If Israel is a colonial project, any relationship fueling its economy is supporting the war. This includes touristic activities, investments, any kind of business.
The BDS movement worked against South Africa because it was totalizing and any chance to suffocate the Israeli colonial project must go through the same strategy.

Who is disagreeing with this? I want to hear your arguments.
I’d say the only “reasonable” objection would instead be on the pervasiveness of the conclusion. You can’t walk out your front door and remain consistent on that.

Right on, second time noticing you here today. You’re right again. When I replied the comment was at -2 and now it’s +9. I think several people have alt accounts for vote manipulation. Good thing votes don’t mean shit!

Israel is currently engaged in a genocide. Some guy talking about how much they love all the beautiful things about Germany in 1942 would get down voted to hell too.
I have family in Israel and have been there several times. I liked it there. I liked how all the signs were trilingual and the food was excessively good. I don’t however approve of the Israeli government or how they’ve gone about this conflict.
Does this make me a bad person in other peoples eyes?
Timing matters. I have family in Austria. I like a lot of things about Austria and I also don’t approve of a lot of things the government does and did.
If someone were to have voiced that sentiment loudly in 1942, they’d probably be an asshole.
So from your definition, me having family there and having some positive sentiment about some things I experienced there quantifies me as an asshole.
I find the prejudgment interesting. I used to only get this from right wingers for being Jewish but now I get it from both ends haha. Take care!

No one is OK with genocide.
Reasonable people focus on banding together to accomplish goals. Do you think shaming someone for visiting family helps you stop the genocide? If every American stopped going to Israel, would that stop it? Please.
This is something the right gets correct every time. They hold their nose and tolerate some things they hate so they can make progress on their other goals. Then when those are done, they do it again and again. Eventually they have what they want.
It’s completely disingenuous to refer to it as just “visiting family.”
He was the one who decided to post a photo op in Tel Aviv. His previous posts make it clear that he knew he was doing so right next to an active genocide. According to the article, pro-Israelis interpreted it as an endorsement of Israeli policy.
Reasonable people still have boundaries. Reasonable people don’t “hold their nose” at genocide. Reasonable people stop believing in empty promises when every Israeli atrocity is rewarded with praise and unwavering support.

They’re not. Of course.

Democrats had both houses and the Oval Office in 2021. The Democrats were as “in” as they can reasonably expect to get unless we want to go back to 2011 when the Democrats had all that and a supermajority.
What was stopping him from doing something now? Who forced him to send more arms to Israel?
And how is the Democrats ability to do the right thing inhibited in any way by people complaining about a CEO supporting genocide?
These arguments sound a lot like when my 10 year old tells me that they’ll stop watching video games and do their homework as soon as I stop nagging them. That’s nonsense. They do their homework when I take the laptop away and tell them they can’t have it back until the homework is done.

Supporting is not joining.
Join them. Progressives need to run for local office as Dems. Join Dem committees. Canvas for them. Get to know them. Check out “Run For Something” to get involved.
If you want real change it involves leaving the house and talking to people and being present and available.
You can also vote in their primaries for progressives, if you prefer the less impactful “support” route. But then you’re just supporting the people who are doing the joining.
You can’t really complain if there are no progressive or left Dems to support if you as a progressive/left person aren’t joining either.
Couldn’t you say the same for the Republicans, or any party for that matter? ie, “Join them and if enough people like you join them they’ll change.”
Realistically, some new political operator isn’t going to get any relevant positions. And nobody with the relevant positions will listen to a new political operator.
That may work in theory but it’s basically saying to create a new Demcratic party from within.

Good luck boycotting Stripe

Yeah pretty much. As a payment intermediary they’re actually really good. Top of class one could argue.
The executive’s politics aside, trying to boycott them means boycotting all their users. Good luck with that.
I have to pay a parking fine one through stripe. I would have happily boycott that.
Looks a bit insensitive but it’s not even expressing support for Israel’s war.

Dunno why you’re getting down voted.
I visited Israel 10-odd years ago for work and I loved it. Beautiful country and people… if you ignore all the politics. As with the US.
What I hated while there was the demonisation of everything Palestinian. It’s like a cult: if you don’t agree, you’re one of them. (Get fucked).
It’s the timing.
Israel is currently engaged in a genocide. Some guy talking about how much they love all the beautiful things about Germany in 1942 would get down voted to hell too.
these beautiful people are doing a genocide lol

There is no conflict, only genocide.
Me paying my taxes has me certainly conflicted. Does that count?
Timing matters. I have family in Austria. I like a lot of things about Austria and I also don’t approve of a lot of things the government does and did.
