Hey all. Developed in response to the horrific terror attack on Israel, the Stand With Israel Widget lets website owners stand against terror and highlight Hamas's atrocities. This isn't about tech; it's a call to action, rallying the global community to support Israel in its fight against terror. If you have any suggestions on how to improve the widget, please let me know as the plan is to make it available in a more easier way on Shopify, Wix, and more. If you disagree with standing against terror, standing against Hamas - you have a problem.

@j_swell1 "Palestine isn't ethnically cleansing Jews with colonialism" Question: How many Jews love in 'Palestine'? None... Nada How many Arabs live in Israel? 20% of the population is Arab Good luck Jew hater!
John Swell
@runtize_admin Not sure what your point is beyond a knee-jerk response? Not only is it non-sequitur, but it's also factually incorrect. The Israeli settlements I cite below are on Palestine, that is, land recognized by the US and UN as Palestine. This is straight form Wikipedia: As of January 2023, there are 144 Israeli settlements in the West Bank, including 12 in East Jerusalem.[17] There are over 100 Israeli illegal outposts in the West Bank. In total, over 450,000 Israeli settlers live in the West Bank excluding East Jerusalem, with an additional 220,000 Jewish settlers residing in East Jerusalem. So yes, Israel is creating illegal settlements in occupied territory and wiping out the native Palestinian population by evicting them, denying them building permits, and controlling freedom of movement to an extreme degree for those unfortunate enough to be born non-Jewish. Hence why international organizations recognize it as an apartheid state.

@yoavush Perhaps saying "If you disagree with (reductionist take on extremely nuanced issue) you have a problem" is not the best way to start a conversation.
John Swell
@yoavush looks like my original comment was deleted (the one @runtize_admin is replying to). I wrote: I cannot in good conscience say "I stand with Israel" because it is an apartheid state (not my words, Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International). I stand with the innocent Israeli victims of the attacks only. Both sides claim to not target civilians, but civilians are still killed in the crossfire. What is the difference between Israel and Palestine then? Oh right, Israel is performing ethnic cleansing through settler colonialism by installing Israeli settlements in land that is considered occupied by both the US and the UN and wiping out the indigenous Palestinian people by denying them building permits, denying them freedom of transportation and destroying their homes. Their only crime was to be born non-Jewish. Additional commentary: by saying you "Stand with Israel", you are encouraging the support of a fascist apartheid state that has a far-right government that has made blood-curdlingly hateful statements against Palestinians. Many Israelis bravely stood up against such a hateful Israeli government and got a little taste of what Palestinians face every day. You are garnering support for a state that is now gearing up to exact revenge. It's told 1.1 million Gazans to leave or else face death. It's cut off food, electricity and water (even water!) for 2.4 million people. That is tantamount to ethnic cleansing. It's the second Nakba.

@yoavush yeah just ignore 75 years of Israelis illegally occupying Palestine and stealing land and homes and daily murders of Palestinians.

This is so important, thank you so much for building this!
John Swell
@benln yes, a snippet of HTML that stands with an apartheid country, Israel, which as of today is about to deny 2.4 million Gazans access to food, water and electricity, and has told 1.1 million Gazans to leave within 24 hours or be killed is exactly what was needed to be built!!

When it comes to a truly complex topic with a lot of historical context, the worst thing you can do is support 1 side. Especially from the business page. I won't write a ton of text, but if you’re against terrorist-like activities from Hamas, be against terrorist-like activities from Israel too, which is happening right now. Jews, arabs, other people from other countries are dying because of the 2 extremes. Kids are dying. You all better keep the same energy for both sides, because innocent civilians are suffering not only IN Israel, but IN Palestine, extremely and severely. Especially children. I hope none of the websites will use this widget, don't be hypocrites guys. Better choose the side of the ultimate PEACE for the innocent civilians on both sides. It’s important.
Azam Saidov
@azamsaidov It's good that you understand that peaceful people suffer because of the war. Neither I nor you can say anything for sure about the positions of the militants, especially now in the information war, when every 2nd news from both sides is an attempt to justify actions. White phosphorus bombs from Israel. Use of civilian buildings for shield from Hamas, etc. What is the truth? We must mute media propaganda for a while. No one adequately supports the actions of Hamas, but you know well that the reason for these terrible actions can be perfectly understood if you look at the history of this region and the number of deaths. And I repeat once again, understanding and recognizing these reasons does NOT in any way justify cruelty on either side, neither on the part of Hamas nor on the part of Israel. Everything is subject to explanation. Although my point of view is peace over the heads of all innocent people, but as a person who has gone deep, I can say that right now the normal Palestinians have no water, no electricity, no gas. These are incredibly bad conditions, imagine how they’re living right now, especially with small children. Is it wise to be against these people in ANY way? Of course not. Right now they need more protection and support. That’s exactly why I stand with innocent Palestinian civilians, millions of children, mothers and fathers from defenseless families.
Azam Saidov
@yoavush Comparing the history of Nazi Germany doesn’t fit this situation at all. The only reason why this war has been going on for 70+ years is because a country called Palestine was removed and erased from World Map. First with the help of Britain, then Israel itself with more funding. Open Google Maps and take a look. The only way to resolve this issue without destruction and cruelty is to give freedom to the people and create for them the state of Palestine, NEXT to Israel. Nobody adequate is expelling Jews. This is why everyone writes Free Palestine, including me. Think about it. Put yourself in their shoes.
Azam Saidov
@j_swell1 I heard a story that they asked all the people to move south to a safe place and then started bombing that safe route with people. This may not be true, but it may also be true. Atrocities, this news makes me sick.
This is not the place where you should be able to share about your own perspective about a political situation where you demonstrate shallow understanding, especially when you accuse people about supporting "terror". I don't think no one will ever support terrorism acts on this platform but your words are provoking people by picking a side. Find yourself another platform where you can discuss about these topics.
Matt Caine
@johnberg I dont think there is anything political to discuss about. They made an effort, they made a product and they published it on Producthunt...It's a product and this is place for products.
@mattcaine Exactly right, check the comments to see if it is only for the sake of publishing a product.
Mister Wael
@johnberg @mattcaine You cannot make it a product asking people to stand with a barbaric state that's covered with children & women's blood. You simply cannot!
Matt Caine
As Johnberg said This isnt place for political discusion... stick to the topic and thats product and its quality.
John Swell
@mattcaine Is it really a product? Others have commented on its lack of technical substance as an actual product and others have noticed it's rather a way to shoehorn in a political position—a position given the geopolitical context, I find very dangerous. Why? While I do mourn the loss of innocent life Israel suffered, the only result of "standing with Israel" now is garnering support for a massive ethnic cleansing of Gaza—a second Nakba. Is giving 1.1 million Gazans 24 hours notice to evacuate or else face death, and cutting off water, electricity and food for 2.4 million Gazans really the actions of a state you want to support by "Standing with Israel"? I only stand with the people of Israel who suffered the horrific actions. I do not stand with the apartheid state of Israel (as defined by Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International), nor do I stand with the extreme right-wing government, which puts their Arab neighbors to shame with their official genocidal rhetoric—and with the capability to execute the genocide.

So what about Israeli crimes against Palestinians? Why does the media always use words that consider Israelis victims and Palestinians terrorists when the number of bombs, deaths and injuries caused by Israelis over the past 10 years they have received is greater? a lot, even losing land, being surrounded and limited? 80 years ago, the Nazis locked Jews in concentration camps and released poison gas. 80 years later, the Jews locked 2 million Palestinians in cages they created and bombed them regardless of the elderly, women and children. regardless of international law. I agree that war should not be against civilians, it is a crime. And that applies to all warring parties. I think this product needs to be removed. ProductHunt should be a place to showcase good products, not a place to spread political issues.
Hoàng Ngọc Tân
Yesterday Israel used MK-84 bombs on Palestinian hospitals, killing and injuring nearly 2,000 people, and this product is still available on ProductHunt. SHAME !
Hoàng Ngọc Tân
@meerorslava Do you know how many times Hamas has failed to launch rockets? The IDF says Hamas has failed more than 400 times this year, but there have been no reports of injuries (I think maybe a few). But the problem is do you know how much damage a small missile can do and how much damage a JDAM can do? A homemade rocket from Hamas does not cause much damage, otherwise the number of Israelis injured and killed in recent times would be much greater. What about the bombing of the Palestinian hospital? There were many (accurate reported figures are about 500 people), and Hamas does not have weapons that cause such great damage.
Arif Abdullah
@meerorslava Oh really? How cute. Just that your apartheid nazi government and terrorist IDF army made a little mistake by acknowledging and praising the attacks, thinking that world would be fine with your atrocities. Alas, when the zionist nazis didn’t get the approval from the world, they changed the narrative right away. Little too late though. Also, we didn’t forget about Shireen Abu Akleh, and USS Liberty incidents for that matter. israeli playbook is known to everybody now!
Arif Abdullah
@meerorslava centuries of apartheid, oppression, ethnic cleansing, human rights violations, constant humiliation do justify resistance!
Arif Abdullah
@meerorslava keep pushing your propaganda. 75 years of israeli apartheid and oppression can’t be concealed with your cheap words. Or IDF needs to give you guys new playbook. It’s getting dated….lol A regime of Jewish supremacy from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea: This is apartheid btselem.org/publications/fulltext/202101_this_is_apartheid The Occupation of the West Bank and the Crime of Apartheid: Legal Opinion h yesh-din.org/en/the-occupation-of-the-west-bank-and-the-crime-of-apartheid-legal-opinion

What about people are being killed in GAZA?
Badr
Standing against Hamas but also cannot support a genocide and war crimes against Palestinians, If you stand with the genocide - you have a problem
Shad Iqbal
You're just playing a propaganda-based victim card where Israel itself is the terrorist country that destroys an independent country called Palestine. Didn't you see how many people they killed over the last 60 years, even without being attacked or in a war situation?
AIFastCash
Cruel world we are living in. All I have to say is: Free Palestine. If you want to know how Israel was created, watch this video:
Fariss Abdelhak
Fact: Jews were kicked out of every country in Europe and Palestine was the only country to help and support helpless Jews.Today they claim Palestine belongs to them. #FreePalestine
Don Raz
@metageek I don't know where you get your facts from, but once Israel was announced multiple arab nations tried to erase us. Fact - You should check your facts.
Fariss Abdelhak
@sl343434 from europ to be accurate
Fariss Abdelhak
@shahar_raz3 maybe you should read history. If you want the truth, you gonna find it, do some research and don't just believe what they want you to believe
Ilyas
yes, that's exactly what everyone needed, now make a "Stand with Russia widget"
Fabio Salvadori
I have great respect for an experienced maker like @yoavush, and I see what moved you to do this, but I can't rate intentions here, just the product. I fail to see how this is a product, in fact. There's no need for a widget to communicate whom we stand for, if we desired so. A simple H1 will do at a fraction of the time and without the risk that the object of support changes unilaterally and abruptly. I'm afraid that from a strictly technical point of view I can't forget the real purpose of Product Hunt, and based on that I must rate this "app" poorly: it does not solve any problem, it is not time-efficient, it poses security and reputation risks. Maker can change the widget message at will, and tomorrow it might be one I don't stand for and yet showing up on my site. Yeah, every widget could do that, in theory, except that maker's site doesn't come with a privacy and content policy, a ToS, and worst of all with identification details. Whatever the message was, I could never add such a widget to my sites, Yoav, Sorry. Said this, may all the parties involved in this appalling crisis get a hint of inspiration and remember that nobody chose where we were born but we can choose how to live. Together. In peace.
Miloš Trifunović
This is disgusting and embarrassing. You shouldn’t share here your political preferences. What about poor Palestinian people?
Alessandro Valentini
Shame on you for not caring about the 1000 (One. F. Thousand) children killed by Israel. As you said, this is not about tech. So I feel compelled to call out your imperialist colonialist perspective. Shame on you for siding with the Israeli occupation. Shame on you for ignoring the civilians killed without shame by the Israeli forces. And shame on you for ignoring the struggle of the Palestinians.
AbdulHafeez Sadon
I call for Product Hunt to take down this MOSSAD agent propaganda. By no means does calling for Palestinian genocide by the Apartheid Israel regime has any place in Product Hunt. For those looking for the truth, here's a quick overview to understand the situation: https://youtu.be/QUCeQt8zg5o?si=...

Disgusting. How do you even sleep knowing you've ruined the lives of thousands of familes, and then glorifying it with all means available to you. Every video/ post from the supporters of Israel are just words and statements - "reportedly" - while there are literal evidences of kids with no limbs, bombed to pieces by Israel.
Linh Lê
I cannot understand enough why people support terrorism and even go as far as building a product for that!
Tom Orbach
THIS MUST WIN TODAY
John Swell
@tomorbach yes, a low-effort HTML snippet that supports an apartheid country that just told 1.1 million Gazans they have 24 hours to leave or be killed is what must win. A state that denies food, water, access to 2.4 million Gazans is definitely the kind of state that needs support right now.
