Current Affairs Israel is an apartheid state

[Bluerover]

Apologies for being so late to pick up on this - I don't eat McD or BK but I was in Austria last week and was having a chat with a local who told me McDs were down in sales because of supporting Netanyahu's Israel.

I realise this link is February news but perhaps more people who use these outlets might be interested.

Big U.S. food and drink brands are getting hit by the Israel-Hamas war

Companies including Starbucks, McDonald's, and Taco Bell parent Yum! Brands are among them

So if this is true the British 'aid workers' were also working for British intelligence and still the British govt will do nothing

It isn't true, that is just him spinning his usual thing. They were probably security for WCK, and it was probably them who supplied the armoured vehicles.

Meanwhile, GB News have reacted to the killing by Israel of three British citizens by asking - do we need to be more stringent in our support of Israel?

I think there needs to be a difference between support for Israel after 7th Oct and support for Netanyahu who has frankly lost the plot with his dismissive comments regarding this latest tragedy….

The three Britons were all part of their security detail, and were ex-forces. A friend of mine knew John from his work in the Middle East.

So apparently the story now is that they hit the convoy because they thought an armed man was with it. Even the paper once known as the Daily Telavivograph thinks that os a bit off:

Drone pilots had the means to swerve the bombs away, but chose not to

After the first aid worker vehicle was hit, an emergency call was made to the authorities – but it was no use, Israel’s barrage had begun

Neither did America when one of their young female adults got run over killed by IDF bulldozer years back. Just can't see UK halting arms or stopping it's ordnance intelligence.

I’ve got no doubt at all in my mind they deliberately targeted these aid workers. They are heinous criminals.

Bodies of foreign aid workers brought out of Gaza

The bodies of the foreign aid workers killed in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza have been brought to the crossing with Egypt as international outrage simmered over an attack that highlighted the dangers faced by humanitarian staff in the enclave.

Netanyahu's government has really made Israel a rogue state.

I started thinking about the thread title to see how many deaths were attributed to the Apartheid regime. Found this on Wiki (with source footnotes):

"The Truth and Reconciliation Commission found that there were 21,000 deaths from political violence, with 7,000 deaths between 1948 and 1989, and 14,000 deaths and 22,000 injuries in the transition period between 1990 and 1994."

32,975 killed in 6 months by Israel.

Gaza death toll nears 33,000

A total of 32,975 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip since October, the Ministry of Health said today. The ongoing onslaughts have also injured 75,577 Palestinians, …

This is one of the arguments behind not calling it an apartheid; as you correctly point out this is far worse and has lasted for much longer.

So forgive my ignorance. If the UNHR's resolution on stopping exports to Israel is passed, what's next in the process? Or is that effectively stopping the export? Is it enforceable?
