what you're going to say regarding this issue because that's the most retarded logic that I have seen before, I don't think that it's even a utilitarian logic. You're saying that they're both terrorist group is because you are too stupid to check on the facts and too indifferent to care so you always try and make the safest play. You shouldn't be saying that you believe there are other ways to settle their differences because you sound hypocritical when you pair it with your previous statements. To answer your question on why to take sides, it's because there's still humanity out there that cares about this war ending unlike you who clearly doesn't have one.
Yeah it won't work unless a lot of people are going to do it, the point of boycotting is that you condemn the actions of that company by having a lot of people attack their product and damaging their stocks. Now if there's not a lot of people that are doing that then the boycotts will never work.

I think if on a small scale this boycott is less effective. Unfortunately they didn't think long and hard. I am happier with the help coming to civilians in the war than this way of boycotting. If Israel is in the wrong, why is it that with a boycott like this, shops selling basic necessities are also empty even though they are not directly involved in the war and they are also civilians.

The nature of the boycott is just an aspiration, but to cut off funding lines may not be significant, especially since there are so many goods that we need every day, but whatever the basic motive behind it, I myself condemn war, children and women are victims, of course it will be a sad story. continues to sound. However, someone must be able to start taking steps to stop it, especially since this is more complicated because many powerful countries support it. Hopefully the war will end soon and people can rebuild their lives

I think they are too obsessed with "Free Palestine" I don't mind, everyone definitely likes peace and really doesn't like war even for me. but from the word boycott of Israeli products, this is not entirely going well, they make some of the basic ingredients used every day harm, and I feel more sorry for the employees who work at that company, not all of them are Israeli, they are all over the world to earn money for their living. if this company closes. what about the fate of the employee?

This is politics on the next level, what people don't realize is the one to be condemned and boycotted who actually started this war.

We're all for anyone that's pro-peace but this is a complex status for both parties. Anyway, if you guys are happy in boycotting products or whatsoever, do it.

But it's not going to change any situation of the war that we're seeing with Israel and Palestine.

Agreed, boycotting is for the self satisfaction of the Palastine Supporters. Just on boycotting things doesn't change as the funding is taking place through different channels. It is really bad that no countries have intervened into the problem and trying to get into a conclusion. It is very clear, how bad the people are getting affected out of the war. What is even more painful is the small kids losing their lives and getting affected. What they know, they're just at their playful days and what is happening around is really painful.

I hate talking about this because I am a Muslim and I live in a Muslim majority country. There are many of these products on the market today and those who sell them are my Muslim brothers, and apart from that the company also employs many of my Muslim brothers. I'm confused, if I boycott there will be a lot of traders losing because the products or goods they sell won't sell and of course there will be large-scale termination of work contracts.

As when the McDonald was with them then people raise voice against the McDonald even but later they printed some board and put it near their offices or restaurant in our country where it was written that they are not with Israel then again people start to use McDonald Restaurants etc. As this is common thing in the people when they are seeing some disaster and a type of war they just go for the right country.

Same in the case that a war has been started between the Israel and Palestine and we see that both of the countries are in troubles while I think Palestine are in more trouble due to the attack by Israel. So, they should make the thinks clear.

Boycotting won't do shit if nations are still funding Israel in order to continue what their doing. No matter how many products of Israel gets low sales and low volumes, they still have their own defense companies that continue to supply armaments, ammos, and whatnot to other countries. The world is just continuing to 'condemn' what is happening in the Gaza Strip, but no one is ballsy enough to actually start something to stop what's happening on that side of the globe.

It is to provoke WW3. They do have the option to make Israel stop but they are even sending more ammo to Netanyahu. But you have to look at it like Iran is about to have nukes. Netanyahu has no option but to start doing this genocide and war to make more war and hit Iran because once Iran has enough warheads, Israel will also be wiped out. It's now or never for Israel.  

You as a homeowner in a village would rather have a good relationship with neighbors but Israel seems to have no good relationship with all his neighbors.

Seems like you're coming sentimental from there. There's no point in arguing that Israel is chosen by God, how do you even say that? A country that has been at war for decades? A country whose citizens are dying a thousand times? A country who can go on with their people suffering for their war? how do you even thought about Israel being a country chosen by God?

Boycotting impacts may be seen as early as now but they would definitely feel it once it sink in on their economy. Maybe not now, but not forever.

It's part of a protest against Israel, it's not a right thing to do I will agree on that, but that's how people voice out.

I don't know how serious the boycott is, but I can assume that it may be due to the fact that the owners or franchise owners of these brands in the country of Israel have been  bigger Zionist franchise investors.

From what I have come to understand despite the war crimes accusations and evidence of inhumane reaction to war provocations and claims, this Israel issue should be looked at from the perspective that it is supposed to provoke a third world war, that is if more countries get involved to start by rejection of their franchise goods or exports and imported goods and services too.

Israel attacked Gaza ?! Are you serious? 
Here is some FACT: "On October 7, 2023, the holiday of Simchat Torah, when Palestinian terrorist groups, of which Hamas is the largest, launched a large-scale invasion of Israel from the Gaza Strip, breaking the barrier between the Gaza Strip and Israel and infiltrating into nearby Israeli population centers and military installations. The invasion began in the early morning hours of October 7 with the launching of between 2,500 and 5,000 rockets into Israel from the Gaza Strip and the infiltration of more than 2,500 militants by land, sea and air into Israeli territory, including border kibbutzim and the city of Sderot. At least 1,400 Israelis were killed (including hundreds of music festival attendees). Civilians and soldiers were taken hostage, Israeli civilians were massacred, and there were incidents of sexual violence against Israeli women."

Your post assumes only 2 rationales: you are now here to put on a cheap Hamas propaganda show. Or were you born after October 7, 2023 ?  Question - which one did I guess ?

But I still can't get over the people who support Zionists and say that those who are holding out in Gaza and Palestine are just animals, just rats.
And those who are pro-Israel are just playing victim endlessly as if they are suffering.
Whereas their savage soldiers kill children, women, doctors, and journalists and even bomb hospitals and schools.
These are clearly unforgivable war crimes.

Are you sure about your statement?
Boycotts are not a good thing and don't work or have any effect?

Look at it now, the whole world is doing this boycott and you say it doesn't work.
Don't just look at it from a narrow perspective, you have to open your eyes widely to what the effect of the boycott really is.

Look at the impact of the boycott on stocks that support Israel, it's a highlight in my country and around the world.
Pro-Israel products have seen a drop in sales, the place is deserted and this is the effect of the boycott.

I don't really agree with this because however if in the end Hamas commits suicide it is still indiscriminate to civilians who do not have the energy and strength for war including the massacre of children and women or perhaps the destruction of hospitals and places of worship it is an act of war crimes. The problem is Hamas and Israel so that it should refer to it instead of blindly carrying out attacks on the grounds of self-defence from attacks by slaughtering thousands of lives it makes no sense.
On the other hand, when saying the majority of countries support Israel in this case I think you are wrong because seeing from the current situation with many demonstrations everywhere it indicates that we as humans still have a conscience by not expecting genocide like this. The top officials of the country who have the advantage only support this but not the majority of people in a country because in the end we also have to realise that this is not a war but they (Israel) are committing genocide under the pretext of fighting Hamas.  On the issue of boycotts this is just a way from some people to make those who support the start of weaponry and finances to buy weapons can be reduced but the pros and cons are bound to happen so things like this depend on how we react to it regardless of whether it agrees or not all have their own opinions

Applying a Boycott to companies based in the United States of America, while it is a valid form of protest, it would be very difficult to do and coordinate, since we would be talking about a huge conglomerate of brands, products and services who many people use in their daily life, without even noticing those are brands owned by shareholders in USA.
A national boycott would be easier in countries which are already under the pressure of sanctions, like Russia, Cuba or even Turkey, where sanctions have already pushed local businesses to thrive in order to replace those international brands which cannot longer operate in their jurisdiction. 

It would also take into consideration which brand have publicly stated their position on this conflict, by the way. Tho, I assume many of pro paslestinian protesters won't care, since all American companies pay for taxes.

You are right. Companies like McDonald's, Starbucks, etc. don't belong to Israel; instead, they are USA companies, but most of the Americans are boycotting them because the USA is also supporting Israel, and they are the ones who send ships full of food and weapons. Even I saw a video in which some protestors were trying to stop that massive ship from leaving.

This is all we can do at the moment to hurt their economy because they are earning a massive amount via these companies. I know we can't abandon all of their products, but we can at least try to leave some.

This boycott will also increase the growth of local products because those who have left the usage of these products are now using local products, which has increased sales, and in turn, the economy of the country is also increasing. I have seen many products that are not real, but still people are boycotting them because those products are from those countries that directly support Israel.

Recently, I often see actions boycotting products originating from Israel, so I ask myself.
1. Does the product all come from Israel or only some parts of the product?
If it is indeed a product from Israel, what evidence can be held accountable, perhaps the war between Palestine vs. Israel is made a scapegoat because of competition.
2. I see that 100% of those working at the product company are local people.
3. So I see again that this product is commonly used by the public, so what are the alternative products to use besides the product that OP said.
4. How much money is generated from the product tax, for Israel if it really comes from Israel.

In my opinion, to support Palestine, I think boycotting products will have little effect on Israel, on the contrary, the economy of the country where these products are distributed will be destroyed and there will also be a wave of dismissals and massive unemployment in that country.

Boycott is one of our supports for Palestine. Israel's attacks on Gaza have shown no signs of abating. This has encouraged the emergence of various social movements in various parts of the world as a form of sympathy for the victims. One form of solidarity action is in the form of boycotting or not buying products from companies suspected of being affiliated with Israel. A number of goods and services deemed to support the Israeli camp were targeted for boycotts. The boycott is not forever but can be stopped if Israel has implemented a ceasefire in Gaza.

It's not a good idea to boycott those products, actually, because those products are actually beneficial to the whole world. And then there are also many employees who are given factories too.

That means why would you boycott those products if in your own country the majority of people where you live are benefiting from them, including government officials and rich people all over the world?
