I really want to help in any way I can, but boycotting israeli products won't affect them to much.
[B]Because they still recieve 3 billion per year from USA[/B]
Great song, hope its effective in getting the message out there.
I'm sorry I can't hear you over my new Sodastream.
Go ahead and ~boycott~ but when we dump, as Sokrates said, 3 BILLION into Israel, you can't do shit by whining about them.

Found this in the related videos. Also pretty cool. A lot of fingerpointing but still interesting

Boycott germany because of the holocaust? Wow, it's not like germany changed over the years.
Dumb video that tries to make it seem less bad that they're bombing aimlessly on civilians to maybe get some hamas soldiers.
Everyone is focusing all around Israel and what they're doing, while no one focuses on the mass graves that ISIS are creating, and the mass executions of thousands of civilians each day.

everyone knows isis is terrible and horrible. everyone knows that isis only exists because of the mess that western powers left in that part of the world trying to displace enemies and get rich
isreal is less terrible than isis but at least isis isn't a legitimate government funded by the united states
saying that we shouldnt care about israel because isis is worse is like saying we should stop giving a shit about testicular cancer because bowel cancer is worse. they both suck and they should both be stopped
the issue with my metaphor though is that testicular cancer isn't funded by the united states government

Well of course, I agree that what Israel is doing needs to be put to an end. The way they're conducting their strikes, and just the amount of collateral damage is not tolerable, even in 'war' circumstances.
ISIS will only become a bigger threat in time, en masses starting to join them out of fear they'll just become like their dead relatives in a sandy grave.
They'll become a further prevalent problem after this whole Israel/Palestine dilemma 'blows over', and it'll become the prime focus.
What I'm trying to say, is that there is much worse going on than what is happening in Israel. I don't know why it is gaining so much attention. It's a bad thing, and horrible situations are happening over there, but there is nothing citizens can do about it. There is also nothing that citizens can do against ISIS.
Boycotting won't bring down Israel from doing what it is doing, they will still get their funding for the war, and they will get more funding to build atop the wrecks that are left over from demolishing places.

I don't think hes saying that what Israel is doing isn't bad, but its interesting how people are able to 'pick and choose' which causes and civilian deaths matter after they weigh the prices. I.e: no one is gona boycott China because without their cheap labor and factories, the American consumer dream would be all but lost.
Sidenote though: boycotting all industries from a country is sorta fucked because its not like those busineses are making the military decisions to bomb Palestinians...
