Google Removes App That Helps People Boycott Pro-Israel Companies::NoThanks was temporarily suspended from the Google Play app store due to a line in its description speaking about Israel.
Streisand Effect
Free Palestine from the river to the sea.
What I don’t understand, as someone who doesn’t support Hamas or Netanyahu, is why you would chant that.
Like, where would Jews go? Is that actually a real solution? Only super old people actually came to Israel from another country, most of the Israelis don’t know any other home
Many who chant it don’t even know what river or sea they are talking about without looking it up.
And they don’t care what happens to the Jews. It’s a racist chant which is basically supporting genocide.
It’s an idiotic phrase that only morons and racists would repeat. It’s unrealistic and doesn’t solve a damn thing. But of course the herd will repeat the catchy phrase because they have an excuse to be openly racist but still have a way of justifying it.
There. I said it.
And no, before these same idiots say otherwise: I am not happy with how Israel or the IDF is handling the current situation or the situation before October. Nor am I a supporter of hamas and their actions in early October; Israel just had their own 9/11, so of course they are going to react miltaryary, of course they fucking are, like every country on the planet would.
This whole thing is like watching two unlikeable assholes having a boxing match. It’s basically boogie2899 Vs wingsofredemption but with a lot more death and destruction, so it’s not funny.
“Of course they’re going to bomb refugee camps and schools, of fucking course they are” Jesus Christ just stfu already with the bullshit excuses
Jesus christ, Israel is literally a British colony. Getting Jews out of Europe was exactly what the Nazis wanted.
Zionism isn’t some centuries old thing; it’s based in British colonization tactics. It started in full force only around 70 years ago to serve British military interests in the region.
The companies made are literally called “Colonization Commission” and ‘the Jewish Colonial Trust’
Israel, EU, and the US should decolonize the region and return it to Palestine. Where they go is up to those governments to manage, because they started this. But that goes against their profit incentives, which is to keep the middle-east divided through war, keep oil cheap, and prevent them from uniting against the imperial core, no matter how many hundreds of thousands of civilians are killed in the process.
People are being displaced and forced out of their homes by settlers and military right now. Fuck colonizers.
The PFLP, the second largest Palestinian liberation group after Fatah, calls for a secular Palestinian state where Jews, Muslims, etc. will live together in peace. Modern Fatah even accepts a two-state solution (and they have every right not to). Only Hamas is mixing up Zionists with Jews, and that’s entirely because of Israel and the Imperial core’s constant oppression, displacement, and now genocide of the natives.
When Jews lived there in period of Judah and Israel, was that also European colonization?
Let’s not forget that Muslims conquered this region, it wasn’t magically peacefully obtained. Was this not colonialism?

Well for one, Jews and specifically Israelis don’t have to go anywhere for Palestine and Palestinians to be free?
Like the slogan just does not at all necessarily imply what you’re imagining (or what the US congress claims) it does. That slogan’s been around longer than Hamas.
The slogan is being used by far right israelis too. And it is implicitly genocidal for both sides. Israel is here to stay and so is Palestine. Both sides need to accept this so we can move towards the next goal, defining which lands go to which side.
Israel needs to be charitable and give back land, remove settlers, etc. And in response Palestine needs to control its people and guarantee the safety of Israel.
A lot of Israel’s landgrab is because of security concerns or at least thats Israel’s excuse. If Palestine can remove that excuse by providing security, things can become a lot simpler.
The problem is that Palestine does not exist as a country with a unified government, partly because of Israel(supported hamas, etc), so Israel continues having legitimate security concerns.
Literally 75% of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza choose it as the explicit genocide option on a survey that Includes one state for two people as an option. This is a poll done by a Palestinian university in the west bank, claiming its Israeli propaganda would be pretty stupid. All the US congress did was assert to the public what the meaning is to a super majority of Palestinians in Palestine. The diaspora pushing a different narrative never speaks up when the crowds chant the Arabic version that ends in “Palestine will be Arab” (or “Palestine is Arab”).
It means that Palestinians living in West Bank and Gaza should be free from Israeli oppression and Palestinians living in Israel should be free from apartheid. It doesn’t mean kicking people out.
That isn’t what it means. You are trying to RetCon history to align with present day values. Stop it.
Israel can’t and shouldn’t exist in the future.
An ethnic religious state can never be free.
They chant that because it means something different depending on who says it. The Palestinians have been chanting this slogan for many years since the PLO times. The call was to unite the people to show unity between the people of gaza to west bank. However, when Hamas took power, the chant turned into something antisemitic. So you will hear both sides now, unite the people and wishes for terror.
Free Palestine from the river to the sea. 🇵🇸🇵🇸
Debunking : “From the river to the sea” is a call to genocide.
When Palestinians call for freedom from the river to the sea, they are calling for decolonization and the dismantling of this racist colonial entity which dominates their lives, and seek to replace it with a state that would not exist at the expense of the subjugation of others.
This is hardly a new or radical position, such an entity was suggested by the Arab states as a counter-proposal to the 1947 partition plan. Naturally, this was rejected by the Zionists. That we barely ever hear about the offers that the Yishuv/Israel rejected should be an indicator of the nature of mainstream discussions on Palestine and the silencing of Palestinian voices. The Palestinian Liberation Organization also called for establishing a secular, democratic unitary state for all its citizens. Naturally, none of these proposals included genocide, ethnic cleansing or mass murder.
Debunking that Blog is really easy. All you need to do is listen to actual Palestinians in Palestine instead of anonymous blogs.
Like a survey conducted by Palestine’s Birzeit University’s Arab World for Research & Development (AWRAD)

For all the people still in denial, that is a genocide slogan.

Jesus Christ, this is I getting nsane. When did it become unacceptable to say that genocide is bad?
Capitalism taking its natural course of prioritizing capital/profit over human lives.
Join/organize protests and Socialist movements if you want change.
When the US supports it, it’s not genocide anymore. It’s just becomes “self-defense”.
A technique stretching all the way back to the Roman days
Is anyone really surprised we’re still up Brutus’ ass when the library of congress only just recently acknowledged that the US system is based much more on the Haudenosaunee Confederation than the Roman Republic, no matter how much the marble fap gang tries to insist otherwise
Almost every attacker in history has claimed that they have God on their side™
The article says that the app description said something about “killing children”.
It’s not really surprising google removed it. I mean they could’ve just edited the description or whatever but… policy I guess.
Sounds like it will be back any minute.
It’s probably just an antimalware bot going wild. An unlucky filter somewhere matching “israel” (i had to regex-process invoices once, same shit), blown out of proportion by the culture of outrage doing it’s thing.
But now that Google is forced to admit to one side, they will probably prefer to say nothing and just take the blame. It will be forgotten in a month anyway.
Not condoning the bullshit, just pointing out that the app is back up on the store as of 5hrs ago
edit: furthermore, if actual boycotting is your legit interest instead of impotent, anonymous outrage, here’s a similar app that offers the same functionality.
Because despite treating Israeli Holocaust Survivors like dirt, Israel has successfully sold itself as being justified because of the Holocaust, so outside observers who’ve never heard of soap being a slur in hebrew because jews who didn’t experience that contempt the ones that did flinch when you point out how the early settlerists established bank infrastructure with the Nazis to facilitate well of jews moving to Israel under pressure, or how current settlement communities literally have Lebensraum ideation of taking everything between the Nile and Euphrates.
These psychopaths are so hell bent that the Arabs don’t even get their own ancestral homeland anymore if the zionists get their way, Aden is just a piece of Israel that lost the memo!
Well they can start by not using their smartphone because that thing has a ton of Israeli tech.
kinda agree with this, to some extend. We can only do selective boycott, those that won’t directly affect our life given that there are other options, like not going to Starbucks or McD. If we really want to boycott Israeli products and techs, we won’t get access to modern tech at all - they are everywhere.
I think boycotting is the wrong way to solve this issue. It’s better to sit down and have an honest conversation about it. But the conversation has been anything but honest. People don’t even know what “from the river to the sea” actually means before shouting it, they think it’s some hippy “love and freedom” chant, while it’s a call for genocide.
Ah yes, having a conversation will definitely help the Palestinian people.
There have been plenty of honest conversations since May 14th 1948 and it has led to this current situation. I would really love for there to be peace but it seems that everyone involved and everyone backing everyone involved is quite heavily invested and continued war in that region.
The children pay the price.
You don’t need to stop using things that you already payed for, that’s would be wasteful. You just need to stop support and not buy anymore.
Smartphones and computers are essential tools for many people. Essential tools can break beyond repair or be so old that they are risky to use or even can’t be used for what you need to use them for anymore. Suggesting just not buying technology because of Israel would basically require huge numbers of people to just end up having to quit their job one day because of it.
I honestly wish there was a way to separate Israel from the tech industry, but it’s just not possible right now. Do what you can and not buy things from companies you aren’t forced to rely on, such as Starbucks and McDonalds, that support Israel. That still hurts Israel without hurting you.
The list is immense. I would almost prefer a list of brands okay to buy from, free of zionist support. It would be smaller and easiest to maintain.
totally not circlejerking brainwashed herd
edit: lol as I was correcting spelling someone already down voted, this quickly! u guys/bots r hilarious
There’s a simple diagram of a few targeted products to boycott here. https://bdsmovement.net/Act-Now-Against-These-Companies-Profiting-From-Genocide

Man this is sad to see, people falling for the Hamas propaganda or willing ignoring the truth because their antisemitic, or it’s what it’s always been, immature people doing whatever makes the old people in office angry
So then people should be blaming Hamas for using civilians as human shields, it’s one big propaganda stunt using lives, and y’all are falling for it
Military members of either side have the option to not shoot the human shields. Yes, maybe it will require a surgical strike via spec ops instead of a javelin missle. Maybe you can’t blow up that military target due to it being in a hospital. Sure militarily that is a less than ideal outcome but then you would not be on the global stage needing to defend your warcrimes.
Just a thought
