The Choice to Boycott - No Thanks app

a reply to: gortex

I could hardly be bothered to boycott products for ideological reasons. If I need or like something, I buy it. If I don't need it, I don't buy it. It's that simple.

I don't really understand the people who get turned on by this decades long conflict except of course those of Jewish or Palestinian background. As if they had a horse in this race.

I'll save everyone the trouble - Our tax dollars get exported to Israel.

If you live in the United States, you're supporting Israel.

If you live anywhere that has a government that is giving away your money, you're supporting them. LOL.

And Ukraine. And Iran. And virtually everyone else.

So what you are saying is it is like the notion of using crappy paper straws thinking it actually does anything for the climate.

The paper straws that came in plastic packaging and went into cups with plastic lids?

Yeah, I remember those. Kind of like that, yes.

Israel is a big export of medical instruments, so let’s boycott that! BTW their 3 big export areas is the US followed by China and West Bank/ Gaza as a tied second over all other countries.

Nope, sorry, it doesn't work that way.

Apparently, the app was boycotted, as the page does not exist...

Wrong thread.
