Israel has been bombing Lebanon. This doesn't seem like an issue of difference of opinions.
How long do you think the planet should have boycotted American citizens after the President Truman approved 2 nuclear bomb attacks on civilian cities to scare the Japanese emperor into capitulation?
A couple years? Zero boycott? Cuz its the USA and you always have the best end result in mind, so it justifies the means?
Israelis retaliation against Gaza has killed around 100k at the highest estimates…. how many Iraqi citizens and children were killed from 2002-2022? More than 100k?
if so, does that make Americans more genocidal and colonistic? if they killed more people for a foreign invasion thousands of miles from the USA?
or was it all okay cuz 9/11?
So no movies with anyone jewish or israeli?
Like americans sending japanese to camps, do you really think this is the appropriate target for people protesting the Israeli rightwing majority party?
i think its odd to ban jewish products and people due to the actions of a government body they are not a member of and have zero impact on.
its like being pissed at german bakers for hitlers policies in world war 2.
Jewish ok.
Israeli boycott.
or what about boycotting americans for their causing almost every problem we face today?
their election of bush… leads to over 2 million civilians dead and displaced in Iraq, which led to the Syrian war (multi millions dead), migration crises in europe, talking tens of millions of human lives destroyed.
due to americans voting to elect a guy they wanted to have a beer with (george w).
should we ban your citizens? because you cause almost every single issue being dealt with today on earth.
I mean should the world ban Americans due to many of them voting to elect Trump? Its cool with all Israelis too? Don‘t come back with the „she served in the military“ when its a requirement for citizenship in Israel, as it is in Austria where I live.
If she supports right wing Netanyahu policies of displacing palestinians, then yes, ban her.
If she has nothing to do with israeli policies other than her place of birth…well i dont understand you in any way.
I dont blame individuals for the actions of their shit leaders unless they actively are supporting those shit leaders and those actions.
European here. I would support a travel ban for Americans.
You can still ask for asylum
Ww2 or the Japanese internment camps, aren't currently happening right now and continuing to happen. If they were they'd elicit the same reaction and actions. That makes you a contributor to what's happening if you fund it, or patronize it.
yeah but you did cause the entire middle eastern scenario we see today. USA invades iraq and overthrows saddam, killing around a million civilians and displacing around 2 million more.
your country. not israel.
the power vaccuum leads to syrian civil war and isis.
we‘re talking millions dead due to USA policies.
so who should countries be banning? Gal Gadot from Israel?
Or you, from the USA?
Is it at all like that? Or is it like sanctioning a country for its crimes, like sanctions on Russia for the Ukraine invasion?
Should the world sanction the US for its CIA destablizing nations across tje globe for the past 80 years? What about the deaths and displacement of millions of Iraqi citizens post 9/11 (that had something to do with Iraq, right?)
Do you really think, as an AMERICAN, the world should start punishing citizens abroad for their leaders actions? Whether or not they support them or have anything to do with their nations decision-making apparatus?
They also banned Schindler's List.
It is a difference of opinion. About whether or not Jews should exist.
