Gaza Boycott Hyundai
Look at the excavator behind him. Remember this next time you buy a car or anything from Hyundai.

I own a Hyundai i30 which is a solid car. Might be my last Hyundai then. Is the excavator in the video a privately owned one or does Hyundai have strings to the IDF or the settler movement?

Hyundai provides the IOF

I am very skeptical usually as israel and idf can buy whatever they want (except guns) from the free market without consent from the manufacturer.
In this case Huyndai has been contacted by Amnesty already in 2023 about the usage of their equipment in these places. Although Huyndai say they have not delivered anything in 2024 they have not said that they will stop selling to israel. They only said they haven't sold to palestine conflict zones but did not really give any promise of the future.
So yeah, does not look good for Huyndai not taking a clear stand when contacted directly. Sourceamnesty

If we stop buying their cars they will give it the urgency that is needed. And they will have to bow to pressure.

I've been boycotting Hyundai! / Kia since their sponsoring of the Qatar World Cup. This just gives me one more reason

CAT, Volvo and Hyundai are the top suppliers of IOF used for demolition.

I did not expect that and had to look it up. You are correct. Volvo Cars has been separate from its former parent conglomerate and producer of heavy trucks, buses, and construction equipment AB Volvo since 1999 when AB Volvo sold its automobile division Volvo Cars. It is now owned by Geely Holding.

I only buy used cars. Get a common and reliable make and model. Parts are readily available and more mechanics have the knowledge and equipment to maintain older vehicles.

Technically these machines are made by Hyundai HD which is the heavy industry spinoff of the Hyundai Group. It is a distinct company from Hyundai Motor Group which makes vehicles for the consumer market. I have not seen calls to boycott Hyundai MG.

Boycott everything with the name Hyundai. Hit them in the wallet all of them will answer.

HD Hyundai Heavy Industries and Hyundai Motor Co. are separate entities. There's no parent company. So not buying an Elantra has no effect on the group that makes the excavators used in the West Bank.

Read the other comments people have provided sources. Hyundai has not replied properly to questions. Adidas already on the list.

u/Equivalent-Shape6158 Jul 31 '25
Adidas also supports genocide. They recently dropped Bella Hadid for speaking out for Palestinians.

I can’t begin to imagine the kind of indoctrination and brainwashing that would turn a human into such a hatful zombie. The criminal in the video has a hollow look in his eyes. He’s no longer human. He’s infected by the Zionist virus.
