You're the only one who's only focused on apple here
Use the No Thanks or even join a BDS working group
If your outrage on the non-existant donations is rational, where are your posts for the hundreds of other companies that are using Benevity?
Except Thing 1 and Thing 2 are the same thing. Hundreds of companies are using Benevity and probably also have the same pathway for Israeli/IDF charities donations, yet you're singling out Apple.
So your "Does not care about Thing 2" is "you don't care about other companies possibly donating to Israeli/IDF charities through Benevity"?
You're the one making up that distinction.
Why is a post about Apple's matching of donations to Israel about Apple? Wow, what a brain teaser.
This post is about supporting the Apple employees just demands to stop and investigate these donations. You're just concern trolling over not having the findings of that investigation already available.
I already boycott any company supporting israel and do my part for my local BDS movements. What the fuck are you doing besides running defence for apple here? You sure as hell ignored all the other connections Apple has with Israel.
Having the requirement to know something actually occurred is trolling? That's a bizarre take.
sigh, with zero evidence they ever have.
I'm looking at consistency from your outrage. I'm not seeing it. I don't know if thats because you have an axe to grind specifically with Apple, or if you're letting other people decide for you where outrage should be limited to instead of following the logic to others of the same sin you're accusing Apple of. If your argument fails logically on something I have looked into, which it has on the Benevity angle, then it tells me if I should ignore the rest of your messages for equally sloppy or inadequate personal investigation.
And have you checked to see if the other Benevity-using-companies are on your BDS lists? What is the result? If they're on there what does that tell you? If they're missing what instead does that tell you? I'm looking for you to demonstrate critical thinking to know if I should lend credence to your complains or ignore you because you don't research your claims.
I'm not ignoring those. I'm simply not disputing them. I haven't personally looked into any of them, but those look like much stronger claims with actual possibly evidence than the Benevity angle which you're leaning on hard here for Apple.
