Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Lol Israelis are practicing their own little form of BDS by divesting from their own state?

[–] Lovely_sombrero@hexbear.net 65 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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.

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.

[–] enkifish@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

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.

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.

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.
