Lol Israelis are practicing their own little form of BDS by divesting from their own state?
Palestinians were a huge labor source for Israel, they were paid basically starvation wages. Israel asked Thailand and Bangladesh to send lots of new "workers" to Israel to fill in for them, but they didn't send nearly enough "workers".
So basically yes, they are doing something like that to themselves. And I don't think it will matter, the US will just send them money when things get worse.
Literally South Africa 2.0
Isrelis are Hamas, smh.
Too good a title for the genocidal monsters
I love that not even the zionists themselves wants to own zionist-related stonks. These are the same people who are supposedly going to defend their "homeland" to the death.
Intel didn't scuttle their new Israeli fab because of BDS. Intel does not give a single shit about BDS!
stolen valor.
The point of BDS is not to make companies care, it's to create conditions where Israel is no longer a good investment.
Which isn't what happened at all. Intel is going down the tubes and can't afford new infrastructure projects in such an unstable country. BDS did next to nothing here. Most of the blame can be put on Intel itself for being such a poorly run company, the instability of the war + Hezbollah and Ansar Allah wrecking Israel's economy. BDS is important and good for putting pressure on Israel, but it has not reached such a critical mass to start affecting non-consumer facing products. Most of want Intel sells is to other businesses who, I guarantee you are not factoring BDS into their calculations at all. They are factoring in the fact that Intel chips suck.
The part saying where two top economists don't believe Israel will survive for its 100 year anniversary was surprising. One can hope.
cool. america next
If I'm gonna 🎲, I want to at least go knowing the rest of the world will be doing significantly better when I'm gone.
China plz divest from the US and start demanding debt payments from the US. My people yearn for a national chapter XI.
Very good read, thanks for sharing.
I want an update on their current credit score damnit, I want to see how far they've fallen.
Once the war kicks off it'll probably be C tier.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
