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.
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.
