Ah yes, that will surely help the Palestinian children.
Yes it will. Voices critical of Israel and calling out Israeli crimes in the occupied areas and now in the war against Gaza are crucial to changing opinion in western countries. And a changing opinion in western countries puts pressure on western governments to stop helping Israeli crimes and start providing adequate humanitarian support and to start working towards the end of the occupation and equal rights of the Palestinians.
Omg you're so right! Brb I'm going to buy a bunch of Russian vodka, petrol, and a shitty Lada to drive around in.
In fact, why boycott anything at all?
Exactly. In this specific case boycotting is useless.
US and Europe provide cover for Israel to act with total impunity. The only thing left is boycotting them to show them what the world actually thinks of their genocide. Israel's vanity is that it is a democratic Western country . They need to face the consequences by becoming a pariah state.
There seems to be some dissonance between the EU leaders and EU population when it comes to Israel and this is how people can highlight it
Well lets invite nazists then, people from the camps are dead already, what harm could cause? /s
