The boycotts are the social equivalent of financial sanctions such as those currently being applied by western nations to an eastern nation due to their military actions. Countries like the UK have applied military restrictions to Israel but have stopped short of financial sanctions thus far. For me, we've been funding Operation UNIFIL since the 70s because of Israel's ****, something in that region needs to change, whether it be through social actions or nations intervening more sternly.

Its very complex, I will say being told essentially I shouldn't be able to sleep at night if I don't support boycotting companies who have nothing to do with this really didn't answer my question on if Israel should exist.

BDS and their boycotts predate the current issues as BDS were founded in 2005, and Al Jazeera having reported upon the boycott of Sodastream in 2014 which after just performing a deep dive thereof it is an incredibly complex issue.

Honestly, regardless of the palestinian issue (I support everyone on earth to be a free person), some of these huge companies really need to be held accountable, some truly despicable behaviour. Disney is absolutely gone off the deep end. But also ones like Balenciaga, I will never forget the horrible campaigne they did, just wish they went under for it.

Emme

+1 on what kara said! also something notable is that boycotting was super instrumental to the end of the south african apartheid!

100% back your decision 🫶

As a Jewish person, as long as the criticism is levied at the Israeli government and their actions and not Jews in general, I don't see your views as anti-semitic in any way. Selfishly, I am bummed because I am looking forward to those reactions. But I understand your viewpoint and am also opposed to the current Israeli leadership. Ultimately it is your chanel and your decision. I appreciate your communication on your decision making.

the BDS movement is extremely clear on what it means. https://bdsmovement.net/call the impact of any individual boycott is going to be negligible in the grand scheme of things, but as acts of solidarity with movements they do move the needle (we are already seeing reticence from the Israeli government thanks to indirect business pressures). and at the end of the day it's about what you can live with. me not buying stuff during strikes and boycotts isnt gonna change the world but it makes me sleep better at night 🤷

I'm a bit confused on how boycotting these companies until they make statements will actually help Palestinians.. It's also important what you mean by occupation, because some people consider the entirety of Israel itself to be an occupation

Kara

I 100% support this and think it's really cool you're doing it, basically no other reactors are 😅. the false equivalence of "supporting a free palestine = antisemitism" is a cynical ploy to try to make it so noone can ever support palestine without being seen as anti-semetic, and most people are (rightfully) terrified of being labelled antisemetic in a world where nazism is increasingly on the rise. its nasty stuff. many Jewish people stand against the ongoing genocide... if you don't know much it's really, really bad y'all

From my part I’m sad this had to happen before you could even get to Volume 3. However, I do respect your decision and I really appreciate that you explained why as it helps me understand the situation better. Your heart and mind are telling you what you must do. I wish you the best of luck in the new year. I’ll still be around.

Well that's a bit unsettling but of course, if that's the way you want to go, it's your right. I don't have position as far as I'm concerned, but I can respect your opinion.

Hi Eme, my strong opinion is still that it is 100% up to you what you react to and what not. So I support your decision fully for this temp. boycot of Marvel and Disney+ . Personally I don't want to use Twitter/X so I will look for another place to read more about the BDS movement. Good luck with everything and I hope you/we can keep this community together as always!
