The call to boycott Israeli products gains traction on social media as a form of protest against Israel’s alleged human rights abuses in Gaza. The movement has gained momentum on platforms such as X, Tik Tok, and WhatsApp, with widespread circulation of boycott calls.
To facilitate the boycott, various apps have been developed to help consumers identify Israeli products. One such app, ‘No Thanks’, created by Palestinian activist Ahmed Bashbash, has gained popularity since its launch on November 13. The app allows users to scan barcodes, and if the product is of Israeli origin, it will display a red “No Thanks” message.
Furthermore, a comprehensive list of products to be banned has been provided on the boycott’s website. The list includes well-known brands such as Adidas, Coca-Cola, Disney, McDonald’s, Pepsi, and many other familiar companies.
The impact of the boycott is already being felt in the business world, as corporations that support Israel are experiencing losses. For instance, Starbucks reportedly suffered a loss of 1300 crore dollars, indicating the economic repercussions of the boycott.
The movement has garnered support from various organizations and individuals, who are urging others to boycott not only Israeli products, but also companies that provide financial and technical support to Israel. As the boycott gains momentum, it remains to be seen how it will impact the economic and political landscape.
