1. Great. Turn it around and use it as promotional tool !
Andre ,   Clichy, France   (03.14.14)
Great. Turn it around and use it as promotional tool ! Let the morons do all the work, and make it a promotional tool for Israeli products: "I love Israel products, technology, science and art". Maybe a layer over it to hack on its database. Sure an Israeli IT company could do something out of that...
2. Finally i can find easily Israeli products to buy!
Daniel ,   Netherlands   (03.14.14)
3. what a great idea!
todd ,   Baltimore   (03.14.14)
This app will be a huge success with the silent majority who want to support Israel, but we just never know which products to choose!
4. When will this end?
Sarah B. ,   U.S.A./Israel   (03.14.14)
I wonder what is the impact of this in our economy. Maybe it would be easier just to relocate the companies to within the Green Line and live a decent life in Israel. I am so fed up of all this.
5. Awesome!
Mike ,   SD   (03.14.14)
I can use this app to find out what companies to support!
6. BDS=Rassist Organisation
M.Ludwig ,   Belgium   (03.14.14)
What this organistion ist doing ist Rassismus pur.I am wondering that the BDS ist not forbidden.
7. The first product the app will tell to boycot ...
Robert ,   Belgium   (03.14.14)
... will be the smartphone or tablet the app is played on. What a bunch of morons.
8. #4 Sarah B. , do not despair, there is hope
Mark B. ,   Amsterdam / Holland   (03.14.14)
I can understand you're fed up with all this. To get things in a right perspective, know that those in favor of BDS think as following: 1. Israel is okay, annexation of Westbank by settlements is not okay. 2. BDS is aimed at products and services made in and delivered from Westbank by settlers and their companies. It is not aimed at products and services made in and delivered from Israel by Israeli citizens and their companies. 3. It will end with a two state solution in which the Westbank and Gaza will become Palestine. And Israel and also it's economy will flourish and shine. The world is waiting but patience is growing thin.
9. now rthey must give up all israeli items meds computers phon
ralph   (03.14.14)
10. This app should be boycotted!
Jerome ,   Basalt, Colorado   (03.14.14)
It was designed and made next to soda stream!
11. BDS boycott
Yossi ,   Israel   (03.14.14)
BDS go to Hell...you low life, losers! Who do you think you are? We're laughing out loud in your face at your dementia....we're moving forward with you or without you!
12. Google Play Store & Apple App Store Do Not Have to Cooperate
Logic ,   Israel   (03.14.14)
Those are the two main outlets for apps and it is worth checking to see if this BDS app violates their terms of service.
13. I WILL be supporting all of those products
k ,   US   (03.14.14)
I cant wait until it is released, anyone who is a supporter of Israel is a company I will support
14. Use the app to track the anti-semites
Joe Fraser ,   MTL Canada   (03.14.14)
15. To Sarah No 4
Mik ,   NZ   (03.14.14)
Take heart Sarah . . This will be very helpful to many of us who support all Israeli companies including those whom BDS have on their list. The list will help us finding new Israeli companies . . That's how bloody stupid those at BDS are . . Many thanks BDS.
16. BDS does not mean underwear, anymore? Guess times change.
Rivkah   (03.14.14)
17. RFC...Anonymous hack of Israel Allenby Bridge CCTV evidence
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (03.14.14)
...showing murder of Jordanian Judge Raed Za’eiter.
18. Thanks BDS - now I'll know all products I want to buy
Alex ,   New York,US   (03.14.14)
19. google and apple have r&d centers in israel
boycott that   (03.14.14)
The apps will have to use Israeli technology as both google and apple have important r&d centers in israel
20. The post at No. 4 is not mine.
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.14.14)
I think it would be much easier simply to tell the BDS adherents "Go ahead -- oh, and by the way, better boycott, divest and sanction your smart phone .... about 80 percent of the chips in it are patents owned by Israelis -- many of whom live in Judea and Samaria" -- they wouldn't want to be hypocritical, now, would they? By the way, little troll -- proper syntax would be "I am so fed up WITH all this ______." Never end a sentence with "this." You've been outed. Now go sit in the corner and play with yourself. That's as much fun as you'll ever have.
21. First product to boycott would be the app.....
Igor ,   USA   (03.14.14)
It will run on google platform, and google has invested billions in Israel. So has apple..
22. #12 - HA! Good point
William ,   Israel   (03.14.14)
Two main channels for smartphone apps by companies who are against limits on Internet and commerce. They will not support a boycott, especially one racially and politically motivated.
23. its time for a zionist "buy israel" app
great idea   (03.14.14)
The haters will concentrate on hate and boycott and Israelis will concentrate on building and growing as always have been. This is why Israel is an advanced democracy and israel's haters are failures
24. Bigotry, Dishonesty, SHAME
Shlomo   (03.14.14)
Can we have an app that identifies the boycotters? I want never to buy from them.
25. #8 Easy for you to say
Mikey ,   TA   (03.14.14)
Easy for you to say in Holland, you don't have rockets and missiles falling on your houses. Do you really think Hamas and Jihad Islami will abide by any peace plan, let alone Fatah/PA who hate Jews too
26. fake Sara B = Mark B
NYC ,   NYC   (03.14.14)
BS dialog. every appeasement o terror only gave way to more terrorism. so all your boycotts and anti-semitism and whatever whatever whatever quick fix is all equal to the same appeasement. the Palestinians are aiming at destroying everything we have. nothing to do with land, and nothing to do with anything it's all about annihilation of the Jews.
27. I already buy as many Israeli
Barney ,   USA   (03.14.14)
Products as possible. This would be a great shopping site but doubt I would download the app.
28. Much easier to buy Blue and White
Ron ,   oc us   (03.14.14)
I need an app to find out who is part of BDS and I can boycott them. I have an Israeli watch, toolbox, wine, hand cream, cookies, preserves and it's all good stuff. Soda Stream is coming as well. Bring on the app.
29. Ilegal in USA
Land Them In Prison   (03.14.14)
This app can not be used in USA. It is illegal. It can trigger charges against the owners and users. Good luck in Orange!
30. Now it truly will be easier to find Jewish products to buy..
r ,   It can be relabeled   (03.14.14)
Great help around Passover.
