BDS added this section to their boycott page and I think people really need to read it:

please remember, pushing unorganized boycotts without carefully fact-checking every company in the list can be actively HARMFUL to the boycott movement.

hope you don't mind me adding: here's a list from the website about which companies to target our boycotts at right now:

i think the most annoying thing about being perceived as the single point origin of doge meme is now less the problem itself (can easily just point to an explainer) and more than the kind of people who are into dogecoin keep following my twitter account when it comes up

my objection to two-state solutions in israel stems less from a principled universal commitment to "decolonisation" maximalism and more (but not exclusively) from the facts that a) israel has repeatedly demonstrated its inability to accept compromise on any long timescales and b) what "compromises" israeli leaders have historically been willing to offer at even the heights of magnanimity have been insultingly lopsided to a degree no zionist would for a minute entertain were the tables flipped

if arafat had finagled an agreed upon "peace process" based around cutting up israel into an inland archipelago of jewish islets surrounded by a contiguous region controlled and patrolled by the PLO, it would not have taken yigal amir to scuttle popular israeli support. if at camp david he had insisted on retaking jerusalem and bisecting israel with a highway from gaza to the west bank, to be militarily shut down as palestinian leadership saw fit, you know damn well ehud barak would have said fuck it

the problem isnt simply with the abstract concept of a two-state solution, its that the concrete articulations of such a "solution" have always looked a lot more like israeli expansionism with a funny little hat than two sovereign states on equal footing, and there is no reason to believe future proposals will not follow a similar pattern unless drastic efforts are taken to reduce israels bargaining power
