Reality is Nike is internationally reducing sales through third party retailers in favour of their own stores. Instead of buying nikes through their equivalent of sportcheck, Israelis will be buying from nike.il.
Nike isn’t boycotting Israel — despite reports to the contrary
Nike has not announced plans to shutter its Israeli website or the 15 Nike Stores in Israel.

I'm sure that's what Botha told himself too.
Amazing that you can take a well document change in global policy and claim it is really about your Israel obsession. Just like with the ice cream, Israelis will still be able to buy Ben and Jerry's and will still be able to buy nikes.
You don't like reality.
Ben and Jerry is still selling in Israel. Nike is still selling in Israel. For that matter, you continue to support Israeli businesses and organizations. You're just as pathetic as the BDS leader who wants all Israeli academic institutions boycotted, ignoring the fact that his degrees are from an Israeli institution.
This is reality.
Poll finds a quarter of US Jews think Israel is ‘apartheid state’
Also, 22% of respondents believe 'Israel is committing genocide'; 67% say denying Jewish state's right to exist is antisemitic

Right. You try to argue against facts with opinion polls. Ben and Jerry is still selling in Israel. Nike is still selling in Israel.
If you really want to base your argument on polls, 70% of Palestinians oppose peace talks, only 6% would choose a One State peace, 49% think violence is the best way forward, and 52% support "attacks on Israeli civilians inside Israel."
Those polls?
Israel has been occupying Palestine for 50 years. They rule through apartheid and there is no pretence of peace talks or even possibility of a two state solution.
Apartheid Israel is the reality.
What are you going to do about the situation you've been pushing for?
Correct. They are selling in Israel though which means Israelis in the West Bank can still easily get it. As I said in the thread on the topic, it's just another PR move that will only have a negative impact on the Palestinians as they will no longer have access.
So you have no comment on Palestinians overwhelmingly opposing peace talks and half of them thinking violence is a solution?
Meanwhile Nike is still selling in Israel through company stores instead of as many 3rd party vendors.
What peace talks?
There haven't been peace talks in how many years?
5 years?
7 years?
Israel's PM is totally against a Palestinian state, why should they talk instead of going straight to the ICC?
No, that doesn't count because they never talked to Palestinians or announced what their plan really was.
They just talked to basketcase's pals and offered up everything Israelis wanted and declared it a peace plan.
But they never actually consulted any Palestinians.
Edit: Just saw this in the news. Looks like its not dead yet.

Nice excuse for 70% or Palestinians including Hamas rejecting the idea. Just another case where you think non-white people aren't accountable for their own choices. Just like when you refused to criticize Abbas for walking away from Olmert's offer.
Meanwhile Nike and B&J are still selling in Israel.
p.s. What happened to you supporting the UN? They say the only possible way forward is negotiations for a two state peace.
1) Israel is the military occupying power so when the Israeli PM says a Palestinian state will never happen while he is in power, it doesn't matter what Palestinians think.
2) After 20 years of peace talks with the Oslo Accords, where Israel used it as stalling tactic while they stole more land, aka 'facts on the ground', why should they support peace talks with a PM who says he won't let it happen?
They should just go to the UN and ICC and charge Israel with apartheid.
Let sanctions end apartheid and the occupation.
