It was removed because of language used in the description which has been fixed. It was not removed because of what it did or what it was for.
There are plenty of legit things to get mad about. This wasn’t one of them.
So has the app been put back since the issue was fixed?
I searched for it and didn’t see it but one of the top results is “Boycott - Israeli Products”
The app sadly doesn’t appear to be FOSS and thus not on F-Droid, but I did check it out. Streisand effect? Or not apparently it was removed over semantics.
Just a reminder that folks are encouraged to review the rules in the sidebar. It’s okay to disagree, but please keep it civil (rule 8). Thanks!
It’s still on ApkPure and alike, so just another reason to avoid Play Store for net-neutrality.
I do not have any political opinion about it and try to keep myself away from the subject, but Play Store removels of non-virus apps are just Google shooting itself in the foot… again… 😅

Good! This is discrimination against a people group and against companies who are being unfairly targeted.
Imagine if this app let you avoid companies that supported Black people? It wouldn’t be tolerated for one second.
This is exactly the same. Well done Google.
If Israeli wasn’t murdering Palestinians regularly, there would be no need for such an app. Imagine that.
They aren’t murdering Palestinians. It’s war and Hamas hide behind citizens
The IDF has a long tradition of using excessive force and not caring about collateral damage and deaths of innocent civilians. I don’t believe that’s changed overnight. https://www.hrw.org/news/2017/06/04/israel-50-years-occupation-abuses
I suppose Hamas was hiding behind this Palestinian, too? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/apr/10/video-appears-show-cheers-israeli-sniper-shoots-palestinian
The way I see it, claiming Hamas is hiding behind citizens is just an excuse for the IDF to murder two Palestinians for every Hamas fighter, without stressing their conscience: https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/05/middleeast/israel-hamas-military-civilian-ratio-killed-intl-hnk/index.html
The blood of innocents is on their hands and people like you, supporting them. Hamas, the IDF, the Israeli government… All murderers or complicit thereof.

Will they also block apps that help you boycott russian or chinese companies?
I kinda wanna make an app to boycott Xhina, except when you launch it it just says “throw your phone away”.
True true. Almost everything is made in china in some way or form.
Most normal liberal
No they’re the bad guys

Every single time I get called a tankie for having basic standards (like don’t be racist) it pushes me further and further to the left.

I think this is a click bail title. I’m pretty sure it was antisemitic.
From what I’ve read recently, any criticism of the state of Israel is antisemetic now and the Jews Bernie Sanders and Jon Steward are apparently the biggest antisemites of all.
Uh, can we just treat each other with respect? The Jewish population around the world have no control over Israel.
Please stop the hate
You should talk to those people about that who make the ridiculous accusation that Americans Jewish people criticizing Israeli politics are antisemetic.
Do you condone the IDF?
Agreed. I’d love for Israelis to stop the hate. They are some of the biggest racists on the planet, see violent settlers encouraged by their own government.
Let’s treat Palestinians with respect. Let’s treat Jewish people around the world with respect. Let’s also give Israel’s government the respect it deserves, similar to the respect we give to apartheid South Africa or the Nazi regime.
similar to the respect we give to apartheid South Africa
Already the case. Western governments loved apartheid South Africa.
