    Some 400 Arabs lost their jobs at the Soda Stream factory when it moved out of the West Bank as a result of the boycott.

    Bravo, Germany!

    I guess spotting the 400 Arabs was easy to do what with them being segregated and all.

    Now that I think about it I am sceptical that a Chilean did it. I doubt Chileans are circumcised.

    You lost me here.

    Are workers in your country segregated according to ethnic, racial, or religious background? That would explain your answer.

    As expected, nothing about the 400 people and their families who lost their livelihood. The so-called pro-Palestinians don't really care about Palestinian Arabs.

    Don't worry, I'll clear it up for you.

    No, that WOULD NOT explain my answer. We do not segregate according to ethnic, racial, or religious background. That is my very point. In my country, we have no idea how many employees are of any ethnic, racial, or religious background. But you knew how many Arabs are working in the Soda Stream factory in Israel. Right?

    Funny how anti-Arab zealots scream about Palestinians using civilians as "human shields" yet you make an absurd comment that 'pro-Palestinians' (your word, not mine) boycotting an Israeli company is uncaring as there is a percentage of Arabs employed by the company. :icon_clueless:

    Also what has this to do with anti zionism?

    Germany has a foreign policy which has the two states solution as goal. Israeli settlements in the west bank are against this policy. Boycotting illegal business from this settlements is not anti zionism but simply rational.

    Which proves that boycotts hurt the people whom the boycotters pretend to care about. Epic fail.

    Of course I knew. It was in the newspapers. There was a public debate about this issue.

    Remind me which of the boycotters claimed that those boycotts are a token of love for the people of Cuba, Iran, Russia and N. Korea.

    I don't care about Germany's foreign policy. I care about my country.

    BDS goal is the annihilation of Israel. Compliance with BDS is anti-Zionism.

    Segregation. Exactly what I told you - but you pretending it wasn't true.
    Your back is against the wall now because you have no more replies to the issues. And you know it.

    Then why are you so angry over the fact that Germany has boycott Israeli Soda Stream? You are fooling yourself.

    Since Germany dictates the entire EU foreign policy it led to the boycott from all products produced in illegal settlments. You actually do care because those corporations left the illegal settlements, like Soda Stream.

    Would you pretty please with cream sugar and a pink ribbon on top explain Exactly how you got "segregation" from "public debate"?

    I won't hold my breath though.

    According to you, no businessman should ever know how many women and how many men are employed by his firm, unless the genders are totally segregated. Interesting.

    As above, just replace "segregation" with "back on the wall" and "public debate" with "token of love". Oh, and the ribbon can be red or blue this time, I don't care.

    SodaStream was not in a settlement.

    No, we don't care. SodaStream just moved to Israel and it's business as usual. More work for Israelis. I bet the 400 Arabs who lost their jobs and their families, on the other hand, care very much about Germany's foreign policy. Not that Germany cares about them.

    In other related news, a German court ruled Kuwaiti airlines may ban Israeli passengers. No illegal settlements were mentioned, or harmed, during the process.

    Of course it is.
    1, Since inception it has had an thirst for other's land.
    2. In order to maintain its apartheid like society it has to show a "threat" against it.
    3. It treats it neighbours as if international law does not apply.
    4. It is believed to be the largest "rogue" nuclear state in the world.
    5. It is supported by a bunch of loony religious people who think that it will enable the "end times".
    6. It is a country which from inception has used false flag attacks to promote it's aims.
    7. Possibly the biggest threat are the internal religious loony tunes who want to build a temple to there silly god which will piss of the equally loony tunes who already have a mosque there.

    Yes, Israel is a threat to world peace, in fact it might actually make the "end times" a self fulfilling prophecy!
