    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.

        Sodastream is located in settled territory, and therefore an active participant in the settler-colonial project.

          They moved there factory out of the west bank, after heavy protest. Unless your referring to “Israel proper” as settled territory, which it is, but so is the u.s.

        SodaStream is still subject to boycott by the global, Palestinian-led BDS movement for Palestinian rights. Its new factory is actively complicit in Israel’s policy of displacing the indigenous Bedouin-Palestinian citizens of Israel in the Naqab (Negev). SodaStream’s mistreatment of and discrimination against Palestinian workers is not forgotten either.

        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?

            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.

      Given so much you know about the world comes from corporations, how do you determine what’s true and what’s a lie? Just based on your feelings which were formed by social media algorithms?

        Based on videos of people being brutalized, news articles, podcasts, conversations with others. There’s no algo on Lemmy and I don’t consume any other social media.
