That's just a band-Aid action. They should boycott all of Israel, cut diplomatic ties, stop trading, and stop Israeli soldiers from traveling to their countries. Most importantly stop giving them weapons and intelligence the Israelis use to kill and oppress the Palestinians
"We will stop importing sardines and carbonated water household machines but we will be selling you guns anyway" its good start but a relatively weak one, and way too late in the game to be impactful. Yall need to freeze assets, block all commerce, block their currency and stop all weapons sales (and brick whatever they have that can be bricked)
It's not enough the world has to come together to fight the terrorist state and fix the crimes the US and the UK bestowed on the peaceful palatinians. If the US live the terrorist group so much give them a bit of the US see how long the cancer takes to spread there
Banning stuff produced in the settlements isn't nearly enough. They can just lie and say it was made elsewhere. Ban everything from the entire country.
A ban on goods from illegal settlements is ... fine I guess.. (we've had them in Ireland for a wee while now and I'd have to google the date because it made precisely zero difference to my life) but is trivial in comparison to the impact a ban on services would make.
Israel has to be cut off from every economic resource there is. It must be starved of wealth until it collapses. I see no other way of having the country ultimately be dissolved.
Keir Starmer was recently replaced as PM. My guess is the new guy, Andy Burnham, asked his advisers what the most visible but least impactful action would be, and this is it. The policy of arming the apartheid state continues unabated.
If this is their response to sanctions that amount to almost nothing, then we should do a full trade embargo and immediately stop providing any arms or funding. Then enforce the 1967 state lines that were agreed upon.
What two-state solution? Israel doesn't want a two-state solution, it never has. It wants all Palestinians eradicated, along with their Lebanese and Syrian cousins, to make lebensraum for its citizens.
Yeah, the "two-state solution" was always a stalling measure meant to buy Israel time as they annexed the land any viable Palestinian state would be built on. Even if an agreement was made tomorrow, no land exists any longer for such a state to be built. It was always a lie and anyone still claiming this as the goal is a huckster.
yea that's a result of DeFranco's "Both sides should compromise" attitude to reporting on any issue. The guy is literally the dude in the center of this meme:
Which side has put forth many two state solutions and which side has did no each time. Which sides has said “from the river to the sea Palestine shall be free” (BTW, this is a chant calling for the eradication of the Jewish people, or ethnic cleansing).
During rabins term you had a point. But since then there was no honest approach anymore. Palestinian population is rather young (average age is 20) - most have never seen honest negotiations. Imho should the full wb be returned to palestine - all settlements should be closed. Or isreal goes for one-state and grants full citizenship, voting rights etc. to all palestinians (won't happen).

Israel has said no each time. Look at who chants "Death to the Arabs" and "May your villages burn." And we can all see how Israel treats the Palestinians who agreed to peace and disarmed (i.e. the West Bank). Or how the IDF invades and terror bombs Syria (and Gaza during the "ceasefire").

his wife, Lindsay, is running for State House District 47 in GA. she just covered some bogus "Warnings" from a Toilet Paper USA snowflake and the necessary responses she'll be taking. his work keeps getting better and better.
I forgot about Lindsay :) I was a big fan of his in the early years, I was part of his first ever live streams on.... Younow or something... Before YouTube had a live option. I saw him live when he came to Ireland probably like 15 years ago lol. Yea, was a massive fan, I lost interest when his company got bigger and other people were hired and different channels made etc, not as personal. Good for him though, and always nice to see him still around
I stopped listening when it became clear every one of his episodes is taken from reddit's front page that day with him trying to find why "both sides are equally right/wrong" about it, and thus I literally wasn't getting anything of value from him.
He isn't afraid to criticize any politician, regardless of their party, but he's definitely not a "both sides are equally wrong" guy. I can't recall him ever being like that, and I'm not sure that you've actually watched him much if you actually think he's like that. I've been watching him consistently since around 2016, and it's pretty obvious he's left-wing. Almost every time he's agreed with a conservative, he's clearly framing it as "a broken clock is right twice a day".
Oh sweet summer child. I was watching him before he released that video about how he likes boobs the size of margarita glasses. In fact I remember that episode making me mad because it was the last one he made that week and I had to wait a whole weekend for his next video. And given that he's publicly identified himself TO THIS DAY as "fiscal conservative, social liberal (mostly)" he is VERY MUCH a "both sides equally bad" guy. Especially as "fiscal conservative" has been proven ever more wrong
Except he's not. Your interpretation of a label that he identified with over a decade ago is irrelevant, compared to the years of consistent left-leaning political commentary/reporting he's made.
And I remember my brothers watching him back when he was young and dumb and made videos for other young and dumb men, he's talked about how much he regrets his old videos. He's a different person now, and his views then should not be used to judge him in the present.
>years of consistently left leaning< yea I love all his reporting where he said that Trump's tax scam would beneficial for him as a small business owner and how he always reported on any economic issues with a transparently bro-business slant. Nothing says "left leaning" like being extremely and vocally pro capitalist /s
not to mention his continued clickbaity coverage of several topics, such as his most recent AI coverage where he unironically regurgitated the usual "AI will kill all humans and become Skynet" bullshit without even the barest hint of self awareness. And his trumpeting of cryptocurrencies in the past, the fact that he has been repeatedly tied to Alt Right radicalization movements, his absolute refusal to call people like PewDiePie nazis, fascists, racists, etc in the name of "centrism" etc
This. I mean, import ban on goods from occupied West Bank settlements?! That's barely symbolic... Banning weapons exports to Israel, which would actually make a difference. And even that is too little, too late.
You do that and Intel is destroyed. Or one of those tech-companies. I forget which, but Israel has invested billions in drawing them over just to make that kind of thing much much harder to do.

evidently, this is somewhere around 3% of Israel’s trade. The entire EU would need to join the boycott for it to severely injure Israel.

Time for Europe to sanction every peace of Israel and every Israeli nation and other countries. Not all Jews support this genocide and Zionist regime

Israel's two state solution is - Israel is a state, Palestinians are in a state of despair.

I heard the analogy that arguing a two state solution with Israel is like arguing the division of a pizza while one party is eating it.

Not good enough, boycott all trade with Israel. And while we are at it, block trade with Russia too. And mirror any trade tariff the US cocks up.
