Numerous companies are implicated in Israel’s violent conflict against 2.3 million Palestinians residing in Gaza. Any non-violent, grassroots attempts, such as boycotts and divestments, to make these entities answer for their endorsement of Israel’s offenses towards Palestinians, are well-founded.
Certain companies, such as Carrefour, have intensified their involvement by providing thousands of personal packages to the Israeli occupation army. This action directly aids and abets their perpetration of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
All of them should face boycotts and divestment, regardless of claims that their branches in different countries have local ownership, either in full or in part. The parent company bears responsibility for allowing its Israeli branch to endorse an ongoing military aggression, which leading scholars of genocide have characterized as a ‘textbook case of genocide.’ We advocate for sustained pressure on entities that support apartheid Israel and its genocidal campaign against our people in Gaza.
Regarding Dominos, McDonald’s, Papa John’s, Pizza Hut, and Burger King: Believe me, you wouldn’t want to consume that harmful fare. Opt for local eateries with fresh ingredients instead. These fast food establishments with unhealthy offerings can adversely affect your well-being.
I’ve observed many individuals sharing extensive lists of companies to boycott. While boycotting all of them would be ideal, Palestinian activists are urging us to prioritize and focus on specific companies for a more effective campaign!
