Is it True that People Just No Longer Care?

When #Microsoft turned to the Dark Side, I switched to #Linux. When my ISP started giving money to extremists, I switched. When #Google went from "don't be evil" to "let's spy on everyone," dumped all their products, from my #Android phone to their search engine. When #Mozilla and #Firefox went off the rails, I switched to privacy-respecting alternatives. When #Facebook went all kindsa wrong, I came here to #diaspora. Heck, even #Linux has up and gone crazy political, right down to the kernel itself. So again, I switched.

I'm told that I'm "too ideological" about these choices. And probably paranoid or something. Maybe so, but...

I can't possibly be the only one. Friends on the opposite side of me politically, religiously, morally, and otherwise are quick to #boycott, #censure, #block, and otherwise silence or restrict companies and individuals who don't share their #values. Yet if I boycott, block, or find an alternative (web-browser, ISP, operating system, whatever), I'm being "too ideological" and "paranoid."

Y'all wanna go ahead and just give away your data and stuff like it doesn't matter? Go ahead and click on the image above. If I'm too ideological, then y'all are either apothetic or willfully ignorant.

The Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) commends the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) for dropping its biased, unethical policy opposing academic boycotts, which was primarily aimed at shielding Israeli universities from accountability for their egregious human rights violations.

PACBI salutes all those who worked tirelessly to push the #AAUP to change its position, as well as the conscientious academics, students, and progressive academic associations that have for years advocated for ending #US academic institutional complicity with Israel’s 76-year-old regime of settler-colonialism and #apartheid and, in the process, challenging AAUP’s hypocrisy. Without their persistent protests and intellectual challenges, without the student-led encampments reenergizing campus campaigns for academic #boycott and divestment in response to #Israel’s #Gaza #genocide, the AAUP would not have reversed its ethically and logically untenable policy.

Elon #Musk declares “it is #war” on ad #industry as #X sues over “illegal #boycott

#ElonMusk's X Corp. today sued the World Federation of #Advertisers and several large #corporations, claiming they "conspired, along with dozens of non-defendant co-conspirators, to collectively withhold billions of dollars in #advertising revenue" from the #social #network formerly known as #Twitter.

Elon is a brilliant #mastermind because he can stop advertising without an #AdBlocker. :D

South African MP and activist Zwelivelile "Mandla" Mandela calls for support for the call to impose a ban on the apartheid regime in Israel

The embargo must continue until a complete ceasefire is reached and the occupation and genocide of the #Palestinian people end.

We call on all freedom lovers in the world to direct and dedicate their charitable efforts to provide humanitarian aid to #Gaza

We will go to multiple campaigns and protests in #European cities to prevent #Israeli apartheid from the #Paris #Olympics

#Antisemitic discourse, the #terror of october 7th and the subsequent #boycott #movement in #academia, club- and #subculture

An english-speaking panel discussion with David Hirsh, Nicholas Potter, Tanja Ehmann & the #Punks against #antisemitism, followed by a concert with Morgen Teuer Töten, Die feuchten Banditen & Peitsche

Friday – 05.07.2024 – 19:00 – Skatehalle #Berlin (Revaler Str. 99, F’hain)

These days, we are witnessing antisemitic outrage nearly everywhere: on campus, in the cultural sphere, in subculture, on the streets, in social media. This is nothing new, but it is getting more intense, more aggressive, like the city’s new steady pulse. People, synagogues and other buildings, campuses and venues are attacked, public speeches are shouted down, #Israeli institutions and academics are boycotted.

The #sexual #violence of the 7th October is denied or justified by so-called #feminist activists. #Hamas #propaganda manifests itself and is multiplied by social media. People are excited by the terror of 7th October – by #torture, #murder, and #rape. Objecting this propaganda is usually decried as #racist.

When the ‘ #PunksAgainstAntisemitism’ (AKA Punks) surfaced in Berlin in the aftermath of #7thOctober, a huge shitstorm on social media followed. People were spewing their unsolicited hatred, and the hatred did not take long to spread, coming from Australia, the Netherlands, Spain, Ireland... Bands and venues are threatened with boycott.

The mechanisms seem to be the same in every sector. #Screaming down people, #doxing, verbal #threats and physical #attacks, boycott campaigns.

Our panel does not exclusively aim to focus on Berlin or subculture. We want to speak about the processes currently at work in the multifaceted world of vile antisemitism. This antisemitism elates and excites people, a new lifestyle that encourages them to terrorise #Jews and others while being thoroughly convinced to do something good.

It is a great honour to have David Hirsh with us this evening, and we look forward to discussing all these topics with him, Nicholas Potter and Tanja Ehmann.

Afterwards we’ll have a fabulous show with Morgen Teuer Töten, Die feuchten Banditen and Peitsche!

Israeli Jaffa have changed it's brand to Orri, this one has the original name and Israel on it, but there are other without Israel's name on it.

I saw this at our local Moroccan store that I usually visit and asked him why he was selling Israeli products, first he claimed they were Spanish, and when I showed the sticker, he simply said, so what. He was pretty mad when I returned the items I was planning to purchase.

Today when I passed his store, I saw that they had removed all the stickers. It really makes me sad.

WTAF: #Germany Designates #BDS as 'Suspected Extremist Group'

"Germany's federal intelligence agency classified the international #Boycott, #Divestment and #Sanctions (BDS) movement as a suspected extremist organization this week.

"This new designation will allow German authorities to monitor BDS activists and recruit informants within the organization."

The Palestine soda from the Swedish company is gaining popularity in places where Coke and Pepsi are boycotted.

The company is buiilt by 2 bothers and I think they just using the name Palestine to market their product and increase the visibility of the the name Palestine in Sweden where media and the government trying to use the silent treatment towards the anti genocide activists.
