+1. Absolutely. We have done that in my house, and have ended services from ISR providers. |
This isn’t the place for this anti-Israel hatred. But, since you want to go there, I assume you’ve discontinued use of: - Waze - any agricultural products since most farms use pesticide technology from Israel - anything with an intel processor - Skype - never again you should play Guess Who |
I do not use Waze or Skype. I used Fiverr for business and canceled that account to ensure that we do not support genocide. Guess who? It's not 1982 but thanks. And if "anti-Israel hatred" means saying no to genocide, sign me up |
I'm going to Dubai I'm a week and this concern has not even crossed my mind. |
Cool. I promise you use lots of intel processors though, whether you know it or not. Israel thanks you for your support. |
Doha airport is fantastic. Doha is very safe from the point of view of regional conflict. |
Skype was founded by a Swede, Dane and 4 Estonians. Intel was founded by Americans. Most Israeli technology is actually technology misappropriated from other inventors. Typically American. Not only is the Mossad legendary so is Israeli corporate espionage. |
To the original question, I wouldn't avoid transit in Doha or Dubai. I would look carefully at flight routes; in the best of times, flying over Iran isn't ideal. These days, it could get you killed - the Iranians didn't stop civilian air traffic during their recent missile barrage (or in 2020 when they struck US air bases in Iraq - that resulted in an accidental downing of a civilian jet that killed 176 innocents. |
You can put your head in the sand all you want. VOIP was invented by Israelis. Many intel chips, even if the company was founded by Americans, were created by Israelis. “2024 marks 50 years of Intel Israel’s significant and innovative contributions to our life-changing technologies—from the Centrino chip, which enabled the world to use WiFi, to Intel® Core™ processors and artificial intelligence (AI). Intel Israel’s development and manufacturing centers are vital to Intel's success and play an active role in most areas of the company’s global operations.” Thank you for your support of the Israeli people! |
Continue on in your fantasy world. VOIP was Marion Croak "Marian Croak She is best known for developing Voice Over Internet Protocols (VoIP), technology that converts your voice into a digital signal, allowing you to make a call directly from a computer or other digital device. Marian Croak was born in 1955 and raised in New York City."" Intel no matter what you want to believe is a US company. If they do some RD in Israel, so what? Israel was not the engine driving it. Merely a convenient place. If you are that committed to Israel, move there. Show your REAL support. |
Yes, in her frenzy she responded to the wrong person. She should take a beat and breathe before posting. |
Maybe you should move to Gaza if you really want to show your support! And btw, “Alon Cohen ((Hebrew: אלון כהן); born in Israel, 1962) is the co-founder of VocalTec Inc.[1] (1989) and the co-inventor of the Audio Transceiver (U.S. patent 5,825,771)[2] that enabled the creation of Voice Over Networks products and eventually the VoIP industry.” And yes, Intel is a US based company but Israel is more than “a convenient place.” Do you hear yourself speak? |
