Regarding the US I agree. One should not do business with Alphabet either and it would be proper to apply sanctions. This is the response I would have preferred from the EU, rather than some tariffs.
Israel does not represent the jews or judaism, and it is antisemitic to claim otherwise.
Maybe let jews speak of what represents them. Definite majority of jews have direct family connection to Israel as well as cultural ties.
If 75% of Israel’s population are jews, then who do you refer to, when you identify the people of Israel with their government? Do you mean the Arabs, the Druze and the Samaritans? Probably not.
I think most jews have refused to do aliyah, and jews are a common sight in protests against US-Israeli atrocities.
I also think you mean israeli palestinians, not "Arabs", which is a slur in everyday israeli discourse. It's a society with the informal slogan 'death to arabs', as you probably know.
Most israeli jews agree with apartheid and the genocidal politics of the state they live under. There are regular polls that show this, e.g. from the Israel Democracy Institute. Very few take action against the state on this issue, and the large anti-Bibi protests are general opposition protests, they basically want a deal to get hostages and prisoners out, and then resumed genocide, i.e. the line of the parliamentary opposition.
so it it state of israel, or society with a slogan death to arabs? can you decide? For me it’s clear from everything you wrote, so don’t sugar it up with "it’s about state". Here you clearly blame majority of Israelis of wanting a genocide. A generalization like this with so few arguments show your actual true motivation – hate against israelis and jews.
Among israeli jews that's the mainstream position. According to recent polling only 3% say that it would be immoral to ethnically cleanse the Gaza strip, and 80% support it.
You'll come across the slogan a lot if you start to consume israeli mass media.
Israel is more ethnically diverse than almost every country in Europe[1], what are you talking about?
Regardless, do you want us to think that it's fine for the Poles to have Poland, the English to have England, the Castilians/Basques/Catalans/etc to have Spain, etc, but it's somehow wrong for the Jews to have a country?
Would you have preferred they remained scattered across the globe to be at the whims of the majority Christian and Muslim populations in other countries? Historically that arrangement always ended up very badly for the Jews. I'm old enough to remember a time when western leftists saw eye to eye with the Jews about this, rather than take the side of fundamentalist dictatorships and radical Islamists.
I wouldn't be surprised if you consider yourself a progressive, but the comments you posted on this thread clearly show your biases and bigotry. Be better.
It is antisemitic to claim that Israel represents the jews or judaism. The ties between zionism, which is a predominantly christian movement, and antisemitism have also always been quite close.
Why is it fine with you to annihilate the palestinians to make space for the rather antisemitic project to drive jews out of their homelands? The british antisemitic colonialists didn't care, of course, they just wanted the jews out of Europe. Same goes for evangelical christian zionists, that also commonly see it as a perk that muslims die, and don't consider the much older christian communities in Palestine to be real christians. Where do you come from when you join this pretty distasteful movement?
As for "diverse" in Israel, there's a lot of state persecution of minorities, on racial, ethnic as well as religious grounds. Political minorities are also persecuted, you might even get harassed by the state for putting likes on other people's defense of international law on social media, and politicians like Ofer Cassif are constantly harassed and threatened by attempts to bar him from the knesset.
As for "radical Islamists", the israeli establishment is rather cosy with the genocidal and very islamist regime in the UAE. They're also cosy with european fascists and antisemites, because their interests align with zionist ideology, for example expulsion of jews from Europe and the eradication of "weak" yiddisch speaking diaspora jews and related historical revisionism regarding the Holocaust.
Against this backdrop and the ongoing genocide and several occupations I find it surprising that a global corporation decides to invest in israeli business on the scale of tens of billions of dollars.
Or rather, kind of weird to be identifying people with their governments, and to do this only for Jews.
