Worked that much that he moved to the UK..
They know boycotts work, they just play us for fools.
Thank you SA dude for your personal experience.
I don't think they will care about what others think is the problem
Spot on!
Boycott the USA too.
Yes…do the same to the terrorist state of Israel.
It’s not equivalent
The boycott worked because at the time the world was genuinely attempting to become a fairer place. Today, however, this ambition would be dismissed as 'woke' by frighteningly high numbers of people whose low level of education has negatively affected their world view. This is producing the new racism those same people appear to be utterly incogniscant of. They are similarly unconscious of the agenda of those in power who have used control and manipulation techniques to bring this situation about.ñ These people are labouring under the misapprehension that they are part of a grass roots movement. This is absolutely not the case. They think they are volunteering support for people on their side when in reality they are being cynically abused by personality types who have nothing but contempt for everyday folk. There is a problem when right and wrong is decided by the numbers. Much worse could still be to come.
libs selling out brittain
I support Israel 🇮🇱
Boycotts work on locals.
That boycott was started by a woman called Karen that worked in Dunne Stores and refused to handle grapefruit from south Africa 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Boycotts work! The boycott of apartheid South Africa started with a group of Dunnes Stores supermarket workers in Dublin, went national within Ireland and then international.
The line 'Boycotts don't work!" is intentionally designed to undermine the power of social justice movements that have worked, and importantly their applicability to current situations of injustice, such as the apartheid and genocidal actions of a right-wing Israeli government against the people of Palestine!
Another fellow South African making us proud
🎉 well said
Boycott Israel now!
South Africa is the worst possible current nation to emulate in any metric.
But he has a point
I know the feeling south Africa being that way most of my life
Stay strong Israel..!
🇷🇴🤝🇮🇱🤝🇷🇴
Now look at South Africa. Heading the same way as Zimbabwe, the Congo and every other sub Saharan country the White Europeans left. Average time to total collapse is 60 years. 2 generations of Black Government and the country reverts back to the stone age.
I'm guessing Ian disagreed……..
So true 🤲💯💕🤲🤲🤲🤲
Boycotts work if they are economical… Boycotting Israël from the Eurovision isn't going to achieve anything except feed some people's moral superiority complex. Less people will watch the Eurovision song contest, do you think it will change anything in Israël?
Israel has lost the battle with world opinion. Finally Americans are beginning to realize it aint 1967 anymore
Free Palestine ❤❤❤❤❤
Apartheid left an indelible negative impact to the indigenous South Africans.
I stand by Israel and will always stand by Israel ❤
Then we need to boycott 52 of 57 islamic countries at least
If Israel is defeated Italy greece is next it won't stop
FACTS
Boycotts are the working man's form of sanctions
No one of us is Free until Palestine is free.
