It was removed because of language used in the description which has been fixed. It was not removed because of what it did or what it was for.
There are plenty of legit things to get mad about. This wasn’t one of them.
So has the app been put back since the issue was fixed?
I searched for it and didn’t see it but one of the top results is “Boycott - Israeli Products”
The app sadly doesn’t appear to be FOSS and thus not on F-Droid, but I did check it out. Streisand effect? Or not apparently it was removed over semantics.
Just a reminder that folks are encouraged to review the rules in the sidebar. It’s okay to disagree, but please keep it civil (rule 8). Thanks!
It’s still on ApkPure and alike, so just another reason to avoid Play Store for net-neutrality.
I do not have any political opinion about it and try to keep myself away from the subject, but Play Store removels of non-virus apps are just Google shooting itself in the foot… again… 😅
Good! This is discrimination against a people group and against companies who are being unfairly targeted.
Imagine if this app let you avoid companies that supported Black people? It wouldn’t be tolerated for one second.
This is exactly the same. Well done Google.
If Israeli wasn’t murdering Palestinians regularly, there would be no need for such an app. Imagine that.
They aren’t murdering Palestinians. It’s war and Hamas hide behind citizens
The IDF has a long tradition of using excessive force and not caring about collateral damage and deaths of innocent civilians. I don’t believe that’s changed overnight. https://www.hrw.org/news/2017/06/04/israel-50-years-occupation-abuses
I suppose Hamas was hiding behind this Palestinian, too? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/apr/10/video-appears-show-cheers-israeli-sniper-shoots-palestinian
The way I see it, claiming Hamas is hiding behind citizens is just an excuse for the IDF to murder two Palestinians for every Hamas fighter, without stressing their conscience: https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/05/middleeast/israel-hamas-military-civilian-ratio-killed-intl-hnk/index.html
The blood of innocents is on their hands and people like you, supporting them. Hamas, the IDF, the Israeli government… All murderers or complicit thereof.
You really need to change your reading habits: you’re reading all the trash left leaning media who are very often reporting fake and biased news.
- Human Rights Watch is a joke. Completely over exaggerated and non factual. I wouldn’t give them the time of day.
- The sniper was most likely a know, wanted criminal or Hamas terrorist. Which is why they took a child with hoping the child would die instead of the scumbag terrorist. IDF doesn’t just randomly shoot innocent civilians. IDF are very strict about that an every case of shooting by an IDF solider is investigated to be sure it was justified. If not, the soldier is prosecuted under the law. This is fact.
- The commander speaking with CNN is telling you that for CITY COMBAT where Hamas PURPOSEFULLY shoot from families homes, hospitals, schools etc, the ratio of harmed civilians is very, very, very low. Do you know hard hard it is to shoot a terrorist hiding in the middle of a crowd of people, shooting from that position? To kill them and possibly only 1 or 2 people standing right next to him is very difficult. That proves the IDF is taking extreme measures to be very careful before firing. They should be commended for that. In a war, that is not required by any Convention. Israel are going above and beyond.
The UK, US and allies killed 2 MILLION INNOCENT German civilians with their bombings in WW2 - they never took the care that IDF is, they just bombed indiscriminately. The allies never got War Crime allegations for that did they?
Please engage you rational mind and don’t just believe everything you read.
Your confirmational bias is strong to the point of delusion, and you’re using it to justify murder and indiscriminate killing of innocents.
I’ll await any proof you have of your statement #2. Otherwise, you’re simply making up fairy tales to justify your own beliefs.
You see what you want to see, and nothing more. May that weigh on your soul and you be judged accordingly for it.
My conscience is very clear. You neither understand history (thousands of years worth in this case), nor theology (it’s at the heart of this conflict) nor do you understand principles of warfare. Neither do you understand the principle of what goes around comes around. You live in a little liberal bubble has that has no bearing on reality. Do you even know Who your maker is?
Explain this video, the shooting of an unarmed man who posed no threat: https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/05/middleeast/mentally-disabled-man-shot-west-bank/index.html
“The IDF is investigating themselves”… and find no wrongdoing, I’m sure, based on past history.

Is Reuters a “trash left leaning media” in your mind? Are they lying as well, or how else do you justify bombing a refugee camp?
Go ahead. I’m waiting.
This link doesn’t work. They must have taken it down because it’s fake
It doesn’t matter. You’re either trolling or have your head stuck so far up your own arse, the only daylight you’re seeing is from between the gaps in your teeth. Anything that goes against your beliefs is scorned and discarded as “leftist lies”. Despite visual evidence, you’ll make up wild fairy tales to justify your position.
I can only pray your eyes and mind open in the future to the suffering of your fellow human.
Why don’t we throw the UN into the mix, too? I suppose their database of companies operating on Palestinian land illegally seized by Israeli settlers is left leaning trash, too? https://digitallibrary.un.org/record/1475002?ln=en
The UN is the biggest discriminator against Israel, on the planet. They are very pro-palestinian and always discriminate against Israel no matter how much evidence Israel sshows them. Bunch of blind bureaucrats. That’s why at a recent UN meeting all the Israeli contingent wore Yello Stars - because the UN refuses to condemn the massacre of October 7th by Hamas. That shows you what dogs the UN are.
And all the journalists?
If you stand in the middle of a warzone you’re probably going to get shot by someone’s street stray bullet…
You mean the stray tank shells Israel deliberately targeted two groups of journalists with after the journalists switched from filming to Lebanon, while clearly marked as press?
I’m sure there is a valid explanation. For example we now know that many of these “journalists” are actually working for Hamas to promote propaganda. Could be they were sitting right inside a room/area with their Hamas buddies and Israel shot at Hamas and these “journalists” got killed n the process. You cannot believe anything that come from Hamas, Al Jazeera or Palestinians in general - this lot lie through their teeth all the time because it suits their agenda. Lying to non Muslims to deceive them in order to achieve their goals is allowed in Islam. The world is being lied to alot from these people. Also, Al Jazeera is owned by the president/prince/king of Qatar who is big buddies with the Hamas leaders…
It was a Reuters journalist.
Here is the wiki link, it has numerous citations under the reference tab.
What does Reuters have to do with Al Jazeera.
As far as being lied to, I have the IDF saying that the IDF has lied in the past but not this time, and I am still waiting on 40 decapitated babies.
How do you defend them now?
Will they also block apps that help you boycott russian or chinese companies?
I kinda wanna make an app to boycott Xhina, except when you launch it it just says “throw your phone away”.
True true. Almost everything is made in china in some way or form.
No they’re the bad guys
Removed by mod
I think this is a click bail title. I’m pretty sure it was antisemitic.
From what I’ve read recently, any criticism of the state of Israel is antisemetic now and the Jews Bernie Sanders and Jon Steward are apparently the biggest antisemites of all.
Uh, can we just treat each other with respect? The Jewish population around the world have no control over Israel.
Please stop the hate
You should talk to those people about that who make the ridiculous accusation that Americans Jewish people criticizing Israeli politics are antisemetic.
Agreed. I’d love for Israelis to stop the hate. They are some of the biggest racists on the planet, see violent settlers encouraged by their own government.
Let’s treat Palestinians with respect. Let’s treat Jewish people around the world with respect. Let’s also give Israel’s government the respect it deserves, similar to the respect we give to apartheid South Africa or the Nazi regime.
similar to the respect we give to apartheid South Africa
Already the case. Western governments loved apartheid South Africa.
Wasn’t this an app that just boycotted business with ties with Jews? It would be wild if it wouldn’t be deleted
