Buy European

Well, if business does... well, business with countries or other organizations actively involved in crimes against humanity - it really should affect their most prized possession in a negative way - the profit margins.

In Europe it should come down to inspecting individual companies for their conduct and judging how ethical it is - on a scale from Nestle to ethical.

So, for example, if company didn't pull out from Israel (or Russia back in '22) - that's a point in Nestle direction.

If you want to be a thoughtful consumer, it means you got to be thinking about something more than just the price and your perceived use of a product.

There must be some ethical consideration that also influences your purchase. So we need to talk about which ethical considerations are important and not aiding and abetting Israeli crimes through financing their economy or companies that provide them with arms or other military use items, is a quite important ethical consideration.

It is also a legal obligation as the ICJ ruled https://www.icj-cij.org/sites/default/files/case-related/186/186-20240719-adv-01-00-en.pdf:

278. Taking note of the resolutions of the Security Council and General Assembly, the Court is of the view that Member States are under an obligation not to recognize any changes in the physical character or demographic composition, institutional structure or status of the territory occupied by Israel on 5 June 1967, including East Jerusalem, except as agreed by the parties through negotiations and to distinguish in their dealings with Israel between the territory of the State of Israel and the Palestinian territory occupied since 1967. The Court considers that the duty of distinguishing dealings with Israel between its own territory and the Occupied Palestinian Territory encompasses, inter alia, the obligation to abstain from treaty relations with Israel in all cases in which it purports to act on behalf of the Occupied Palestinian Territory or a part thereof on matters concerning the Occupied Palestinian Territory or a part of its territory; to abstain from entering into economic or trade dealings with Israel concerning the Occupied Palestinian Territory or parts thereof which may entrench its unlawful presence in the territory; to abstain, in the establishment and maintenance of diplomatic missions in Israel, from any recognition of its illegal presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory; and to take steps to prevent trade or investment relations that assist in the maintenance of the illegal situation created by Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory

Now the ICJ ruled on the obligation of states, but the underlying principle is clear. If the states are obliged "to prevent trade or investment relations that assist in the maintenance of the illegal situation created by Israel...", the trade itself is illegal.

I assume most people coming to "buy European" are either not American, considering the primary purpose of this Community is to avoid buying American...
