#boycotting

[intersectionalpraxis]

I was able to watch some of Bisan's live earlier too! She spoke about how many in Gaza are seeing what is happening across university campuses and they're so happy/cheerful about everyone coming out to support Palestine and to protest Israeli war crimes and the ongoing mass genocide against Palestinian people. She emphasized for us, as a global community, to keep going -to keep protesting, to keep boycotting, and to keep making an impact -and then I saw that she posted this video, and I wanted to talk about it here too because yes -we will never stop talking about Palestine.

BDS has called for an official boycott of Eurovision2024

Everyone...you know what to do

[ID 1: text on a black background reading: "Boycott Eurovision: Artwashing Israel's #GazaGenocide". The Eurovision logo is edited such that red barbed wire appears over the heart in the center.

ID 2: a tweet from "PACBI - BDS movement" @/PACBI reading:

We call for the boycott of #Eurovision2024". We urge all participating broadcasters, national competitors, finalists, production crews, and viewers to boycott the contest following the refusal of the organizers @/EBU_HQ to ban genocidal Israel. #BoycottEurovision2024

Normalise Resistance!! We're in this for the long haul!

"Got some conflict fatigue? You probably do if you possess a soul. The Man wants you to burn out, to feel hopeless and forget about everything… and here’s a message about that." from Greg Stoker, 28/Mar/2024:

[rubyredridinghood]

Fuck your boycott fatigue, people are dying.

Fuck your boycott fatigue, you have internet access and millions have no contact with their families

Fuck your boycott fatigue, you won’t die without Starbucks or McDonald’s, but real people are dying BECAUSE of them

Fuck your boycott fatigue.

BRANDS TO BOYCOTT

1 Consumer boycott goals:

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

Siemens

Siemens (Germany) is the prime contractor of the Euro-Asia Interconnector, an Israel-EU undersea power cable that is expected to connect illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories to Europe. Siemens brand appliances are sold all over the world.

PUMA

PUMA (Germany) sponsors the Israel Football Federation, which governs teams in illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories.

Carrefour

Carrefour (France) is a facilitator of genocide. Carrefour-Israel supported Israeli soldiers who took part in the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza with gifts of personal parcels. In 2022 it entered into a partnership with the Israeli company Electra Consumer Products and its subsidiary Yenot Bitan, both of which were involved in serious violations against the Palestinian people.

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)

HP Inc (USA) provides services to the offices of the genocide leaders, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and Finance Minister Smotrich.

SodaStream

SodaStream is actively complicit in Israel's policy of displacing Israel's indigenous Bedouin-Palestinian citizens in the Naqab (Negev) and has a long history of racial discrimination against Palestinian workers.

Ahava cosmetics

Ahava have their production site, visitor center and main store in an illegal Israeli settlement in the occupied Palestinian territories.

D/MAX

RE/MAX (USA) markets and sells property in illegal Israeli settlements built on stolen Palestinian land, thus enabling Israeli colonization of the occupied West Bank.

2 Divestment objectives:

Elbit Systems

Elbit Systems is the largest apartheid Israeli arms company. It “field tests” its weapons against the Palestinians, including in Israel's ongoing genocidal war against the Palestinians in Gaza. 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.

HD Hyundai/Volvo/CAT/JCB machinery

by HD Hyundai (South Korea), Volvo (Sweden/China), CAT (United States) and JCB (United Kingdom) have been used by Israel in the ethnic cleansing and forced displacement of Palestinians through the destruction of their homes, farms and commercial activities, as well as the construction of illegal settlements on stolen land, a war crime under international law.

Barclays

Barclays Bank (UK) holds more than £1 billion in shares and provides more than £3 billion in loans and subscriptions to nine companies whose weapons, components and military technology have been used in Israel's armed violence against Palestinians.

CAF

The Basque transport company CAF builds and provides maintenance services to the Jerusalem Light Rail (JLR), a tram line serving illegal Israeli settlements in Jerusalem. The CAF benefits from Israel's war crimes on stolen Palestinian lands.

Chevron

The US fossil fuel multinational Chevron is the main international company extracting gas claimed by Israeli apartheid in the eastern Mediterranean. Chevron generates billions in revenue, bolstering Israel's war chest and apartheid system and exacerbating the climate crisis.

HikVision

Amnesty International has documented high-resolution CCTV cameras made by Chinese company Hikvision installed in residential areas and mounted on Israeli military infrastructure for surveillance of Palestinians. Some of these models, according to Hikvision marketing, can connect to external facial recognition software.

TKH Security

Amnesty International has identified cameras from the Dutch company TKH Security used by Israel for surveillance of Palestinians. TKH supplies the Israeli police with surveillance technology used to enforce apartheid.

Other brands:

Zara

Zara's latest marketing campaign uses corpses in plastic wrapping, and warzone aesthetics, mocking the genocide by israel in Gaza. In a previous incident Joey Schwebel, a Canadian-Israeli dual national and chairman of israel's Zara franchisee Trimera, hosted the convicted terrorist Itamar Ben-Gvir at his home in the lead-up to the Israeli elections. Zara did not made a statement distancing themselves from this association and allowed this ad campaign to run.

Reminder to do what you can so you can keep fighting. even if that means staying off social media for a day and then going on later. don't let yourself burn out and give up. keep talking about palestine and do so in a way that makes it so you can continue talking about palestine. don't let the terrorist state tire you out, they want you to forget & quiet down. be loud

[intersectionalpraxis]

More affluent older white people jeering and making a mockery of this young person who refuses to be complacent in Google's complicity in the ongoing genocide against Palestinian people. The raw materials used to make their products also depend on exploiting Congolese people -including young children, who mine for cobalt. Google, Apple -any company that relies on suffering, destruction, and death of ANY community around the world needs to be stopped. Keep boycotting. Keep speaking up about these injustices.

[lasttarrasque]

Do you have boycott fatigue?

Well guess who else dose, McDonald’s, Starbucks, Coca Cola, Israel and all those who support it!

We are making progress, they might pretend we aren’t, but we are!

Keep boycotting, because it’s working!

[palestinegenocide]

Take notes starbucks

[lanternzz]

"im not going to boycott it wont do anything"

NO. that is called being lazy, and blatantly ignoring the shit going on. every contribution, every missed sale, every disruption in the economy is important. so what if you cant have your mocha latte today? people are DYING. get your head out of your ass and think for a moment. change only happens when we all contribute. force these bullshit companies to stop funding a genocide, then worry about your fucking starbucks order.

reblog > note

dont stop posting!!

[pilloclock]

Your posts about Palestine matter, your posts about Congo and Sudan matter. Your awareness and the sharing and education of others MATTERS 🇵🇸🇸🇩🇨🇩

Keep posting , keep sharing, keep boycotting, keep watching , keep reposting , keep commenting and most importantly don’t let yourself see human deaths as just numbers. Don’t let yourself become blind. London just had the biggest protest many people have ever seen in support of Palestine. Demand a ceasefire and don’t stop.

[starlightshadowsworld]

BDS is a Palestinian lead movement that gives information and guidance on boycotting things supporting Israel in the Free Palestine movement.

And they have released a new list. Which you can find here or at bdsmovement.net in the updates area.

They've split them into 4 categories:

1. Consumer Boycotts:

These are what you've probably already seen on their site. The BDS movement calls for a complete boycott of these brands.

These are: AXA, Puma, hp (Hewlett Packard), Siemans, Sodastream, Carrerfour, AHAVA, RE/MAX. As well any thing marked as "produced in Israel."

2. Divestment targets:

These are targets that BDS are trying to pressure governments, Universities and other institutions into stop using.

These are: Elbit systems, CAF, Volvo, Chevron, CAT, Barclays, HIK vision, JCB, HD Hyundai.

3. Pressure (Non Boycott) targets:

These are brands and services BDS are wanting to pressure to end their complicity in the Israeli aphartied.

These are: Amazon, Google, Expedia, Air bnb Booking.com, Disney.

4. Grassroot Organic boycotting targets:

These are the brands and services BDS didn't initatie in boycotting. What was started from things like social media, and BDS support people openly boycotting them.

These are: McDonald's, Burger King, PapaJohns, Pizza Hut, Wix etc.

All them go here, your Starbucks, your coca cola, Disney, that a lot of people have begun boycotting and calling out for that have taken root.

BDS do emphasise that a small targeted amount is best, it's what's worked for them in the past and present.

And what they've complied are the ones that they believe will have a bigger impact.

That being said they do note that "all peaceful popular efforts, including boycott and divestment, to hold all genuinely complicit corporations (and institutions) accountable for supporting Israel’s grave violations of Palestinian rights are justified and called for."

I suggest going to their website bdsmovement.net to see why they've chosen these specifically, and if you just wanna know more.
