schestowitz"I think "not buying from Israel" doesn't translate to "don't buy jewish". But of course you might feel otherwise."Dec 03 02:29
schestowitz"it was a question, but i would be curous 2 hear a real answer, why do people think that boycotting israel is not antisemitic? or is there somewehre a campaign 2 boycott turkey, iran, the usa, congo, china, india, pakistan (remember the cashmir-conflict), marocco (ever heard about west-sahara?)"Dec 03 02:29
schestowitz"If I boycott English goods because I condemn the country's occupation of the northern Irish counties am I necessarily anti-Anglo or simply expressing opposition to the government's behaviour in that colony?

schestowitz"Dec 03 02:30
schestowitzmurdeRED dreams, I will happily answer your question. But it will probably be my only answer, as I don't really want to engage in this unfruitful discussion you're trying to start:Dec 03 02:30
schestowitzI have nothing against jews, if fact quite the contrary. And yes, I also try to avoid products from other places run by governments that are acting bad. That doesn't make me anti muslim, anti christian or anti whatever-some-people-happen-to-believe-in-in-some-of-these-states.Dec 03 02:30
schestowitzThe product in question is from Israel. I thought it was worth mentioning for those who cares about that. I'm sorry if you feel I am thereby also obliged to let everyone know that iPhones are produced by slave-like labour in China and so on.Dec 03 02:30
schestowitzIn fact, I own a CompyLab product and other things made i Israel (and that doesn't suddenly make me pro Jewish), and several other products made under other unethical circumstances. Nobody's perfect.Dec 03 02:30

schestowitz"when u use double messures, yes, turkey is occupying the half of cyprus, inculding ethnic cleansing (REAL ethnic cleansing, not like in the westbank) morrocco has occupied the westsahara, india a part of cashmir, but there is no boycott movement, even enemie 2 israel like finkelstein and chomsky had 2 confess that this is very obvious that only the one single jewish state is faced an international boycott-movement, very similar 2 Dec 03 02:31
schestowitzthe sa (nazis) in the 30ies in germany. anyway, this bds-movement is not about "the behavior towards the "palestine" people", itz about the existence of one jewish state, about the pure existence of israel"Dec 03 02:31

schestowitz"I used to buy from Walmart all the time - back when they advertised that they always bought products from the USA first.

schestowitz"Dec 03 02:32
schestowitzmurdeRED dreams, from your own posts and reshares it seems your not even a fan of religion. I wonder then why you feel the need equate actions against Israel to being anti jewish. To me it has nothing to do with religion.Dec 03 02:32

schestowitz"as an antifacsist and communist i fight antisemitism, racism and patriarchy, there is no "good goverment""Dec 03 02:32

schestowitz"But unless you boycott every other country too, boycotting Israel is anti-semitic?"Dec 03 02:32
schestowitz"Dec 03 02:32
schestowitzusing different messsures against the only jewish state which is factial threatend by extinction, yes, and like i said, even chomsky and finkelstein had announce their scepticism about that"Dec 03 02:32
schestowitz"So what you are basically saying Israel should be allowed to persecute Palestinians with no accountability what so ever? We should all turn a blind eye to what Israel is doing because it is "threatened with extinction", or simply because they are Jewish?'Dec 03 02:33
schestowitz"Dec 03 02:33
schestowitzno, where did i said that? i only said, that u cant ignore the existing thread and the antisemitism, wehn u "judge" israel and that u shouldnt do the same, like the nazis did, say no 2 an antisemitic boycott, thats all.Dec 03 02:33
schestowitzbtw ur aware that israel has a 20% non-jewish minority since over 50 years, with full civil right, like every israelian citizen (and more rights then every arabian citizen in every arabian countries)? this "persecution"-myth is a mythDec 03 02:33
schestowitz"Dec 03 02:33
schestowitz"Dec 03 02:33
schestowitzWhy do you say a boycott is anti-semitic? What if anything, does it have to do with semitism?Dec 03 02:33
schestowitzThe many news I have read about Israel and their vile acts against Gazans/Palestinians must all be lies then?Dec 03 02:33
schestowitzBtw. do you know who Rachel Corrie was, and why she was there, and who bulldozed over her while illegally destroying Palestinian crops and homes? You are honestly saying that same bullshit isn't still going on?Dec 03 02:33
schestowitzI do believe that based on what I have learned about Israel, I have the right to decide if they are persecuting or not.Dec 03 02:33
schestowitzBut since you'll no doubt pull the anti-semitic card whenever someone says anything bad about Israel, this conversation is not going to pan-out to much. So I'll quit here. I have no interest to lose my sleep over it.Dec 03 02:33
schestowitz"Dec 03 02:33
schestowitz"no palestine person is "persecuted" because of beeing palestinian and i dont take the card because u critizes israel, i took it, because ur using double messures and judge israel different then any other state and propatize nearly the same like the german nazis, if u learned anything about israel, why dont u say nothing about the civil rights in israel in opposition 2 any arabian state? thats double messures, if u cant sleep u Dec 03 02:33
schestowitzmight not sleep because of the hundred thousands killed in syria"Dec 03 02:34
schestowitz"Dec 03 02:34
schestowitz"double messures"Dec 03 02:34
schestowitzNot sure what you mean with that. If you mean double standards that's exactly what you are doing when you say we can't criticize Israel because according to you, other countries are doing bad and evil stuff too.Dec 03 02:34
schestowitzThe double standard is yours, because you believe I am only boycotting Israel "because it is a jewish state" and not because I see them doing bad stuff. You seem to think I don't know anything good about Israel and I'm only after it because of the bad stuff. You may be right, and Israel may be a heaven on earth, but that still doesn't make all the bad stuff go away. Be it any other country and I would not judge them any differently.Dec 03 02:34
schestowitzI do think however that people are free to boycott Israeli products for what they see Israel is doing wrong. But calling them anti-semitic for that doesn't make them so. People can boycott US products too, without being anti-American, or French products without being anti-French. Hell you might want to boycott Finnish products because you think Finland is doing something wrong, but that doesn't make you anti-Finnish. It only shows Dec 03 02:34
schestowitzyou care for what you believe is right.Dec 03 02:34
schestowitz"Dec 03 02:34
schestowitz"holy shit, where did i said, that u cant critizes israel????? where did i say that israel is heaven on earth????? the point is that there no other boycott movement currently, except against israel, so we could ask, why, right? when we see how the situation in israel is, compared 2 the other conflict in that region, we have 2 realize, israel is defintly not worst then syria or egypt or lebanon or iraq or yemen or turkey, but o dont Dec 03 02:34
schestowitzwant 2 boycott syria, egypt, lebanon, yemen, turkey and so on, WHY?"Dec 03 02:34
schestowitz"I will refrain from fighting with Batman about Walmart. :-)"Dec 03 02:34
schestowitz"yes, the democratic state israel is like the company walmart oO"Dec 03 02:34
schestowitzWhile I condemn the actions of the current Israel government (ring wing), I urge people to explore the roots of the BSD movement (right wing and Hamas-like, aiming to exterminate Israel as a whole, nothing short of that) and to also remember that not every Israeli company agrees with its government (same in the US, where Congress approval rate is just at NINE percent). The Walmat analogy is not applicable because states are not Dec 03 02:38
schestowitzcorporations and they are managed differently. If we are to boycott Israeli over its government's abuses, the  we must also boycott several other nations (which would be hard to boycott and may also include China).Dec 03 02:38

schestowitzSo we should complain to the OEM's and not google about taking the open source calendar app and replacing it with a proprietary one (not BSD)? And replacing the fully open source browser with Chrome? And the open source gallery app with a closed source one? And the camera? And the open source music app with a proprietary music app? And the search app? And the default mail app? And the SMS app? And the keyboard? Etc.Dec 05 01:45
schestowitzThat's not even mentioning apps like Gmail, Maps, Talk, and YouTube which have been fully proprietary from day 1.Dec 05 01:45
schestowitzGosh. Google really obviously does love open source. I'm sure their patches to the kernel are far more altruistic than Microsoft's Hyper V patches. And I'm sure GSoC would never be a publicity piece to win over otherwise privacy conscious geeks, a la Microsofts hideous Codeplex.Dec 05 01:45
schestowitzHow different indeed.Dec 05 01:45
schestowitzThe first point that seems to be being missed is that I'm not arguing that Microsoft is the good guy in this at all. I'll fully concur with you that they're evil a-holes. Sometimes though, sadly, there isn't an equally matched "good" side, just because there's a "bad" one. I would argue there are many good companies (Kolabora, Whisper Systems, The Darkmauil Alliance). They're just much smaller.Dec 05 01:45
schestowitzThe second point that's being missed is that this discussion started out not just about who's more open source / MS/Google, but also a discussion about whether either company realistically has values compatible with FOSS. I would argue that Google's complete disrespect for privacy - collecting everything in centralized databases in an age where it's known that governments can request copies of it all, is fundamentally anti freedom /Dec 05 01:45

schestowitz"it was a question, but i would be curous 2 hear a real answer, why do people think that boycotting israel is not antisemitic? or is there somewehre a campaign 2 boycott turkey, iran, the usa, congo, china, india, pakistan (remember the cashmir-conflict), marocco (ever heard about west-sahara?)"Dec 03 02:30
schestowitz"If I boycott English goods because I condemn the country's occupation of the northern Irish counties am I necessarily anti-Anglo or simply expressing opposition to the government's behaviour in that colony?

schestowitz"Dec 03 02:31
schestowitzmurdeRED dreams, I will happily answer your question. But it will probably be my only answer, as I don't really want to engage in this unfruitful discussion you're trying to start:Dec 03 02:31
schestowitzI have nothing against jews, if fact quite the contrary. And yes, I also try to avoid products from other places run by governments that are acting bad. That doesn't make me anti muslim, anti christian or anti whatever-some-people-happen-to-believe-in-in-some-of-these-states.Dec 03 02:31
schestowitzThe product in question is from Israel. I thought it was worth mentioning for those who cares about that. I'm sorry if you feel I am thereby also obliged to let everyone know that iPhones are produced by slave-like labour in China and so on.Dec 03 02:31
schestowitzIn fact, I own a CompyLab product and other things made i Israel (and that doesn't suddenly make me pro Jewish), and several other products made under other unethical circumstances. Nobody's perfect.Dec 03 02:31

schestowitz"when u use double messures, yes, turkey is occupying the half of cyprus, inculding ethnic cleansing (REAL ethnic cleansing, not like in the westbank) morrocco has occupied the westsahara, india a part of cashmir, but there is no boycott movement, even enemie 2 israel like finkelstein and chomsky had 2 confess that this is very obvious that only the one single jewish state is faced an international boycott-movement, very similar 2 Dec 03 02:32
schestowitzthe sa (nazis) in the 30ies in germany. anyway, this bds-movement is not about "the behavior towards the "palestine" people", itz about the existence of one jewish state, about the pure existence of israel"Dec 03 02:32

schestowitz"Dec 03 02:32
schestowitzmurdeRED dreams, from your own posts and reshares it seems your not even a fan of religion. I wonder then why you feel the need equate actions against Israel to being anti jewish. To me it has nothing to do with religion.Dec 03 02:32

schestowitz"But unless you boycott every other country too, boycotting Israel is anti-semitic?"Dec 03 02:33
schestowitz"Dec 03 02:33
schestowitzusing different messsures against the only jewish state which is factial threatend by extinction, yes, and like i said, even chomsky and finkelstein had announce their scepticism about that"Dec 03 02:33
schestowitz"So what you are basically saying Israel should be allowed to persecute Palestinians with no accountability what so ever? We should all turn a blind eye to what Israel is doing because it is "threatened with extinction", or simply because they are Jewish?'Dec 03 02:33
schestowitz"Dec 03 02:34
schestowitzno, where did i said that? i only said, that u cant ignore the existing thread and the antisemitism, wehn u "judge" israel and that u shouldnt do the same, like the nazis did, say no 2 an antisemitic boycott, thats all.Dec 03 02:34
schestowitzbtw ur aware that israel has a 20% non-jewish minority since over 50 years, with full civil right, like every israelian citizen (and more rights then every arabian citizen in every arabian countries)? this "persecution"-myth is a mythDec 03 02:34
schestowitz"Dec 03 02:34
schestowitz"Dec 03 02:34
schestowitzWhy do you say a boycott is anti-semitic? What if anything, does it have to do with semitism?Dec 03 02:34
schestowitzThe many news I have read about Israel and their vile acts against Gazans/Palestinians must all be lies then?Dec 03 02:34
schestowitzBtw. do you know who Rachel Corrie was, and why she was there, and who bulldozed over her while illegally destroying Palestinian crops and homes? You are honestly saying that same bullshit isn't still going on?Dec 03 02:34
schestowitzI do believe that based on what I have learned about Israel, I have the right to decide if they are persecuting or not.Dec 03 02:34
schestowitzBut since you'll no doubt pull the anti-semitic card whenever someone says anything bad about Israel, this conversation is not going to pan-out to much. So I'll quit here. I have no interest to lose my sleep over it.Dec 03 02:34
schestowitz"Dec 03 02:34
schestowitz"no palestine person is "persecuted" because of beeing palestinian and i dont take the card because u critizes israel, i took it, because ur using double messures and judge israel different then any other state and propatize nearly the same like the german nazis, if u learned anything about israel, why dont u say nothing about the civil rights in israel in opposition 2 any arabian state? thats double messures, if u cant sleep u Dec 03 02:34
schestowitzmight not sleep because of the hundred thousands killed in syria"Dec 03 02:34
schestowitz"Dec 03 02:34
schestowitz"double messures"Dec 03 02:34
schestowitzNot sure what you mean with that. If you mean double standards that's exactly what you are doing when you say we can't criticize Israel because according to you, other countries are doing bad and evil stuff too.Dec 03 02:34
schestowitzThe double standard is yours, because you believe I am only boycotting Israel "because it is a jewish state" and not because I see them doing bad stuff. You seem to think I don't know anything good about Israel and I'm only after it because of the bad stuff. You may be right, and Israel may be a heaven on earth, but that still doesn't make all the bad stuff go away. Be it any other country and I would not judge them any differently.Dec 03 02:34
schestowitzI do think however that people are free to boycott Israeli products for what they see Israel is doing wrong. But calling them anti-semitic for that doesn't make them so. People can boycott US products too, without being anti-American, or French products without being anti-French. Hell you might want to boycott Finnish products because you think Finland is doing something wrong, but that doesn't make you anti-Finnish. It only shows Dec 03 02:35
schestowitzyou care for what you believe is right.Dec 03 02:35
schestowitz"Dec 03 02:35
schestowitz"holy shit, where did i said, that u cant critizes israel????? where did i say that israel is heaven on earth????? the point is that there no other boycott movement currently, except against israel, so we could ask, why, right? when we see how the situation in israel is, compared 2 the other conflict in that region, we have 2 realize, israel is defintly not worst then syria or egypt or lebanon or iraq or yemen or turkey, but o dont Dec 03 02:35
schestowitzwant 2 boycott syria, egypt, lebanon, yemen, turkey and so on, WHY?"Dec 03 02:35
schestowitz"I will refrain from fighting with Batman about Walmart. :-)"Dec 03 02:35
schestowitz"yes, the democratic state israel is like the company walmart oO"Dec 03 02:35
schestowitzWhile I condemn the actions of the current Israel government (ring wing), I urge people to explore the roots of the BSD movement (right wing and Hamas-like, aiming to exterminate Israel as a whole, nothing short of that) and to also remember that not every Israeli company agrees with its government (same in the US, where Congress approval rate is just at NINE percent). The Walmat analogy is not applicable because states are not Dec 03 02:38
schestowitzcorporations and they are managed differently. If we are to boycott Israeli over its government's abuses, the  we must also boycott several other nations (which would be hard to boycott and may also include China).Dec 03 02:38

schestowitzSo we should complain to the OEM's and not google about taking the open source calendar app and replacing it with a proprietary one (not BSD)? And replacing the fully open source browser with Chrome? And the open source gallery app with a closed source one? And the camera? And the open source music app with a proprietary music app? And the search app? And the default mail app? And the SMS app? And the keyboard? Etc.Dec 05 01:46
schestowitzThat's not even mentioning apps like Gmail, Maps, Talk, and YouTube which have been fully proprietary from day 1.Dec 05 01:46
schestowitzGosh. Google really obviously does love open source. I'm sure their patches to the kernel are far more altruistic than Microsoft's Hyper V patches. And I'm sure GSoC would never be a publicity piece to win over otherwise privacy conscious geeks, a la Microsofts hideous Codeplex.Dec 05 01:46
schestowitzHow different indeed.Dec 05 01:46
schestowitzThe first point that seems to be being missed is that I'm not arguing that Microsoft is the good guy in this at all. I'll fully concur with you that they're evil a-holes. Sometimes though, sadly, there isn't an equally matched "good" side, just because there's a "bad" one. I would argue there are many good companies (Kolabora, Whisper Systems, The Darkmauil Alliance). They're just much smaller.Dec 05 01:46
schestowitzThe second point that's being missed is that this discussion started out not just about who's more open source / MS/Google, but also a discussion about whether either company realistically has values compatible with FOSS. I would argue that Google's complete disrespect for privacy - collecting everything in centralized databases in an age where it's known that governments can request copies of it all, is fundamentally anti freedom /Dec 05 01:46
