Slightly off tangent but last year appeared this particular ID Nahui Scanner app that scans barcodes and highlights any Russian-made products (released in March 2022 but unfortunately no updates since then). So it basically operates similarly to the aforementioned No Thanks app.
- Well, it's okay to boycott Russia for invading and occupying parts of Ukraine but god forbid you boycott Israel for invading and occupying the entirety of what we know as post 1967 Palestine.
  
  Russia hasn't pre-empted its invasion with decades of screed about how they're owed that land because of the Holocaust and how disagreeing is russophobia
  
  Ukraine didn't fire rockets at Russia and kidnap Russians for decades.
  
  No, but Israel imposed apartheid in the form of a military occupation onto Palestinians for decades.
  
  I don't think you know what Apartheid is sorry

  I'm fairly sure I know what apartheid is.
  
  Would you say Mandela's party knows what Apartheid is?
  
  I don’t think you know what Apartheid is sorry.
  
  Ukraine blew up a major Russian railway a few days ago what are you talking about.
  Ukraine is doing plenty of terrorism against their occupier. Your double standards are showing.
  
  Because they are at war now?
  
  They're not at war bro it's just a "special military operation" . Same thing the israelis have been doing for the last 75 years.
  
  Israel formally declared war on Palestine.
  
  On Palestine? Israel doesn't recognize Palestine.

  They declared war against the government of Palestine, Hamas. There is effectively no difference
  
  Hamas isn't the government of Palestine. That is the Palestinian Authority.
  
  Hamas is the government in Gaza. The Palestinian Authority lost to Hamas who promptly canceled elections forever
  
  Wasn't that in response to the terrorism tho, making that terrorism very much not an act of war? Also Hamas didn't blow up a train line, they shot up a music festival. Your false equivalency is showing.
  
  My only participation in this discussion is clarifying that Israel declared war.
  
  Jeeze, I wonder why ukraine would do such a thing. Is there some sort of beef between Ukraine and Russia?
