i keep seeing posts about BDS going around, so im making one of my own that says why BDS is calling for certain brands to be boycotted because for some reason no post going around says that information except when it comes to mcdonalds?

links to pages about it on the BDS website will be provided

i wrote this post because i saw a post saying "only boycott these three companies to help palestine!" but the three companies listed arent even on the official BDS websites list (which you can find here), which i found very bizzare

also, on the BDS websites list of companies to boycott, theres a link to connect with BDS organizations in your country to know any brands in particular being targetted in your country. it requires you to input your email, so do be aware of that

personal note thats not required for the post under a readmore. if a palestinian comes on this post you must listen to them over me as i am canadian

(and, a personal note: while its not stated on the page, any money earned from purchasing israeli fruits and vegetables would probably, well, go to israel, and any that the government collects from the sales would likely also be used to produce weaponry to be used against palestinians. thats actually why i assumed israeli fruits and vegetables was being boycotted before reading the page! although, of course, since its not listed on the page and i dont know much about government take this personal note with a grain of salt and critical thinking)

Massive fuck you to everyone who is talking about Palestinians as if we’re already all dead and sharing more solidarity with our corpses than us living. “We will never forget the beautiful Palestinian people-“ how about you stop “making peace” with Palestinian extermination. My people are not going to be forgotten because we are going to live. Palestinians have already survived one genocide and have been surviving one ever since.

Do not ever let the idea that all Palestinians are going to die exist in your mind. Mourn the dead, fight like hell for the living.

the men and boys are innocent too.

we cry "the innocent women and children" to appeal to the masses, to try and force their sympathy, but the men and boys are innocent too.

I have seen sons crying out for their mothers, their fathers, their siblings. I have seen them break down at the loss of their families. I have seen them cling to their dead and grieve.

I have seen fathers cradle their dead children, seen them kiss their faces and hold their little hands. I have seen them faint with grief when asked to identify the dead. I have seen them carry their sons and daughters. I have seen them fasting to provide what little they can for their families.

I have seen men and boys digging through the rubble with just their bare hands, I have seen them comforting strangers, playing with children, rocking them, hushing them, even if the face of such imminent danger. I have seen them cry, seen them grieve, seen them break down into each other's arms, seen them be selfless, beyond selfless, becoming something I don't have a word for.

I have seen the men who are doctors refuse to leave their patients, even when they have no medicine or supplies to give them, even when they're threatened with bombings. I have seen fathers who have lost all their children pick orphans up into their arms and proclaim them their child so they are not alone. I have seen men and boys digging pets out of the rubble.

the men are innocent too. the men and boys are being hurt and killed too. the men and boys are grieving too. the men and boys are scared too. the men and boys are fighting to save their people too. the men and boys deserve to be fought for too.

hey because i've been seeing a few of those bighuge boycott lists for palestine going around, reminder that the actual bds website is not calling for a boycott of so many companies.

bds activists are calling for a boycott of eight companies/products specifically:

hp (hewlett packard)

siemens

axa

puma

israeli fruits and vegetables (not a company—all produce labelled as coming from israel)

sodastream

ahava cosmetics

sabra

this list and the reason for the boycotts of these companies specifically is easily accessible on their website at this link.

also from their website, on the same page:

"What about those boycott lists with tens of products?

The global nature of today’s economy means that there are thousands of companies that have links to Israel and are complicit to various degrees in Israel’s violations of international law. However, for our movement to have real impact we need our consumer boycotts to be easy to explain, have wide appeal and the potential for success. That’s why globally, while we call for divestment from all companies implicated in Israel's human rights violations, we focus our boycott campaigns on a select few strategic targets. We also encourage the principle of context sensitivity, whereby activists in any given context decide what best to target and how, in line with BDS guidelines. There is a lot of information online claiming that some large companies give money to Israel, some of which turns out to be false. BDS has built a reputation for strictly adhering to established facts and producing the most accurate information."

[image description: two diagrams. the first shows white lines pointing to various red dots. there are only one or two lines pointing to each dot. some lines don't appear to be pointing at anything in particular, and some dots are not being pointed to. this diagram is labelled "Not targeted consumer boycott".

the second diagram shows many lines pointing at the same single dot. all of the lines are focused and they are completely surrounding the dot. this diagram is labelled, "A targeted consumer boycott focuses on a small number of companies". end description.]

this is all to say that while those 20-item-long boycott lists and their spread are usually well-intended, they are not helpful or necessary at this point in time. not buying from disney or walmart is not as effective and influential as refusing to buy products coming directly from stolen palestinian land. convincing people they need to remember a giant list of companies and products to not support will only intimidate them out of doing anything at all.

if you want to participate in the boycott, divestment, sanctions movement, please please PLEASE get your information from an organized group of activists who are involved, not (just) from stuff you see going around on twitter. the overview of the movement can be looked at on their website at this link. they also have resources about what else to do and how to get involved in your own community.

palestine WILL be free, and it will be free with focused organization.

edit: bds is also encouraging a boycott of carrefour, a company which is not included on the page about their other active boycotts. you can read about this boycott specifically on their website at this link.

in this twitter thread from october 23rd, which you can view at this link on a separate website, bds also discusses pressuring the following companies:

papa john's

mcdonald's

domino's

burger king

pizza hut

however, i can't find any reliable information outside of this twitter thread where they call for a strategic, targeted boycott of these companies. that doesn't necessarily mean not to boycott these companies too, but right now, what they are advocating most is the continued targeting of the nine companies they are specifically calling for to be boycotted.

McDonald's is giving out free fries.

Disney is giving out Disney100 cards.

Starbucks is giving out buy one get one frees.

Why? Because their stock prices are falling.

They are losing money because of the boycotts because we are not giving them more money to fund and support the genocide of Palestine.

They're scared.

So they're gonna do whatever they can to get that money.

Keep it up.

Make them cry.

We may not be able to get them all, but the ones we get oh they are gonna suffer.

small monetary things you can do for palestine 🇵🇸

itchio currently has a bundle of 140+ games for only $10, and all proceeds benefit medical aid for palestine

ask for a commission from these artists, who are donating the funds to palestinian aid charities. the thread also has lots of places to donate.

other artists or creatives who are commissioning - here, here, here, here, and here

another thread of charities can be found here

"SELF DEFENSE" DOES NOT INCLUDE THE USE OF WHITE PHOSPHORUS

"SELF DEFENSE" DOES NOT INCLUDE THE DESTRUCTION OF SCHOOLS AND PLACES OF WORSHIP AND MEDICAL FACILITIES

"SELF DEFENSE" DOES NOT INCLUDE FUCKING!!!! NERVE GAS!!!!!!!

"SELF DEFENSE" DOES NOT INCLUDE THE CUTTING OF PHONE LINES AND INTERNET SERVICE AFTER CUTTING OFF FOOD AND WATER AND FUEL

THIS!!!! IS!!!! GENOCIDE!!!!

Remember that you are not helpless and you are not useless during this time. Especially as a white American or white British citizen right now, you hold a significant amount of power. If you back down and cave in to this helplessness and uselessness that you feel, then these politicians who allow the genocide of Palestine have won.

Even keeping a steady flow of posts talking about Palestine is enough. Do not quiet down. Do not fail the people of Palestine more than they already have been.

From the river to sea, Palestine will be free. 🇵🇸❤️

hope everyone in my phone is ok today. or surviving at least
