    I mean I think the boycotts have been working to an extent thus far. “israeli” foods are being renamed / their origins are being hidden. I was at a store yesterday and a significant number of products that are under the cocacola brand now no longer have ANY labeling related to cocacola, even though they did previously have a mention of it somewhere on the label.

    Starbucks shit down dozens of locations in my city alone, although I’m sure the financial situation in amerikkka plays a big role in part of this, I also do attribute it to the boycotts. There have been plenty of Yemeni / saudi (🤮) owned coffee shops popping up around where I live that are booming in business while Starbucks is faltering.

    I don’t buy anything that has a relation to the zionist entity, and if I’m out with more liberal acquaintances from work / sports teams, I’ll organically offer an alternative location by calling it trash coffee / burgers / pizza / etc., and they always oblige with my request without me having to call them nazis for even considering those locations.

    You could call this an organized boycott, but a lot of the places / food items aren’t on the actual BDS list, it’s just individuals collectively deciding they don’t want to spend money on bloodshed.
