In light of Germany and Italy essentially being the only two EU member states against the suspension of trade with Israel - to be expected since they are the second and third biggest arms traders with Israel, respectively - would an internal boycot of their goods be something feasible to do to put pressure on them to change how they vote? Since they care about their profit given their arms trade with Israel, let’s hit them right there.

What does everyone think?

    Boycott Italy and Germany, at least the fascists in their governments

    Fuck it. With Orban’s veto gone I was hoping this may pass. One of the down sides of the EU. I’d love the UK to stop trading & condemn Israel, but we have too big an arms industry also :/

    I dislike how similar we’re going to WW3, to WW1.

    It’s like we forgot something and have to go run through the whole issue again.

    The foreign minister, Johann Wadephul, suggested that world governments have not yet appealed enough to Israel in an attempt to stop it from attacking civilian infrastructure in Lebanon and Gaza;

    I really want this dude to kill himself, what a poor excuse for a human being. Gaza literally doesnt exist anymore. There is nothing to appeal about. There is only the hope of preventing the same from happening to Lebanon. And clearly appealing doesnt work, otherwise Gaza would still exist.
