After the carnage yesterday in israel i belive we have a duty to boycot all goods from israel and travel to it.
over 2000 palestinians hurt and over 50 dead, from protesting and throwing stones and flares into land that was stolen from them.
They were met with snipers and metal balls.
Time for a full boycot, hope the European union finally makes a stand and doesnt think of themselves and mney as usual.
Itās hard, as there are issues on both sides to take into account. I am just so cross that this has set back any possibility of finding a resolution.
Can I assume that those who already boycott Israeli products also donāt buy anything made in Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt or China etc all of whom have appalling human rights records?
You dont see much fir sale from saudi arabia or turkey, but i do understand your thinkng.
The European union put sanctions on Russia over the crimea, but only only goods like cheese and movement of assetts they are more than happy to take 50-60% of their gas and oil off them. So we can expect them to sanction isreal.
We can hope that the EU will put sanctions on Israel but Iām not holding my breath yetā¦on a personal level itās fairly easy to not buy anything produced in Israelā¦Saudi Arabia we can look at Twitterā¦Fox Newsā¦Murdochā¦Coca-Colaā¦and write to MPs and withdraw support from any politician who agrees with or is getting kickbacks from arms deals to SAā¦(or who is not speaking out about the latest massacre in Gaza)ā¦then thereās G4S and Palantir to contend withā¦just off the top of my headā¦x
Yepā¦Hamas at the time was elected by some but not allā¦pretty much the same as most countries who get to voteā¦One of the most powerful military forces in the world such as Israel could have obliterated Hamas at any time but it doesnātā¦It leaves them there to have a boogeyman to point the finger at and obliterates the infrastructure and the innocent population of Gaza insteadā¦holds them captive in an open air prison comittimg genocide with impunityā¦
What, I was talking about the PLO now known as HAMAS, they are the ones doing much of the manipulating of the Palestinians, and creating much misery, which they couldnāt care less about, as long as it achieves their declared aim, of completely obliterating Israel.
Nothing is āblack and whiteā, hope that expression is still PC ! btw
The Gazans and the Palestinians in the West Bankā¦are an oppressed peopleā¦Gaza is under occupationā¦Israel is the occupier and as the occupier has commitments under the Geneva Conventionā¦what military capability does Hamas currently have that could be considered any threat whatsoever to the IDFā¦??? Phrases get lost in translationā¦threats to āwipe a country off the face of the earthā are nothing of the sort ā¦
That takes a lot of ālosing in translationā, Helen, smacks of āgenocideā to me, dosenāt even need translating, that is the āStated Aim Of Hamasā.
So tragic, many live peacefully together, until politicians get their āgrubby fingersā involved
Whatever Hamas may or may not have saidā¦How is genocide currently being committed against the Israeli populationā¦??? One IDF sniper hit by a stoneā¦??? Compared to all the dead and wounded just yesterday without even taking into consideration all the dead and wounded prior to thatā¦??? Gazans with fist sized exit woundsā¦pulverised boneā¦Gaza hospitals are fullā¦running out of medicineā¦running out of fuelā¦many wounded will need medical help outside of Gazaā¦Lift the blockadeā¦open the G4S checkpointsā¦allow the free movement and safe passage of people in and out of Gazaā¦
