Hold on my brother & sisters. The fire is rising!
The fellowship has assembled
...for the beacons have been lit
...for the daughters and sons of Falastin (فلسطين)
As for Cheeto Mussolini, Fuck Mordor!
This is only the beginning...
Keep the boycotts up
Keep the fight on
We are all in this together
It may seem the evils we fight are different
That is only an illusion

Fuck Israel!

Those countries are finally acting after years of genocide, because they got permission from Huckabee to call them terrorists. Still nothing from the international community about Gaza.

Burn the illegal settlements to the ground

Meanwhile in Amerikkka we are punishing institutions for refusing to buy Israeli shit. Sigh.
TheLastSpaceman
Assholes be assholin'. This won't stop us.
If anything this will backfire and make people even more vigilant lol
OnyxTurret
Good start. Now let's also ban goods from Israel.
Heisanevilgenius
As a Canadian, wait, our leaders actually had the balls?
KingORedLions
Hours after the UK signed this, the national air traffic control system in the UK failed.
I'm sure it's completely unrelated.
GrandmasterSpank
JUST the settlements..... EU will still buy stuff from Israel after 3 years of pure genocide.
TheLastSpaceman
Genocide has been longer than 3 years. Holocaust, even longer. This, as symbolic as it may be, shows the people's resistance to fascism is effective. This is happening because people like you and I refusing buy Israeli trash.
When you don't buy their shit, countries that import their trash gets stuck with the bill and surplus that rots in the shelves. This hurts them and their investors.
Think of this as beginning, there's a long road ahead.
MarkTwainsMysteriousStranger
Finally! Some good news
wraith203
Don't call them settlers, they're land thieves.
TheLastSpaceman
Even that's an understatement. They are murderers, terrorists, monsters.
CoucousCamembert
boycott, sanction , disinvest

Netherlands have also instituted a ban, to take effect on the 22nd of September. Long, long overdue, and nowhere near enough, but at least a step in the right direction.

"An Israeli terrorist works at a winery..." Fixed it.
Cranbananarama
What goods do those settlements produce anyway?
mightybushkin
Not sure about specific to settlements, but becsuse of that “green desert” bullshit, they make a lot of irrigation products, controllers etc
TheLastSpaceman
Vegetables, olive oils, prepped foods like KHumus (It's humus but with a Nazi zest). Don't forget Coca-Cola bottling plant is also in the West Bank lol
Cranbananarama
Nazi flavored humus? Gross.
LtRooney
Sodastreams, oddly enough.

I'd like to see the butthurt Israeli written article.

I'll save you the read and summarize: "Waah, waah, antisemitism, verbal truncheon, grossly unfair to the israeli blah blah blah, whinge, cry, sad fart noise"

This is literally already what they are saying about it

“Sad fart noise” took me, thank you

Don't despair.
This is a step towards the right direction after a looooooong time.
This never happened before.
Keep the pressure up, we have to demand more.

I feel bad for the last picture. I know that boy is going to get shot.
TheLastSpaceman
Maybe...
I see a boy holding up the flag of his land against the nazi tyrants & killers
I see life persevering despite all odds
I see the bravery
I see the fearlessness
I see the courage
I see the resilience
Dont feel bad, my friend.
Feel empowered!
Feel motivated!
Feel angry!
Feel determined!
Feel the power he is bestowing on you.

Ohh they are. Israel is pissed. Big Bitch Netanyahu announced they will defy the sanctions and continue their expansion. https://media0.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPWE1NzM3M2U1N3FxbjRpMWQ4MWhiNGVlMnMzMHEzMjFraHN6MzBhbGFqNXk5N3NrbSZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/IHiGS6HMtXeBq/200w.webp

That should then cause international ban of all Israeli goods trade as well as freezing all Israeli assests abroad..
But slap on the wrist is the most that will happen

And call you liars and anti-semitic. Can’t forget Israeli Victimhood.

I've heard more than one say that Neutrality on Israel is antisemitism
Mortbise
At his point, we should've severed all relationships.
This is way too little, way too late.
TheLastSpaceman
It's never too late, my friend. Palestine still exist. The people still live.
Dont give up. Fight on. Reject despair. Resist the regime.
It is only together that we can defeat the evil.
If one thing history has taught us, the endurance and persevering of people against Tyranny has always prevailed. They can't kill an idea so as long as a single should stands against them.
We will fight, we will make Palestine free, from the river to the sea!

Clayman8
Taking bets now: will still accept goods, rebrand then, and posture at how "nice we are for not helping them exterminate people"
TheLastSpaceman
They tried this strategy already. Clearly didn't work on the people. Each time they were found out, the businesses carrying those products took a major loss.
There is an active info pipeline from Palestine that tracks the shipments of blood-products all they way to the shelves.
We have to keep being vigilant and call them out. Use apps like No Thanks to avoid being duped.
This is only the beginning.
Clayman8
Oh hell yeah, see this makes me happy. Sadly we know thaf money is king and companies will actively ignore morals as long as profits go up, so knowing they cant get away with it as much is really bringing me some hope at least. Thanks for letting me learn this
Qaetan
They shouldn't be trading with Israel at all OR us here in the US since it's our fucking government enabling this genocide.
FUCK ISRAEL.
FUCK THE US.
TheLastSpaceman
We are at a trade war with US and boycotting US products. Alternate trade routes are being negotiated. There's even an alternative to the Panama Canal in talks lol
Stay hopeful, stay vigilant, my friend.
We have a long arduous road ahead of us but we will get there together.
Qaetan
I really hope CA and other civilized countries take note of how fascists were able to so thoroughly subvert the US government, and by any means necessary prevent that from happening there. Y'all got the same type of assholes up there once you get away from the major cities.
Mountons
Just the settlements, though, and still happy to sell them weapons?
amundost
Very easy to avoid buying wine...
TheLastSpaceman
Coca-Cola bottling plant is in the west bank lol
sevenfingerman
Don’t get me wrong, this is good and a step in the right direction. But it is mainly symbolic. The ban is only on goods produced in occupied territories which is only a small number of agricultural items. A more effective ban would be all good coming out of Isreal entirely, they have an export base economy focused one high end electronics
KingORedLions
It's essentially nothing, since said goods will just get pushed through somewhere else to make them look legitimate.
sevenfingerman
Again, not nothing. Not enough. But not nothing. You need ti keep in mind how much public opinion has turned against Israel over the last 20 years.
TheLastSpaceman
Symbolic gester is what's needed at thee very least right now. Think what UK has been doing under Kier Starmer and arresting people for Palestine Action and literally charging seniors and kids with terrorism charges.
The minute that bitch resigned, UK joined the sanctions. Israel banned UK consulate in Jerusalem and announced they will defy the global sanctions.
During the nazi uprising, there was a lot of symbolic actions as well. Let's hope this is a precursor to something much more tangible
meagain2021
Yep, but it's a tiny small step. I doubt France has the balls to go further until and unless several other countries do, we're not Irish :( But something is better than nothing and the pressure will only mount. At least I hope so.
uCantFeeMe
This sadly. Empty words.
sevenfingerman
Not empty. Not enough, but not nothing.
TChallaVanDam
I’ll take any action over nothing, but my biggest problem with it is why is this SO FUCKING LATE. It’s the first time in world history that the entire planet has been watching what’s happening to these people in real time, begging for fucking help, and we’re JUST NOW getting to this step? It’s disgusting. Shame on all of us.
Tolocamp
As a german, i am deeply ashamed. We broke our promise of "never again"....

The fight is harder for you guys but I still believe in the good. I still believe in the resistance.

Ban goods from the entire shitty country, not just one area.
livingonagiantfireball
Look at oharmacy many medecine are from israel, google who make your pills.
AtaSeaParks
It does seem oddly specific, esp to circumvent, and too narrow. Whole country, full stop.
WackyWavingInflatableArmFlailingTubman
Yea all they have to do is put made in Israel this means nothing
iamahorriblemonsterwhodeservesdeath
It's really quite pathetic how my nation (Canada) can't be a little more hard-line. Govt-wide sanctions against Israel, full trade embargos, declarations of genocide being committed at the very least. Hell, I would support sending our military into Gaza as peacekeepers. We used to stand for things up until the 90s.
InTangier
Indeed, they can still sell their shit in their internal market. And their internal market needs to be boxed in.
TheLastSpaceman
Keep in mind, the sanctions are happening because of the general boycotts of Israeli goods by people of this planet. Their pockets are hurting due to inventory surplus because no one wants to buy Israeli trash.
Wanna join? Download NO THANKS app. It let's you scan bar codes and flag products of ethnic cleansing by Israel and helps you avoid buying them.
The real fight has always been on the ground.

I'm in Europe, in one of the countries on that list, and all goods have a country of origin sticker, which makes it very easy to avoid most of them. That said, what they SHOULD have is where the group that owns the company that owns the company that makes the products, is based.
Margrave9000
Yup. None of your money should get into Zionist hands.
fireflyseasontwo
There's a lot more to boycott than just labeled store stuff. There are actually 3 different apps (2 with websites) now and they all have a different approach so form an umbrella.
For instance, Apple products do not say, "Made in Israel" but turns out the Israel Apple campus is highly involved. This is concerning not just for location but also that Israel is known for spyware (see Pegasus). More info below:

Glad to hear that! EU has always been more conscientious.
We still have to keep up the pressure on our governments. They will do everything to pacify the protests and uprisings. The minute we slip, people die.
LumpPump
try to not fluff your ego to hard, people are dying either way. not to diminish things you are trying to do, but like people are still currently consonantly dying to that pointless war even as you do your part,
so don't act like people are not dying just cause we downloaded an app, that's the whole reason you doing this, cause people are still dying, sure slipping will be bad but we havent got to a point where death has stopped either
TheLastSpaceman
You can't save the ones who have died. You can try to save those that are alive. Being jaded like this insults the dead, their death was not in vain because people are fighting every way they can. What people are not doing is sulking in despair.
You want to stop moving forward, you want to stop, that's your choice. But guess what as long as a single voice yells out "free Palestine", as long as a single fist rise in the air, the fight is still on.
You can either join, or get out of the way.

The entirety of Isreal should be embargoed. But this is a start.

If we ever get their us vassal state to stop being a slave to them, then Israel is going to reap what it's sown.

More or less a couple of years to the total collapse of USA economy, they already need to rise up interest on treasury to have it covered, so...
7hatsBollocks
I doubt it'll be total collapse, but we need more pain one way or another.
sparachiodi
USA are really reliant on Treasury bonds sold to foreing assets to cover their debts and as the economical outlook is getting worse just a little rise on interest to cover the placed bonds will result in a big, big trouble. It's a sort of spiral, they will need to place the bonds but will need higher rates to place them, sadly higher rates is very dangerous if you already have a lot of debts and so goes on and on and on...
