Sure, and equally, stop the collective punishment/ethnic cleansing of innocent people.
- incrudible 1y agoWhat is a boycott, if not collective punishment?
- JohnFen 1y agoA boycott is people choosing where to spend their money (exercising their right of free association). That's not even in the same universe as punishing innocent people by murdering and starving them.
- incrudible 1y agoIsrael is doing neither, as far as I am concerned. Israel allowed in more than the required amount of food. Collateral damage within the context of war is not murder. Internal food distribution difficulties are not systematic starvation. If truly there was a famine, propagandists would not need to use photos of cancer patients (and similar) as false evidence for starvation. Fair enough, what are sanctions, if not collective punishment? There is a concentrated campaign to isolate the entire country and its citizens, from the same type of people that say Hamas does not represent Palestinians. Either there is a double standard here, or collective punishment is fair game. Choose one.
