Italian police used batons against unarmed students who are rightfully and peacefully protesting against Italy's most famous TV station (Rai) supporting genocide 🤡 Italian is a what? A democratic republic, you said? Are you sure about that? Fucking fascists.
Since most of y'all are aware, there's a global boycott going on this week
It can be very hard for people with limited means/shops around to go through with this
So yesterday, I came across an app called "No Thanks" that you can download on the playstore
It's presented like this : (it's the same pic twice)
You can scan articles beforehand to see if their company supports Israel or not
It's fairly new which is why barely anyone talked about it but getting it could help even a little so I decided to share it here :D
I've used the app first to see for myself and it's pretty convenient but keep in mind this is only for groceries and not for restaurants and stuff !!
Hope this will be of help to you and don't forget to keep boycotting those fuckass brands like coca cola, mc Donald's, and Starbucks. They all suck balls. Have a nice day <33
Let's start by boycotting these brands that are directly involved in Israeli apartheid
'' BIG THREE''
Mc Donald: gives free meals to Israeli soldiers
Disney ( sadly, Disney was my childhood): declared support for Israel by pledging $2 million
Starbucks: sued his union over its pro-Palestine positions

AXA
When Russia invaded Ukraine, the insurance giant AXA (France) took targeted measures against it. Yet as Israel, a 75-year-old regime of colonialism and apartheid, wages a genocidal war on Gaza, AXA continues to invest in Israeli banks that finance war crimes and the theft of Palestinian land and natural resources.
Hewlett Packard Inc (HP Inc)

In addition to building killer drones, Elbit produces surveillance technology for the apartheid wall, checkpoints and fence in Gaza, enabling apartheid. The US and EU use Elbit technology to militarize their borders, violating the rights of refugees and indigenous peoples.

Remember its super easy to boycott alot of companies,already Starbucks has lot millions and same with Mc Donalds and we should keep going on with that,its so easy to search recipes online or make your own,support your locals and Palestines brands too!
Please dont waste time arguing with Zionists,or accusing other to be ones,or cluster any hastag witouth providing sources,it took me time to search for alot of this to make this post!
But well,this is all i had to say,thank ya all for reading and wish for a free Palestine from all the suffering they are dealing!
since free palestine is trending on tumblr tags right now, i will use that chance in hopes of important information on boycotting for palestine getting the leverage it needs.
targeted boycotts work the best! select a number of brands you usually consume and boycott them all.
the most popular bds brand combination at the moment is starbucks, mc donalds and disney plus (or any disney owned company/ franchise for that matter).
these brands have to be ones you consume, otherwise your "boycott" won't bear it's fruits, as it should.
still, try avoiding the other brands as best as you can. we vote with our dollar/ euro afterall.
check out if your favorite and most bought brands are a part of the bds boycott list, using this link:
this is why I think there's a key difference between people who boycott and people who alter their social positioning instead
while both groups technically *participate* in a boycott, the first group boycotts as a reaction, and will return to the previous activity as soon as the pressure is off- either bc the company changed behavior** or because they forgot/stopped caring.
the second group steps back from that type of consumption as a whole, *permanently* because they see the company's behavior as part of a larger pattern and system. It doesn't matter what the company says or does after this because **the fact that they did the fucked up thing in the first place causes a rupture of trust that often goes beyond just the main Product/Service in question and this kind of person becomes disillusioned at the idea that the service was ever acceptable to begin with.
So group A) boycotted Chik Fil A and Mc Donald's until ppl stopped watching them or until they found a coupon at which point they shrugged off the whole ordeal
group B) realizes they heard more than once that Chik Fil A and Mc Donalds had engaged both in questionable labor practices, food prep/ingredient sourcing and political involvements, and became distrusting of these fast food megacorporations as a whole, changing who they are as a consumer profile completely and permanently.
Group A is a credible inconvenience for said companies, but only as long as they can hold out, which is barely over a financial quarter or two.
Group B stops buying for life, and changes the way they live to make up for whatever buying from said companies offered them.
We need to talk about this theory about the grimace shake
youtube
According to this interview, Ronald McDonald treated grimmice and the other mc Donaldland characters horriblely. The main purpose of the interview was to go over grimace,'s assassination, he said in the interview that he is no longer associated with the McDonald's brand. Bi have come to believe that je dident because of the grimace birthday meal commercial
youtube
As you can see the new media in the commercial showed grimace, with no hidden bruses aluding kidnapping or torcher.
This leads me to believe that he lies about not working for mc Donalds and his music career (his shown foot fetish wasn't a lie. more or less...)
He lies in the interview to get people off his back if and shame the McDonald's company instead if any strings ended up connected by people still alive or saw the process.
Since it was his birthday he was in charge of contracting the recipe for the birthday shake, he was able to slip a posinis chunck of his body onto the match which caused the shake mis to become poisonous to most people.
At the sight of his victims he edits and posts the videos.
He hopes after the videos are posted, people will start to boycott and strike at McDonald's. Bankrupting the clown once and for all
