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!
Edit- My only complaint with the app I use, Sync, is that it only shows total votes and not individual totals.
I use voyager which lets me toggle what I see (I actually switched to individual recently) and the comment I assume you're talking about is at +19, -9 votes, and was about the kid who shot the home intruder
There are lots of down votes on both sides of that thread tho
(Also subtle voyager plug)
It was the comment about any economic support of Israel fueling the war from this very thread.
As in the one you replied to? That one is +9, -0 So people either changed votes or there was weird federation things going on
Yeah that's the one.
Interesting info, thanks.
No problem I assumed it was the other one because I was looking in their comment history for comments with downvotes
Nah they'll cower in other subthreads
