Boycott, Divestment, Sanction: Everything You Need to Know
The Global Call to Boycott Israel
The call to boycott Israeli products or companies that support Israel has become a topic of global debate. The Boycott, Divestment, and Sanction (BDS) movement aims to pressure Israel to end its occupation of the Palestinian territories and respect international law.
Companies on the Boycott List
The BDS movement maintains a list of companies that it targets for boycotts. These companies include Caterpillar, Hewlett Packard, and Veolia Environment. The BDS movement accuses these companies of complicity in Israel's human rights violations.

One recent boycott campaign focused on Dunkin Donuts. Activists called for a boycott of the coffee chain after it launched a new advertising campaign that featured Israeli actress Gal Gadot. The boycott gained traction after Chris Pavlovski, founder of the Rumble video platform, urged his followers to boycott Dunkin Donuts.
Impact on Corporate Profits
The BDS movement has had a noticeable impact on the profits of companies that it targets. For example, the conglomerate that owns brands like Pepsi, Chipsy, and Dunkin Donuts witnessed a dip in share prices amidst the boycott movement.
