    Considering they spend millions of dollars on their image abroad I wouldn't say that's true. They even pay people to come on sites like this and talk sh*te.

    And here I'm doing it for free. :mad::pac:

    Edit: Too slow. :(

    If we boycott, they'll end on on groupon for 70%. Sounds like a win to me!

    Would a boycott of Israeli products help Palestinian civilians?

    Yes, especially when targeted against any company involved in the settlement enterprise, which are an expensive project for Israel, and can be hurt via boycott, and make it harder for settlements to be expanded.

    Or maybe that is an elaborate ruse because you already work for them?

    Israel is to all intents and purposes a state of the USA. All boycotts should be conducted accordingly.

    No, but removing Hamas probably would.

    I didn't say whether anybody should bother boycotting them or not, so back to basic comprehension class for you.

    Reddit has been completely hijacked by people like this. The amount of absolutely deluded nonsense that gets posted on there about how perfect Israel is is pretty astounding.

    It's edgy and no-nonsense to defend the IDF to the last.

    Still a cool user name though. I might start buying more Israeli products to show my solidarity.

    Like I said, that is pretty much inconsequential to the point I made.

    It's actually the opposite. The 'edgy' ones support Hamas and constant stream of terrorist acts.

    Whereas the sensible majority have a healthy amount of contempt for both Hamas and the IDF.

    Hamas is at fault, not the IDF.

    Hamas was not required to attack Israel, they do this because they can't get into Israel to blow up people on buses or restaurants.

    The Palestinians were not exactly intelligent by voting for terrorists to represent them.
    Imagine if we had the IRA running this country...

    Not a hope! Being pro establishment is the new anti establishment.

    God forbid people would just hold the views they truly believe in rather than blindly fitting themselves into a particular box (I apply that to anyone of any persuasion).

    I cannot believe a person, a normal human being, would genuinely support the IDF one hundred per cent.

    To attempt to defend either is to defend the indefensible.

    Completely sick thing to say - how do you reconcile with your conscience when you see footage of the results of IDF's disproportionate defence? But you gotta be all no-nonsense because it's the fashion among the right to back the IDF vociferously... since about... ooh, September 2001.

    And btw, criticism of the IDF does not mean defence of Hamas rocket attacks. This "100% with us or otherwise against us" stuff just helps perpetuate the problem.
