Honestly, if you’re going to start boycotting the major technology companies because of Israel, your next phone is going to be this.
Apple, Google, Microsoft, LG, TSMC, Intel, Qualcomm, etc. They’re all pretty invested in the nation. And for the few companies like Samsung that pulled out, they’re still selling products that are made from Google, TSMC, and Qualcomm stuff. So you’re really only one step removed from companies that are invested in Israel.

Yo if I boycotted everything evil in this world I would have to live alone in the fuckin woods and be looking like some hobo eating acorns to survive. I can’t even eat goddamned bananas anymore cause fuckin Chiquita is murdering people for Fucking BANANAS ITS FUCKING BANANAS BANANAS AAGGGHGHHHHGH

Man I can't even avoid evil by moving into the woods and subsisting on acorns because the land the woods are on was all stolen through colonialism and I am definitely not descended from the original inhabitants.

Well there’s Linux phones and degoogled phones

Yes, but you also have the hardware. Hence my reference of TSMC, Qualcomm, etc.

From the article (emphasis mine):
The controversy stems from Apple’s employee donation-matching programme, which allows workers to make contributions to various non-profit organisations and receive matching funds from the company through a platform called Benevity. Among the charities Apple’s controversial platform allows funds to be sent to are Friends of the IDF
This doesn’t say Apple is donating to the IDF, just that it allows its employees to, and will match that donation. That’s an employee benefit. It doesn’t say how many employees are taking advantage of this, if any.
It doesn’t say if Apple has simply allowed every Benevity cause or some subset of them that happens to include Friends of the IDF.
I get that this was organized by Apple employees, but Benevity is the one facilitating this - and not just for Apple. They should be the ones getting pressured to stop enabling it.

Do not confuse anti-zionist with anti-semitist

Palestine is done for. After that terrorist attack there’s a 0% chance of Israel backing down until it’s totally gone for good.
Surprised people haven’t figured that out yet, Hamas handed Israel exactly what they needed politically to finish things for good.
I don’t live there and have zero connections to the region or either side, but that’s how I read it.

But… Israel is pro-gay while in Palestinia you’re getting un-alived for being gay…

Frankly, I think it’s either north-east european Christians or north-east European Muslims. Heck it’s even tense here in Balkan.

That doesn’t excuse genocide.
