Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

It said so on a packaging label so it must be true. What a relief. I was afraid someone was doing genocide, but marketing has proved me wrong.

Do you think the people running the genocide are the same as the people working in the factories to support their loved ones?

At the end of the day, people will always be people, while megalomaniacal leaders are the ones using them to further their own goals.

Agreed. We should be supporting Israelis who recognize and promote that the only solution to peace is harmonious coexistence. Calling it "marketing" seems irrelevant and disingenuous, about as solid an argument as calling "peace and love hippies" fakers.

It is marketing though. It's on the box of a commercial product, what else is it?

Why do they say “Arabs” instead of “Palestinians“?

[–] vashti@feddit.uk 5 points 7 months ago

Israeli Arabs are Israeli citizens, they aren't usually considered Palestinian.

They are using ethnicities, not nationalities. Not that they recognize Palestine as a nation.
