BOYCOTT ISRAEL

Boycotting sounds like a terrifying word. Lets simplify it; It’s not about hate, it’s about accountability. It’s about aligning your dollars with your values. If you’re not already boycotting, start simple. Start with a few companies or products.

Palestinians have asked the world to use boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) as a peaceful tool of pressure — just like was used to help dismantle apartheid in South Africa.

Boycotting is not charity. It’s solidarity. It’s saying: “We see you. We hear you. We will not look away.”

Every dollar spent on companies that support or profit from Israel’s occupation and military allows that system to continue — more weapons, more bulldozers, more surveillance, more displacement, and yes, more death.

Join the BDS movement

Major corporations — like Google, Amazon, Airbnb, and weapons manufacturers like Boeing and RTX — actively support or profit from the occupation and genocide in Gaza. Choosing to support them financially is choosing to be on the side of oppression, even passively.

Boycotting is a refusal to stay silent.

NoThanks App

The easiest way is to Boycott is to download the Nothanks App. This is Palestinian owned and does all the thinking for you. All you have to do is scan the products barcode and it tells you if it’s linked to Israel. It also includes alternative lists.

Shopping Local is the way to go!

When you support a local bakery, farmer, bookstore, or seamstress, you’re helping someone feed their kids, pay rent, and stay rooted in the community. That means your conscious money isn’t going to billion-dollar companies that often exploit workers or contribute to global violence.

Shopping locally keeps money circulating within your city or neighborhood, instead of sending it to corporate headquarters elsewhere. That money supports:

• Local jobs
• Local farmers, artists, and creators
• Local taxes that fund schools, roads, libraries, and emergency services

When you boycott giant corporations and instead support ethical alternatives — local, small, Palestinian-owned, or community-driven — you’re helping create a kind world.
