It makes sense to me. Of course Israel not having electricity would make it difficult for them to wage war and thus is a valid tactic for someone wishing to curtail their belligerence. And yes, boycotting business with countries is a perfectly normal procedure? It was done to Russia, it was done to South Africa. Where is the problem?
- Manuel_D 4mo agoThe opening of the page claims that these companies' goods and services are directly being used in Gaza: > Their products, services, or infrastructure have been used extensively in military operations in Gaza resulting in mass civilian casualties, widespread destruction that amount to war crimes, and genocide. But this is untrue for many of the companies listed.
- hardbass 4mo agoDoesn't have to be direct military use,if it is at all being used by Israel then Israel is benefiting from it. And if Israel ends up profiting from the transaction we are directly enriching Israel. So to someone opposed to the Israeli actions, it makes natural sense to boycott them in a similar manner to a state sanction. Take Iran itself, whether Iran profits or loses, American businesses are prevented from basically any dealing with Iran. If sanctioning Iran makes sense, then to someone opposed to the Israeli campaign sanctioning Israel makes sense to.
- Manuel_D 4mo agoIf that's the standard you want to draw, that's fine, but the page description should reflect that.
