Jeff Ballabon shared the following on his social media regarding the recent app created to assist haters of Israel and the Jewish people in boycotting Israeli products.
“Dear American friends of Jews and Israel.
Our enemies very publicly declare their goal to be genocide – to “finish Hitler’s job” – and they are employing 21st Century technological updates to the 20th Century industrialized version, including the Big Lie* and economic boycott** for their New Holocaust.
If you click on the links below you will see that it’s the same playbook, but the situation today is much more dangerous for the Jews than it was then. While the world – including most Germans – recoiled in horror from Hitler’s lies and tactics, we see today the widespread embrace and celebration of all these identical yet more violent and intense assaults on Jews. A good way to contrast the threat level to Jews and to America is to compare the scope and scale of Kristallnacht*** and the world’s reaction of shock and horror then to the massively larger and more horrific scope and scale of October 7, proudly captured on video and shared on social media, and the world’s reaction of justification and glee now – including in the USA.
There are tens of millions more of you than there are Jews and Israelis on the planet. The genocidal jihadi “Death to America/Death to Israel” crowd just made it easy for you to help the Jews and Israel defend themselves in one way from this global Islamo-Nazi campaign.
Please use this No Thanks app and other such anti-Jew boycott lists and start buying products from its list. Maybe even invest in some of the companies.
Do it quietly, if you prefer. Or, if you want to declare that you stand with the Jewish People, stand against the #NewHolocaust, or even just stand against the violent thugs calling “Death to America,” by all means show your support by sharing your purchases with the #YesThanks hashtag.
Thank You!”

Click here to give a poor review of the app in the Google Play Store.
Not a big deal. Just make another app that allegedly does the same thing and claims that every product made in an Arab country or an anti-Semitic country was made in Israel. That will mess them up.
