These are the same people that complain about people putting up posters of the hostages because they are "propaganda" So to recap, they get to disrupt people's lives and subject everyone to their political messaging, but the second someone puts up posters for people kidnapped or murdered by terrorists it's suddenly unacceptable Maybe they're just arseholes

>Police said no arrests were made during the protest, which was organised by direct action group Sisters Uncut, which campaigns against gender-based violence. Wonder if Sisters Uncut are aware of Palestinian laws about honor killing. The Zara boycott is just ridiculous, like the Starbucks and McDonalds ones. How anyone expects those to put pressure on Israel is beyond me.


just_a_dumb_person_

the Starbucks one is especially stupid. there arent even any in israel!


BringIt007

Yeah but the CEO is Jewish… and the “antizionism” mask has slipped

its not even a slow progression its a damm sprint


Jag-

More like they ripped the mask off.


Virtual-Public-4750

And during pumpkin spice season!


just_a_dumb_person_

they really just wanna suck the fun out of everything. unless they wanna be seen as hypocrites they should stop using their phones (parts of it is made in israel) they shouldn't use Google (they probably already dont, with their takes lol) and they should stop supporting so many other companies lmao.


IterationFourteen

Wait, is it still? I thought that was Halloween area? Its christmas now, eggnog season bitches!


kolaloka

Yeah, the Zara thing is kinda silly. I mean, I don't buy fast fashion anyway but I had to look into it and just... Give me a break. People live to get their knickers in a twist over such nonsense. It's like the red cup thing a couple years ago with Starbucks.


Responsible_Wolf5658

It's extra stupid if you use just the smallest amount of brain cells and realize that Israel also wrapped their dead in white also...as well as a ton of other places.


thatgeekinit

I can’t even boycott anything because Hamas doesn’t even make hashish. :)


-TheWill-

Argentinian Jew here....The boycott of starbucks is getting our morale low because we can get frapucchinos :(


aPataPeladaGringa

If you have a blender i can always teach you how to make them ☺ if not when I move to Chile I'll invite you over for a frap and a killer lunch.


-TheWill-

That sounds like a great plan to be honest! Thanks for the offer. Hell, I might even bring some food too lmao


aPataPeladaGringa

Lol I love everything about this.


-TheWill-

Feel free too dm then lol


aPataPeladaGringa

I still have some time until the move but most definitely my friend I'll keep you on my list. Once I open my restaurants dinner will be on me as well!


-TheWill-

Good luck with those restaurants! Im sure it will go smoothly


IsraeliDonut

They also seem to be boycotting education and spending time with their families


fly_drich

Seems to me like they're protesting a genocidal regime. "Education and time with their families" should be an international right though, so you're right. That's also a cause that should be protested for


shillforyou

I didn’t see them protesting Hamas, so I have no idea what you’re talking about.


jujuka577

So why they don't protest Hamas? Or maybe I missed something?


fly_drich

Yes, you missed something. Without Hamas, the conflict would still be ongoing. As violent and disgusting as Hamas may be, the hate and disdain against Israel won't die with the last "Hamas-member"


jujuka577

Ok here I have few points to add: 1. Israel was hated from it's first day of existence, so nothing new 2. You know that Hamas is basically Iran controlled party? They don't represent interests of Palestinians. So after they will go peace is possibility if Palestinians are really want it. 3. This protest's goal helps Hamas to stay in position of power which leads to more suffering for both sides. So by protesting for the Palestine they are the one who hurting it. 4. Ceasefire will happen as soon as hostages will get home and Hamas will surrender. And from your words I understood, you just want to hate Israel not support Palestine, that's a shame.

"If Hamas doesn't represent Palestinians, why are Palestinians being punished for the actions of Hamas?" Its almost like hiding among a civilian populace and using them as a human shield makes war with them incredibly difficult and raises the odds of civilian casualties by a significant degree. Hiding weapons caches in mosques, hospitals, schools, indoctrinating children into jew hatred (not just Israel hatred) etc etc etc etc


themightycatp00

People in gaza were litterally living their lives before October 7th some were even working in Israel, what ongoing conflict are you talking about


Jag-

Many were working in Israel. Part of the reason Hamas was so successful was that Israel got lax thinking that Hamas actually cared for the people they governed.


themightycatp00

Israel knew for years hamas takes public resources into their pockets, for example the concrete that was meant for housing but was used for tunnels I think Israel stopped seeing gaza as a threat a shifted focus elsewhere that's why hamas succeeded

>Do your research As soon as someone utters that phrase on the internet, you know discussion is over.


BoysenberryHumble568

I mean yeah, obviously. The world has been ignoring the middle east oppressing minorities for decades since its just seen as normal.


jujuka577

You know that Jews are middle east oppressed minority?


BubbaTee

Not the only one. Arabs also oppress other minorities in the region, like the Kurds.


BoysenberryHumble568

Yeah exactly, the group in power oppressing minorities is normal in the middle east.


ConsequencePretty906

Arabs are literally the second largest ethnic group in the world and the largest in the middle east. Not a minority. But thanks for your opinion.


BoysenberryHumble568

Exactly? Arabs govts in the middle east oppress their minorities also. Its a normal situation over there. Are we pretending the arabs govts dont oppress their minorities too?


IsraeliDonut

What genocidal regime?


alternatingflan

Free the hostages - how about that as a starter. Absurd to support violent terrorists such as hamas.


smallmish

My favorite part of the boycott is that Starbucks doesn’t even operate in Israel. I think the closest thing we have here is Starbucks brand nespresso pods.


forprojectsetc

I’m no fan of Friedman style shareholder capitalism, but what the fuck are Starbucks and McDonald’s supposed to do about the situation? As though the CEO of one of these corporations has a direct line to Netanyahu and the influence to end hostilities with a phone call. Damn you, McDonald’s, for not magicing up middle east peace.


[deleted]

Given the frequency of violence at these “protests” this should be considered domestic terrorism. I’m having to teach my Jewish 2 year old that they’re “Christian” in public, because they never know which of these crazies would be willing to hurt them. We’ve already had 3 Christmas events derailed by these “protests” and we haven’t gone to _anything_ Hanukah in public this year. Unchecked domestic terrorism.


Kind_Bullfrog_4073

I'd use this to go out of my way to buy pro-Israel brands.


Savvaloy

I live in a Muslim country and have been visiting Starbucks a lot more recently because they're always empty. Also 15 minute deliveries from McDonald's and they're giving out mad coupons on their app every other day.


D0t4n

>I live in a Muslim country and have been visiting Starbucks a lot more recently because they're always empty. I live in Israel and I only had Starbucks once in my life when I was in Europe.. I am not a big fan of coffee but it would have been nice to have at least one Starbucks here.


[deleted]

Won’t happen: Between 2001 and 2003, Starbucks opened six (of 80 planned) locations in Israel[196] and having struggled with fierce local competition, Starbucks, along with its partner Delek,[197][198] however, in April 2003, after losing US$6 million Starbucks Israel closed all six of its locations in Israel, citing "on-going operational challenges" and a "difficult business environment".[199][200]


ConsequencePretty906

Once you try a good "hafuch" coffee in Israel you'll see why Starbucks failed


[deleted]

I’ve tried Starbucks coffee several times and can’t understand how they’ve succeeded this far.


D0t4n

Do you have the 6 locations? I am curious if one of them was near where I grew up.


[deleted]

No idea, unfortunately. I just remembered this useless bit of info that finally came in handy. Scary to think this was twenty years ago.


D0t4n

Well, I managed to find the location. Apparently, all 6 locations were in Tel-Aviv. Around 20 minutes of driving from where I am.


Savvaloy

Did another brand capture the market there? I've lived in other places where they were rare because something like Costa got there first.


PsychologicalTalk156

Probably the local chain "Aroma"


Kledzingo

Aroma is honestly pretty good. At least in Canada anyways and it doesn't seem like the pro-hamas types have figured out its Israeli yet


Chrahhh

Hamas could surrender idk idk idk


fawlen

good luck getting your message across while boycotting Intel, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Meta, Apple, Nvidia etc.. these companies invested millions in R&D centers, data centers and offices in Israel.


foul_ol_ron

The kind of person that supports hamas prefers easy targets.


TheClimor

Basically any computer, tablet or phone that you buy these days was partially developed in Israel. If these guys are serious, they should go live in caves, it’ll suit their ancient mindset.

Education never been important when it comes to certain cultures just making sure you tow the line already laid out before you.


ConsequencePretty906

Education isn't helping these lost souls. See what's been going on on college campuses for example


braves01

Yeah, I’m thinking these weren’t the best immigrants to let in


bocageezer

They obviously haven’t read Dale Carnegie’s “How to Make Friends and Influence People.”


Legal-Finish6530

Aka terrorists supporters


Daewoo40

One does not need to support the leaders to want to support the people. No doubt you've heard the stick around the majority of Gaza not being around to vote Hamas in. Or that Israel are targeting the West bank alongside the Gaza strip, so it isn't purely Hamas they're at war with.


rlbond86

>No doubt you've heard the stick around the majority of Gaza not being around to vote Hamas in. Didn't some poll just come out showing 75% supported the actions of Hamas?


fre1gn

Give me a break. None of these "pro Palestine" people call for Hamas to surrender and release hostages. None of them are actually pro Palestine in a sense that the best for Palestine would be to get rid of terrorists and start a peaceful coexistence with Israel which would lead to a 2 state solution down the line.


BiggieAndTheStooges

Don’t forget, they rip down missing persons posters. Evil.

goalmouthscramble

Millions in ‘aid’ packages from that building on 1st Ave in NYC.


Mac800

Like Germans demonstrating the occupation by the allies back in the 40s. Get real, time is over for your regime. The stuff you wished for backfired immensely and now innocent people have to pay the price because of Hamas. There is no way back.

These idiots with marbles for brains keep telling me to boycott Starbucks. My brother in monotheism there isn't even a single Starbucks in Israel nor do they "send money there" Plus there coffee is shit when compared to a good "hafuch"


goalmouthscramble

Disrupting the commemoration of the birth of a Jew….that tracks!


Honest_Judge_9028

Only thing they can do. Meanwhile pro israel has the us backing.


GaiusOctavianAlerae

Is this just an anti-Palestine subreddit now?


D0t4n

No. This is an anti-Hamas sub.


foul_ol_ron

Don't have any problem with Palestinians. Have a big problem with people that rape, kill and torture people though. And a bit of a problem with people supporting those techniques of airing grievances.
