People are unfortunately very, very, stupid.
They cannot cope with the notion that one could be pro-Palestine AND pro-Israel AND anti-terrorist AND anti-war, all at the same time.
If you are pro-Palestine they think you must be anti-Israel, if you are pro-Israel they think you must be anti-Palestine. Which is an idiotic assumption but millions of people think this way.
So companies don't want to tread this line at all, because they have stock prices and earnings and other things to worry about.

- johnnyworker 3y agoTo me it boils down to international law and the Geneva convention, and how they either apply to all or nobody. That is, by the same token terrorism is wrong, Israeli settlers murdering Palestinians and the IDF murdering journalists and bombing civilians under flimsy slogans about "human shields" is wrong. The same international law that makes the settlements illegal confirms Israel's right to exist. Want the settlements? Can't have Israel, not via rights afforded by international law. Want Israel? Can't have the settlements. And so on. It's a simple matter of having principles rather than group affiliations. "Never again" isn't about Jews, it's about what the Nazis did; the actions and the dehumanizing sophistry to justify them, nothing more, nothing less.
