Would you consider boycotting Google or Amazon because of their relationship with the Israeli military? I avoid Amazon, but it's pretty tough to avoid Google.


Israel is not a threat to Europe while it's hard to say the same for Putin. At least it matters if you live there.


The Government of Israel, as it currently stands, is absolutely a threat to Europe.

It has brought genocide, concentration camps and forced starvation back into the Overton window for state actors pursuing security objectives. This should terrify everyone, whether inside Europe or not.

In the UK, simply expressing support for a protest group is now imprisonable under anti-terror legislation. Germany is dishing out fines and deportations for as little as holding up signs.

Post-war Europe is ostensibly built on rules and norms around human rights, democracy, and the rule of law. The behaviour of the state of Israel, and our governments' craven support for it, is causing rapid democratic backsliding and laying the groundwork for our next round of atrocities.

Whatever one's moral perspective, or position on the middle east, this concerns everyone.
