Do you think the people running the genocide are the same as the people working in the factories to support their loved ones?

At the end of the day, people will always be people, while megalomaniacal leaders are the ones using them to further their own goals.

Sodastream is located in settled territory, and therefore an active participant in the settler-colonial project.

They moved there factory out of the west bank, after heavy protest. Unless your referring to "Israel proper" as settled territory, which it is, but so is the u.s.

SodaStream is still subject to boycott by the global, Palestinian-led BDS movement for Palestinian rights. Its new factory is actively complicit in Israel's policy of displacing the indigenous Bedouin-Palestinian citizens of Israel in the Naqab (Negev). SodaStream's mistreatment of and discrimination against Palestinian workers is not forgotten either.

Is "No!Thanks!" an app or something?

Edit: Found it. It is an app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bashsoftware.boycott

Agreed. We should be supporting Israelis who recognize and promote that the only solution to peace is harmonious coexistence. Calling it "marketing" seems irrelevant and disingenuous, about as solid an argument as calling "peace and love hippies" fakers.

It is marketing though. It's on the box of a commercial product, what else is it?

Why do they say “Arabs” instead of “Palestinians“?

[-] vashti@feddit.uk 5 points 4 days ago

Israeli Arabs are Israeli citizens, they aren't usually considered Palestinian.

[-] ghurab@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

They are using ethnicities, not nationalities. Not that they recognize Palestine as a nation.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
