I feel for them, but there's not much I can do. I voted for parties who don't support zionists and don't support genocide, but they got very few seats. And with the US incessantly sending the zionists arms to continue the slaughter, non-USAmericans can do quite little.
Boycotts. Don't go after the politicians directly, go after their constituents.
Sure.
How?
That's just a list of every US company. It'd be easier to tell me what I dont need to boycot
LOL right? Like it's all a monopoly anyways so that scroll through there was hilarious and depressing and pointless.
The answer seems to just get local and hope your land doesn't have freedom juice under it when it starts really running dry.
Dog I can't even safely buy local because i'm surrounded by racists. Place I'd been stopping for years for a quick breakfast decided firing the employee who called incoming customers "sand n***ers" expecting me to join his hate wasn't worth the effort. Fortunately we have a good chunk of minority owned places but no grocery stores unfortunately.
Oof
steal and vandalize. still not enough, but, you know; something.
Many big corporations such as Nestle and Unilever are heavily invested in israel. Smaller and especially local brands are a great alternative.
If it's difficult to boycott certain products on the list you could ignore it and swap other brands you're not specifically attached to. Even a small reduction in income to companies supporting israel makes a huge difference.
Two categories I found most often connected to israel are junk-food and cosmetics/hygiene products.
Oh good, it has a Play Store app. Solid step in the right direction.
Okay, something like this is all I wanted. I didn't know about this app, which means chances are I'm not the only one. Thanks!
Along with the boycott, you can also contact Representatives and donate to aid organizations (if you live comfortably enough to have that means)

see a 'product of zionist colony' note on a product at the supermarket? throw it out of the fridge/freezer, slash the package, steal it. fuck your local grocery store for being complicit in genocide.
let your congressghouls know that you'll be donating to their most viable opposition if they don't propose serious military action (or at least a blockade) agaisnt zionism.
do both.
vandalize zionist products you see in your daily life. or steal them. spit and scream at zionists. write a paper letter to your congressghoul and say you'll donate a thousand dollars to the first candidate who proposes a blockade or revenge for the americans killed, no questions asked, and knock on doors for your biggest opponent if you don't get on that shit quick.
its not enough. I literally cannot propose doing enough here, not that it's practical. but its more than nothing. more than you're doing now.
Yeah, after John Oliver's segment on the West Bank, covering Hebron, price tag killings, the settlement shenanigans and the treatment of Palestinians by local Israelis, my soul was crushed.
It turns out my society's criticism of the German Reich and its mass purge / genocide machine is not what it did to human beings but who was included among the Lebensunwertes Leben.
Considering how soon after WWII it became British and Israeli policy to displace less-favored persons with more-favored colonists, Europe and the US seems to have learned nothing at all from the affair.
And you know what they say about those who fail to learn from history.
"The lesson of history is no one learns."

....
The Nazis were very open about who inspired them.
It was America's treatment of the mentally ill, the genocide of Natives, race based slavery, and just overall LGBTQ treatment.
It wasn't a secret at the time, but it's rarely taught these days.
American and the allies didn't fight because of what Germany was doing to people, it was because they were invading other countries with no signs of stopping.
Hell, the guy that essentially won the war for the allies was chemically castrated for being gay by England,after the war was over and he was a global hero
If you think WW2 was about human rights, you've been misinformed
No, I thought the Never Again promise was about human rights. And I was misinformed about that as well.
It also raises challenge to the notion of legitimate claim (of anyone to anything), since any of us can be unpersoned by whatever entity has the greatest war machine. It also eliminates even the possibility of government by consent. No one can consent to anything so long as someone is threatening them since that threat is a compelling factor.
Something to think about as we move closer to the development of technologies that can command and organize killer drones by the millions.
Israeli Zionists will tell you with a straight face that Never Again was only applicable to the Jewish people. Everyone else is fair game.
Fuck
