Well that's Nestle and the candy I linked is made in Israel by a completely different company, so good job putting words in my mouth I guess?

Congrats on being the guy that takes a picture of a candy bar from Israel and uses it as a political soapbox in a thread that about entitled idiots, too!

you sound really defensive about this

does it make you mad that I don't like buying Sabra hummus either? Yeah I'm posting from an Intel based system but at least Intel isn't donating to the IDF as far as I know. Plus it's not like there's a choice really, they basically dominate the market and have no competition anymore.

nah it's actually pretty funny, because of the reason I mentioned above (if you really wanted to boycott Israeli products say goodbye to anything you own/use designed by Google, MS or Intel because a significant chunk of their development is done in Israel)

Also because Sabra an American company HQ'ed in White Plains, NY and their main production plant is in Chesterfield, VA

Sabra donates money to the IDF fuckwit that's why I don't like them. Not just because they're vaguely Israeli or whatever you're trying to insinuate.

And it's not a bad argument as a computer is kind of necessary in today's society and given that there's ONE loving CHOICE about who to use hardware wise it's kind of either go live in the woods or don't ever boycott anything because gently caress it right I'm already using Intel so who cares? poo poo isn't as binary as you're making it out to be. I have little choice about what computers are in my office. I DO have the choice not to buy a candy bar.

And AMD doesn't make 'high performance CPUs' anymore (or desktop processors in general afaik) because Intel dominates the gently caress out of that market so suck my dickk


you shoulda just dropped it when I thought you were talking about Kit Kats but then you weren't because that was fair enough but now you're just digging a relative morality hole for yourself

lmfao dude I don't loving care about your opinions but going "but but AMD doesn't make GOOD processors anymore!!!" is a really weak response (hint, they do make high-end consumer processors but I guess 10 seconds on Google is too much to ask). Go buy a loving tablet with a Qualcomm processor in it or something or switch to an AMD processor if you're that serious about your opinion because right now you're literally admitting you only make moral choices when they are completely convenient to you

but go ahead man you be you, you should feel really morally superior about your decision to not buy a candy bar you've most likely never even seen or heard of before (though I guess I should have figured out you're an idiot when you somehow came to the conclusion that I'm unironically OK with Nestle using child labor to make their bad chocolate)

Dude it's beside the point.

I have no choice in the computer I use at the office. I have a choice in the things I buy. Just because I use an item in my office that has an Intel chip doesn't mean I suddenly have no basis for not wanting to pay for Sabra hummus.

It's very simple.


Also again Intel doesn't donate to IDF as far as I know so again there's shades of grey you're ignoring to make your angry point. I don't have a problem with Israelis. I have a problem with Israel's foreign policy and by extension the military means they use to enforce it so I don't want to buy products from a company that has adopted an IDF unit.

I didn't say that. I said your choices are based on convenience and nothing else. What about your home computer? Is it an AMD processor? Did you stop to consider the moral implications of the part you ended up buying?
Do you make other moral choices when buying poo poo, or did you read an article from 2010 about Sabra and make your choice based on that alone?

Really though it's just kind of silly that I made a post that was literally "hey guys this chocolate bar is awesome" and you literally attacked me for justifying slave labor. Not only was I talking about a different company entirely, the fact that you're still trying to argue that you're in the right means that not only were you actually serious when you made that "blood of Palestinian children" comment, you actually believe you have some sort of moral high ground because of it.

You're the one who saw a label in Hebrew and tried to turn it into an unironic anti-Israel soapbox, and then got mad and called me names when I tried to steer the topic back to where it was with a very obviously facetious post. Why you would do that for any reason at all except to feel morally superior to an internet stranger is completely beyond me

Neither does Elite but you didn't seem to have a problem forming an opinion on them based on seeing the word "Israel" in my post which is literally what started this idiotic argument so I don't even know anymore dude, I think you're just trolling me at this point to be honest

Well then maybe you should have put 5 seconds of thought into your posting because right now it really looks like your initial point was "This chocolate bar is made in Israel so it must be made with the blood of innocent Palestinian children," which I initially thought was just another joke but apparently you're ready to defend it to the death based entirely on the fact that it's made in Israel and literally nothing else

Like your first post could be either a joke or not which is whatever, but then you keep trying to defend it with unrelated examples. The only reason I brought Intel etc. into the mix was to prove that a legitimate boycott of Israeli products is a lot harder than just buying Cedar over Sabra hummus, but you're the one who implied that because Elite is an Israeli company, they are automatically evil and must be boycotted, and that single example you're touting isn't even a majority-Israeli company.

Out of curiosity, what brand hummus do you buy?

e: according to Google you can add Motorola (and therefore by extension Lenovo) and Hewlett-Packard to the mix of companies that do a ton of business and R&D in Israel, so I sure hope you don't own any products made by them!

e2: also, despite all the hosed up poo poo the Israeli government does to Palestinians, and all the (mostly justified) vitriol the occupied residents have for the Israeli government, even the official Palestinian newspaper can find praise for the efforts made to employ Palestinian workers at Israeli-owned companies (to the tune of $20 billion of annual trade commercial trade) so, like most things in the world, it's not really as easy as just not buying a product from Israel to support Palestine.
