Good.
Go fash, lose cash.
Here’s hoping the BDS movement gains steam to send those numbers even higher.
In the same time Israel government gives financial incentives for new a settler-colonial migration wave, notably from Western countries only.
Against a backdrop of growing interest in immigration to Israel from Jewish people in France, Britain, America and Canada, Israel plans to give financial aid to new ‘olim’ in a bid to increase immigration from Western countries
That’s OK, the U.S. can cover that for them. No worries, Bibi.
Someone remind me what the U.S. gets out of the BILLIONS we spend on them every year? What do we get? Genocide of vulnerable people? Preservation of some conservative fairy tale about “end-times”? Access to oil being sold by completely different countries who already sell it to us directly? What exactly?
Stop supporting them, for fucks sake. We can use that money on important things instead.
The US gets an unsinkable aircraft carrier in the Middle East they can use as a hub for launching terrorists attacks
Can we just get healthcare instead? Israel has healthcare. Yet we are giving them billions a year. Where the fuck is our healthcare?
Conservatives are pure garbage.

Well, Israel gets to kill US citizens, sell US technology to China, betray US intelligence agents, and cause incredible damage to the US’s reputation internationally.
I don’t see a downside! /s
Fucking embargo these monsters. See how that effects their economy.
NICE!
Boycott McDonalds
Boycott Intel
Boycott Starbucks
And whenever you see Dates that have origin country “israel” in the supermarket, take a box and put it back on a different shelf.
Making the minimum wage worker who stocks shelves have to put back the boxes you misplace isn’t going to win the war.
Hey hes a job creator. If the stores too neat they’ll start downsizing staff.
The idea is that once it’s moved by customers to a different section, the store will treat the product as bad and toss it out. Yes you’re right more work for the minimum wage guy who has to throw it out now, but the idea is that enough loss on that specific product and the manager may stop ordering that/those brands all together. They might not realize the products are related to Israel, just that the other brands are still selling, so by happenstance, the Israeli dates look inferior due to perceived customer purchasing habits. Eventually they may not be ordered anymore and that affects the parent company in Israel.
It’s a really long game, but that’s what I gather the goal of that specific protest would be.
That’s not how it works anywhere I’ve heard of (and I’ve lived in the USA and Europe and worked in an American grocery store). Maybe if it’s a refrigerated product in the US (or vandalized somehow), but that’s not the case with dates.
Not saying that is actually how it will play out, I agree with you that it only actually happens to refrigerated or frozen products (that get discarded when misplaced). That’s not to say it doesn’t also happen to shelf stable products too and we don’t know about it, but I think that is unlikely.
I was just clarifying what I interpreted the original commenters intentions behind said protest would be, not that it would be effective. I believe the interpretation that it’s just about messing with low income workers to be not quite what the intention was.
Just like those poor minimum wage McDonalds workers being the true victims of pro Palestinians 😔
If it happens enough store chains will tend to see a pattern. McDonalds sure did.
Put it in the freezer with the chicken.
Oh no, not the rich people’s yacht money!
Just wait till the sanctions start.
they should be sanctioned but I can’t see the USA letting that happen
It was tongue in cheek. The US one party system wouldn’t allow for that.
