I don’t understand your complaint. People are free to vocally denounce Zionism. These founders have not done that. Quite the opposite, Snyk has offices in Israe

I don’t understand your complaint. People are free to vocally denounce Zionism. These founders have not done that. Quite the opposite, Snyk has offices in Israel and has been vocal about their ties to the IDF. It’s absolutely within my agency to not use their products. Again, there’s zero downside to do that.
- lolinder 2y agoCorrect, you're welcome to do that, and I'm welcome to denounce you for advocating boycotting a product because of the country of origin of its founders. People can't help where they're born, and you're wrong to hold that against them. You're welcome to work through that cognitive dissonance however you like, but in the meantime I will continue to advocate for treating individuals as individuals.
- bbqfog 2y agoNo one is entitled to my business. I have no cognitive dissonance, my business interests are aligned with my moral interests in this case. I don’t use Israeli tech whenever possible. You “denouncing” people who make a rational calculation isn’t really helping to market the firms you are supporting.
- lolinder 2y agoI'm not supporting firms, I'm supporting the right of individuals to be seen as individuals rather than as members of a group assigned to them at birth. That said, this obviously isn't going anywhere, so have a nice day.
- guappa 2y ago"being born in israel" and "Join the army and take part in genocide" aren't the same thing, despite your tryhard attempts to make them into the same thing.
