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.
“The modern economy is very global and interconnected” is a cliché - too vague and obvious to guide action. Boycott Israeli companies. Waze is an Israeli company.
Maybe some horrible massacre happened there once, but that’s like the heart of 1948 Israel, not some illegal settlement in the West Bank.

Maybe, but it is an esteemed, Palestinian lead organization employing that cliché and providing good justification for it. I will be giving the guidance from BDS more weight than yours, @frightful_hobgoblin@lemmy.ml.

So people reading this are aware: the boycott movement is not just about boycotting goods from the occupied territories: it’s about the whole of Israel.
Boycott Israel
¿Porque no los dos? 💈
Boycott Waze, Wix, HP, Unilever (and their many subsidiaries), Cif, Coca-Cola, Colman’s, Danone, Dell, Domino’s, Elle, McDonald’s, Monster Energy drinks, Nescafé/Nestlé, Paypal, Pret-a-Manger, Reebok, Starbuck’s, Sun (the laundry detergent)
Waze and many of the companies you listed are not BDS targets, for good reason:
https://craft.co/waze/locations - it’s headquartered in Tel Aviv. Boycott it.
