Of course. But the Free Tibet movement does not call for a boycott. Take a look at their website: https://www.freetibet.org/take-action .

I’m sick of people saying, “If you boycott this, then you have to boycott that.”
Also, Israel is a democracy in the same way South Africa was. Ask the residents of Hebron or Nabi Saleh or the countless refugee camps across the ME if they’re living in a democracy. Israel is a democracy if you’re Jewish but if you’re Arab, it’s either a dictatorship or a Potemkin democracy where their political…
Your argument is nonsensical. Boycotts aren’t started by a bunch of well-intentioned Westerners sitting around a room asking “who’s the worst human rights offender in the world? Let’s boycott them.” Boycotts are started when an oppressed group, as part of their struggle for justice, call upon the international…
Palestinians are the indigenous people of what is now Israel and millions of Palestinians are (second-class) Israeli citizens, subject to state-sponsored discrimination in everything from employment to housing to family law. Millions of Palestinians live in refugee camps after Israel’s ethnic cleansing campaign in 48,…
Do you boycott all three countries?
How is it antisemitic by nature? I disagree with that assertion.
No, because no court is going to recognise Isreal’s authority over private citizens of New Zealand.
I do what I can.
This is so the “why are you uppity feminists angry about locker room talk, where’s your outrage over how women are treated in Riyadh”.
Are the oppressed peoples of China or Bangladesh calling for the international community to boycott China or Bangladesh? No? Then the comparison is illegitimate. It’s no different than supporters of South African apartheid who said “why are you boycotting South Africa but not Uganda or Zaire or Indonesia or [insert…
So you’re telling me that I could have sued Duran Duran when I was the next kid in line to meet them at Licorice Pizza (old school record store in SoCal) and they decided to leave?? I was in tears. I flipped out on the bus. I went home and laid on my top bunk bed and cried and cried and cried. I think I still have…
If Israel deems itself a western-style democracy and deserving of our immense support, it has to do better. Can’t have it both ways.
That’s what I was wondering too, how can Israel force people to come to their country and/or spend money there?
If they win a task force of Israeli judges and lawyers will kidnap Lorde and force her to perform for these teenages. The teenagers emotions will become unharmed and Lorde will be promptly shipped back to New Zealand.
I think it’d be pretty easy to judge them.
seek to impose an unjust and illegal boycott against the Jewish state
We got Peak Special Snowflake here folks.
Hmmmm.... I would think it would be very difficult to actually enforce any judgment, even if they do win.
Illegal boycott? They can fuck right off with that shit. I will continue to not buy Sodastreams ever, thanks.
