    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
