I think boycotting is the wrong way to solve this issue. It's better to sit down and have an honest conversation about it. But the conversation has been anything but honest. People don't even know what "from the river to the sea" actually means before shouting it, they think it's some hippy "love and freedom" chant, while it's a call for genocide.

wow great idea, let me just go ahead and sit down with the CEO of Disney so we can have an honest conversation about them sending money to Israel

Ah yes, having a conversation will definitely help the Palestinian people.

They just need to get a good petition going! Or maybe a strongly worded letter signed by some celebrities?

There have been plenty of honest conversations since May 14th 1948 and it has led to this current situation. I would really love for there to be peace but it seems that everyone involved and everyone backing everyone involved is quite heavily invested and continued war in that region.

The children pay the price.
