"A review of leaked data from Meta, provided to us by company whistleblowers, shows that Israeli companies since 2023 are finding it increasingly difficult everywhere around the world to attract new customers, leading to advertising-cost increases in the billions.

We also just posted the translated audio of an extraordinary interview just given by former Israeli PM Yair Lapid, who is often discussed as a more humane, centrist alternative to Benjamin Netanyahu. Give it a listen and see if you agree with that label."

Based. I boycott Israeli/Israeli supporting products wherever I reasonably can, not just for economic reasons (though I'm glad that's having an effect) but for security reasons as well.

They certainly didn't help themselves with the pager terrorism and constant spying through their apps/programs. Even aside from the boycott for moral reasons, you couldn't pay me to use an Israeli company directly.

If you know someone you can't convince to boycott Israeli products using the morality argument, try using the security one.

Anyone got a good list of Israeli companies? I mostly assumed I didn't buy anything Israeli because they're a small country far away from me. Intel and PrivateInternetAccess are the only two I know of (and the latter it took me way too long to realize is Israeli).

Good.

Excellent, even. Removing their funding limits their reach. Lets impoverish the mofos. And realistically this is what we can all do pretty easily to push back against Israeli genocide.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer country

So this would be why I’m getting ads on YouTube saying “Israel and its people need convicted partners worldwide” 🙄

Yeah I bet they need their partners to be convicts, just like themselves. At least Isreal is being honest about that.
