    Governments in practice enjoy immunity from private lawsuits.

    The only way for this to have any meaning would be if his government sued them on their behalf, won, then seized some of those government assets from the zionist state under their jurisdiction or moved to have them frozen by friendly nations who complied and handed them over or to arrest relevant officials and extradite them. Needless to say the west will NEVER do this to isn’treal or its intelligence agents, certainly not for fake-China which is only kept around for use as fodder and unsinkable aircraft carrier against real China.

    This company is fucked (well maybe, they’ll probably just rebrand) but this won’t be the end of western fuckery. Let’s not forget the hardware spy implants the NSA put in Cisco gear shipped to China in the early 2000s to mid 2010s (and potentially elsewhere as they were spying on Germany and other “allies”), Cisco protested, might have even launched a lawsuit but there was nothing they could do to stop it or to get compensation from it.

    Huh, I’d been wondering earlier today if it would be possible for Gold Apollo to sue Israel for reputational damages. Guess I have my answer.

    I’m curious how the US will respond to this, if they do at all. On the one hand, there is their unyielding support to Israel. On the other, they are ruled by capitalists, who can’t be happy about this. Although it’s mostly finance and tech capitalists and not commodity manufacturers, so maybe they don’t care?

    This seems like the kind of thing that could harm a lot of business for western companies in the global south. Guess it is good news for China though.

    It’s actually amazing to me that Israel decided to use commodities as a weapon - this is not in the interest of traditional global capital
