"Visualising money cycles, Libyan youth produced a video urging their community to boycott companies that are supportive of Israel. The video showcases the journey of just 2 Libyan dinars and how they join others in funding and arming the Israeli indiscriminate aggression in Gaza.
The video underscores the possibility that a united boycott campaign may pause or limit the ongoing aggression and save Gazan's lives. [Middle east monitor]

Coca Cola is a huge sponsor of Cop City in Atlanta (unsure about other cities). US police will learn tactics of the IDF (GILEE)

Coca cola
Pepsi
McDonald's
Burger king
Starbucks
Pizza hut
Dominoes
Basically any brand that's shit for your body, is shit for your soul

u/nodnodwinkwink 8d ago
Is there any site that details how these companies are connected to Israel?

u/contact_solution4 8d ago
There's an app called "no thanks". It tells you which brands to avoid and lets you scan barcodes of products to see if the company should be avoided as well

u/ZioTron 7d ago
Is this specific for the Israel situation, or contains brands boycotted for other reasons?

u/contact_solution4 7d ago
It's specific to the Israel situation. People have said there are some brands that need to be added to their list, but it's a good place to start

u/AffectionatePlace719 North America 🌎 7d ago
This is specifically Israel situation. The “no thank you boycott” app is better imo

u/eljudio42 8d ago
You can lookup the boycat app which allows you to scan and look up items. And search the BDS (boycott divest sanction) movement

It's like saying centimetre loses all length.
Money is a unit of account. What you mean is currency.

SodaStream Built a Factory for Israelis and Palestinians to Work Together. Then a War Erupted. https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/sodastream-company-israel-factory-a8cf4e52
Likely things have changed lately, but... "According to recent information, around 120 Palestinians with work permits from the West Bank currently work at the SodaStream factory in Israel, which is located in the Negev desert near the town of Rahat."

How does sabra and sodastream support the IDF?

u/Battlefieldking86 7d ago
only sabra support IDF , but sodastream is an Israeli company

u/Jackus_Maximus 7d ago
How does sabra support the IDF?
And I guess the sodastream thing is just that they pay taxes in Israel?

It seems like they give free food to soldiers, is that what you’re referring to?
1
u/AffectionatePlace719 North America 🌎 7d ago
If it’s given to the IOF then yes
1
u/Jackus_Maximus 7d ago
I couldn’t tell if it was Sabra or Strauss, the parent company, do you know?
Because Strauss sold their stake in sabra to Pepsi, so if it was Strauss making the donations, sabra is clean now, being owned by Pepsi.

u/Infinite_Rub_8128 7d ago
From my understanding its still owned by both, heres a link with more info https://www.cjpme.org/fs_239

Is there any proof that Pepsi/Coca-Cola take a percentage of it’s profits and donate it to Israel?

u/ItzjammyZz 7d ago
And yet, I've seen my own muslim ummah can't even boycott. They all made excuses saying that it doesn't work or that it doesn't really give money to Israel.

I understand it from a moral standpoint, but boycotting Pepsi or any other product will not change a single thing about the situation in Gaza.

Wtf is your point ?

u/notloggedin4242 8d ago
I was pointing out that The point of the video was something else entirely and absolutely contrary „hey look the Pepsi is cheap over there.“ giving off jealous vibes or was it some kind of j joke that I missed? What’s the point of yours?

u/ptrmrkks 8d ago
Yes actually you are correct .. I admit that I misinterpreted what you were saying. I had no point. I admit I could have been more gentle when asking for clarification but I feel so traumatized .

Friendly reminder that a Democratic administration fucked Libya. Just like how a Democratic administration fucked Gaza. Of course the Republicans are no better and worse on domestic issues but both parties are the biggest threat to global peace and security. Nobody can ever shame me into voting. I understand voting blue if you have a uterus. Otherwise exercise your political identity through speech and activism as the polling place ain't gonna help.

You guys should instead influence Israel and middle east's populations and governments and make them figure out a solution you desire, rather than try harassing random companies. Since that's more effective. Pepsi being Thanos snapped wouldn't change anything in a meaningful way. So focusing energy and time towards more useful things is reasonable. Wasting time on Pepsi instead of on something actually impactful also helps Israel; Pepsi is just a familiar jingling keychain.
This is stupid.
Just because someone sells beverages to a nation doesn't make them condone or support their actions.
And if Pepsi stopped, Israel would call them jew haters and everyone with very few braincells would just go: "Pepsi sure hates jews." and it'd just suck for them. So they can't win either way.
