This is a non-exhaustive list of brands to boycott if you would like to participate in the Palestinian call for global Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) against the Israeli occupation. I've excluded security, construction, etc. firms that cannot be boycotted in an individual capacity. However, pressuring governments & other organisations to refuse contracts to those firms is an integral part of the BDS movement. Will also try to make seperate posts on how to add your voice to the academic and cultural boycott of Israel.
On another note, Coca-Cola and Nestle belong on every boycott list. Not just because they are complicit in the Israeli occupation but also because they have committed some of the worst human rights violations the world over. Coca-Cola has gone as far as having Union leaders murdered. Both Coca-Cola and Nestle steal water supplies and create water insecurity in already marginalised regions among many, many other crimes. I did not include them in the list because I am aware of how overwhelmed people become when they see those two companies and all their endless subsidiaries and I wanted to keep the list targeted on companies that have been the specific focus of the Palestinian BDS movement.
I have also excluded some brands that are often on older BDS lists, like McDonald's, because over the years they have stopped engaging in the activity that resulted in their boycott or have simply fallen to a lower priority because their relatively lower level of involvement compared to the brands that are our focus.
That being said, I hope this list will serve as a place to start. As always, do your own research to make informed decisions. For more information, you can also visit bdsmovement.net and bdslist.org

Somehow I survived doing this.I present to you a low quality fanart of the ultimate Mary Sue queen. If you haven’t read My Immortal Fanfic you can bleach your eyes here: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5835837/1/My-Immortal-The-Return
Notes: If is a different day, I opted to only draw what Tara described of the outfit, if she didn’t mention her make-up or shoes I believe Ebony didn’t wear any.
Unless the fic says explicitly that it’s a different day I tried to keep some of the aspects of the last outfit that Tara didn’t change or didn’t mention. (Like her make-up or shoes).
The little icons that appear in like three of the outfits are the earrings she was wearing that chapter.
Doing this was beyond confusing but fun.
I made a little reference piece for my future embroidery projects. No more guessing how many strands I should use and regretting it later. 🤗 by NeedlessDesigns
I just think it’s really interesting that once I became more visibly Jewish- wearing a tichel or kippah on a daily basis, wearing my hamsa, learning Yiddish- I was immediately faced with (misdirected) transmisogyny- being called transmisogynistic specific slurs, being followed and harrassed off buses, being followed and watched in women’s bathrooms, etc.
It goes to show that transmisogynists and terfs base their ideas on what womanhood is on a white, European, racist, antisemetic, patriarchal caricature of womanhood, and not actual womanhood, which is intrisic to each women, normal or cis.
A representation of #tegucigalpa and its stacked city line. I used mixed media effects to create this piece and love the 3D effect it has. #3d #mixedmedia #art #instart #instartist #mountainside #centralamerica #centralamericanart (at Tegucigalpa, Honduras)
alright here's today's controversial post. a good amount of you on here will be like "english was my favorite subject 😍😍😍" and then reblog posts like "here is why sex scenes CAN'T have symbolism" and "stop consuming media with toxic characters" like okay so what were you doing in your english classes then. cause it apparently wasn't learning or analyzing. i'm pretty sure it was doodling pictures of eyes.
Inspired by and dedicated to @arielajoy. You've done a lot for me over the years and have inspired me with your love of people and giraffes. So here's to you! Love you, blueberry. #cousins #markerlove #markerdrawing #colorful #blackandwhite (at Tegucigalpa, Honduras)
