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

        Well yes, but “I don’t want to buy American but European instead and the reason is that Europe supports Israel” would be a weird stance because the US too has been supportive of Israel historically, regardless of where people are from.

          That’s not how I read the OP. It was more “I want to buy European, but I’m wary that by doing it I might continue to support Israel.”

            I would prefer my dollars go to the most ethical countries sure.

              Disclaimer that I’m not from the EU, but it’s a financial union, so does it really make a difference?

              Edit: does it make a difference which EU country is supported, not whether personal consumption choices matter

        The primary purpose of this community is to buy European.

        I would’ve thought that was obvious.
