Man, I thought Lush is not in the list. I bought their products quite sometimes and a lot because I thought they support Palestine. I should have done my research more. I should finish the products that I recently bought and never buy from them again. Sobs #palestine

I don't understand it. My goal is to end the genocide and eventually end the occupation of all of Palestine. But boycotting McDonalds doesn't hurt "Israel", it just hurts McDonalds. I even support punishing McDonalds for feeding IDF soldiers, but if McDonalds went under tomorrow, the IDF would still get fed, the genocide would still continue, the occupation of Palestine would still continue unabated. It wouldn't even notice the loss. And my goal is not to punish McDonalds for its own sake but to end the genocide and eventually the occupation. So what's the mechanism for achieving that?

I understand how boycotting "Israeli" businesses hurts their economy and thus their ability to sustain the genocide and occupation. I understand how boycotting US companies like HP that offer essential support to the occupation deprives "Israel" of the means to sustain it. But how does boycotting McDonalds, Starbucks, and these other US companies that offer basically just moral support to "Israel" effectively contribute or lead to forcing an end to the genocide and eventually the occupation entirely? Thank you.

So…..I’m trying to figure out why we are boycotting mcdonald’s? From what I have found, what happened in mcdonald’s in Isra Hell was a rogue franchiser, I think we all know that part. And then the mcdonald’s around the rest of the world are locally owned and then a portion goes to the franchisee who is based in the US.

I have found no proof anywhere that the US franchisee has ever sent money to Israel or have even expressed their support to Israel. In fact, unlike bk, they don’t allow their Israeli franchisees to build on illegal settlements.

I feel bad because I live in Egypt and our economy is in the ground so my heart kind of breaks at the thought that we are rendering these mcdonald’s workers jobless for no reason (I also love Mcdonalds I ain’t gon lie)

UPDATE: Please stop sending me the article about the Mcdonalds in Israel giving free food to their army. It’s honestly not a legit reason. This is a rogue actor and has nothing to do with the owners of our franchises for example in egypt. Why are we punishing them for what a random Israeli owner did?

Forgive me if this post is a bit stupid. I have only just started to really learn about the BDS movement, and there has been a question in my head that I’ve been thinking about for days.

So recently I’ve been watching (and throughly enjoying) Breaking Bad, and realised that Bill Burr was in the show. I was finishing up an episode of season 5 a few days ago and remembered Bill’s whole thing with the Saudi Arabia show and the things he said about the people rightly calling him out for it.

Now I’m sorry if this doesn’t have much to do with Israel, but I’ve heard that Saudi Arabia is linked to Israel as well. So is Boycotting the show (or at least the streaming service I’m watching it on which is Stan) the right thing to do? Should I just pirate the show?

I consider myself very informed in this matter and I want palistine free. I dont want zionists to have any land period. Real jews appreciate that they even have any land to live on.

I've been thinking about this conflict a lot lately. Hamas is so much weaker than Israel. They run around in only jeans and a t shirt. While IOF is decked out in full blown militia. USA is currently bombing all of palistines allies (thanks to the piece of shit called joe biden, and obama(continued yemen, and iraq fwi), and trump) this occupation has been going on for over 70+ yrs. Isreal has broken every cease fire within days. So im confused why people are chanting for a permanent cease fire. When that will 100% be broken. Isreal has consistently demonstrated it can not follow any laws. They broke a cease fire 30+ times in 2015. We know they cant be trusted. Its like not hiding candy from your kid who loves candy. Every parent hides it cause they cant negotiate with their kid not to eat it. So im confused at how we give palistine their land back. As it should be.

Gazas hospitals are being bomed which is illegal under international law, so is supplying bombs to Israel. Which is what USA is doing. Famine is happening in Gaza. Isreal just wants to kill innocent people. There are records of IOF shooting their OWN people trying to surrender themselves. Yet there is not one document on hamas shooting any Palestinians in 70+ yrs. Infact Hamas gave medical treatment to an Israeli female who lost her arm when she was a hostage. All I can do is donate and boycott and stay informed. Which im doing. But im just curious on what your thoughts are?

Looking for phones that doesnot tied to helping in any repression like mentioned at the title. Please Dont tell me buying seond hand, As someone actually bouhgt it first hand and buying from secondhand market will encourage them to go for those Company again BECAUSE those phones have a great second hand market value.

Apparently it's a maghrebi dish and I saw it being sold in a restaurant when I saw the menu. It was brought to the genocide state on the 50s however would this be a good basis to boycott on or am I just paranoid perhaps?????

if BDS opinion is that the blockade is inhumane, then why is it humane to essential blockade israel? How is BDS any different from calling for a blockade/ blockading israel?

Why do you think BDS will be any more successful then the blockade in bringing ppl to negotiate?

I tried searching online and on this subreddit but I've found nothing so far. Does anyone know anything about Applebee's stance on the situation?
