I don't know anything about BashSquare, but the developer is Ahmed Bashbash, a Palestinian software engineer from Gaza residing in Hungary.

Here's the About page:

As far as what's on the boycott list, it follows the official boycott list from my knowledge and gives an explanation on why a brand is boycotted

It works without camera access if you have no need to scan barcodes, it does need network to access the boycott list information. It doesn't need notification or sensor access to work. At least on grapheneos

You might find this interesting as it goes into the hypocrisy of the situation.

You'll probably be better off asking this sort of question in one of the Palestine comms, where you have a more nuanced discussion about how Hezbollah was created, their militant actions against Zionism, part of the Lebanese Parliament, and what the flag can mean to different groups; instead of the thought terminating cliché of 'they are considered a terrorist organization by the government and therefore any support of them in supporting terrorism.' Despite the unconditional support these governments have for Israel, who by any definition of terrorism has done far far more magnitudes of such than any resistance organization created as a by product of the violent settler colonialism of Zionism. Plus, western governments have historically brandished any resistance against colonialism as terrorists, including the IRA, Vietcong, FLN, ANC (Nelson Mandala), and many more.

Hezbollah's actions in Syria are definitely unacceptable, their actions against Israel is another matter entirely

All of them have been bombed. Most are no longer even partially operational, and even then that's without the medical supplies also cut off from Israeli's blockade

GDF has a great video on how the Israeli invasion and civil war led to the creation of Hezbollah as a militant resistance

And the BDS campaign against Apartheid South Africa was aimed to end the Apartheid State

Germany continues to support fascism. Only they've outsourced it with Zionism, where the untermensch are Palestinians, Arabs, and Muslims

InfluenceWatch is funded by the heritage foundation, which also worked on Project 2025. You really didn't even check the website you're viewing? You just saw your own preconceived bias confirmed and left it at that without any further scrutiny?

I wish I could like DIS, but every season I've been disappointed in the plot points and character writing. It could've been so good

 

Yes

Oh, yeah in terms of what expansionist actions Israel can get away with, there's yet to be a limit. Even at the anger of the US State Dept. Yet America still stays committed to supporting Israel despite how often Israel abuses that partnership, since America still benefits off of the destabilization of the region.

It's definitely a death cult. Israel's overzealous expansionist aims are completely unsustainable and will lead to collapse, along with it's committed ally the US (and maybe some other Western countries)

No, AIPAC does not steer the interests of the State Department. They do all benefit, and AIPAC plays a role in that. My point is that Israel is not the one in control of US foreign policy in the region.

I'm not saying you're doing this here, but some people try to paint AIPAC as in control of the US as a way to frame the conspiracy theory that 'Jews control the world,' as the US is the main superpower globally and has much hegemonic control over the globe. Of course, they also intentionally conflate Judaism and Zionism in that process (which I don't see you doing here). The reason I stress that AIPAC is not in control of the US State Department, is both because it sidelines the role of the US in the Zionist project since the 60's, and to dispel that kind of conspiracy theory.

Here, GDF has an in depth analysis on why has and continues to US supports Israel: Part 1 and Part 2. The short answer is money, but the long answer is well worth the watch

 

A senior Hamas official told Drop Site that the group received a direct commitment from Donald Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, that two days after the release of U.S. citizen and Israeli soldier Edan Alexander, the Trump administration would compel Israel to lift the Gaza blockade and allow humanitarian aid to enter the territory. Witkoff, according to the official, also promised that Trump would make a public call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and for negotiations aimed at achieving a “permanent ceasefire.”

“It was a deal,” said Basem Naim, a member of Hamas’s political bureau who has previously engaged in direct talks with U.S. officials. He said the pledge was made by “Witkoff, himself.” In an interview with Drop Site, Naim said the agreement was: “If we release [Alexander], Trump will speak out thanking Hamas for its gesture, obliging Israel on the second day to open the borders and allow aid to come into Gaza, and [Trump would] call for an immediate ceasefire and to go for negotiations to end the war.”

“He did nothing of this,” Naim added. “They didn't violate the deal. They threw it in the trash.”

While Witkoff, according to Hamas, had promised the U.S. would facilitate the lifting of Israel’s blockade on Gaza two days after Alexander’s release, the U.S. appeared to completely abandon the agreement. On May 13, the day after Hamas freed Alexander, Israel launched a massive series of air strikes on the European Hospital in Khan Younis, killing 28 Palestinians and wounding dozens of others. Israel claimed the target of the strike was Mohammed Sinwar, the brother of the late political leader of Hamas, Yahya Sinwar. Mohammed Sinwar assumed command of Al Qassam Brigades, Hamas’s armed wing, after Israel assassinated its previous commanders Mohammed Deif and Marwan Issa.

Naim said he is not optimistic a deal will be reached unless Trump forces Israel’s hand “If [Netanyahu] still enjoys impunity from the Americans and the Western countries, and the feeling in the international community is that he can” violate agreements, Naim said, then negotiations are pointless. “As long as Israel has a free hand and behaves as a spoiled boy, as a rogue state, they can do it again and again.”
