You're missing the bigger picture here. The slogan has recently been deemed offensive as a result of a smear campaign by bad-faith actors. If they picked another slogan, it would be smeared the same way.

My wife used to work for a large, very profitable American supply-chain company. This company had five locations, but could not open a sixth, because the 1960s-era COBOL mainframe at the heart of their computer system wasnโt designed to handle more than 5

This is shameful. As you are well aware, Hamas cannot be destroyed by military force without apocalyptic, unacceptable civilian casualties, and the Israeli government have shown as little regard for the hostages' safety as they have for Palestinian civilians'.

Fun fact, it was actually a carefully-planned heist involving the New York mafia, Colombian drug lords, and the Provisional IRA, designed to *look* like it was just some guy doing a mugging:

I went on a business trip to Sugarland, TX last year. Had to cross two six-lane roads to get to the office every day. Pedestrian crossings, everything technically walkable, but it still felt like taking my life into my own hands every time I crossed those roads
โHis team has avoided making the argument for transformative policies โฆ because even if they believed them to be politically desirable they fear that doing so will invite a media onslaught. But it didnโt matter; the press has unleashed mayhem on him anywayโ
Nothing Keir Starmer is accused of approaches the scale of 'Partygate' - yet a curry threatens to engulf his leadership.
Yet his real scandal - his dishonest leadership campaign - is ignored, because the victims of that dishonesty were left-wing.

the ludicrous way the colonial conflict in Ireland was/is thought of in the uk is really a like-for-like comparison for how Israelis think about Palestine isnโt it
I was on Chris' vetting committee and he's a fantastic candidate - insightful, humble, grounded, and dedicated to making things better for the people of Wakefield and the North.

On 23rd June, stand firm with Wakefield's Workers:

This is not a crisis. This is a great crime that has been committed over the course of the past dozen years by successive Tory governments. When will they face justice?

Insane levels of antisemitism here. โTheyโre not REALLY Jews, theyโre some other ethnicity from 1200 years ago that for some reason itโs OK to be bigoted against!โ Even if it werenโt factually false itโd be a bizarre, racist non-sequitur
These Ashkenazis are not Semites
They are Khazars (originating in Ukraine/Russia area) who converted to Judaism in the 8th century because they were so evil & war-like they were forced to. The VAST majority of Jews today are Ashkenazi. Therefore charges of antisemitism are void.
Here it is, the final, logical endpoint of Zionism: the attempted (albeit thankfully doomed) transformation of Judaism into a sort of Israeli State Shinto, in which membership is made conditional on loyalty to the ethnonationalist project. Shabby and grotesque.
This was one of the most painful things I've ever written, but these are things that have to be said.
We can no longer consider Jews who align themselves with the murderers of Jewish babies part of the Jewish people.

It's interpreted that way because of intense bad-faith campaigning to make people interpret it that way. The same thing will happen to any other slogan the protesters pick. Trying to keep ahead of the process with a new slogan every week is a trap they're right not to fall into

Why do companies need to be domiciled in countries?
Presumably, in the past, because a company - who owns and runs it, who can control it and keep the cash flows - is ultimately a "fiction", which exists insofar as some legal system is willing to uphold this fiction
