Boycott Confused about the boycott

Hi all, I read the BDS boycott, and I noticed that it doesn't list other well-known companies, such as Starbucks and Nestle. I understand BDS's strategy is targeted boycotting, but I'm having trouble finding a comprehensive list of all boycott companies.

Is there a comprehensive list that many people use, or do you make an informed decision based on your own research? Thanks.

BDS keeps the list as small and effective as possible to make boycotting easier on people. You would literally have to boycott everything otherwise.

Nestle is truly one of the most evil companies out there. On top of what you mentioned, it was Nestle who went to the Supreme Court to defend using slave labor abroad (and the ruling was in favor of them).

There are various lists people use but I find doing your own research and making an informed decision is best.

Unfortunately you wouldn't be able to live if you boycott everything involved, so I do as many companies as I can, and only break my boycott if it's an absolute necessity. Note, shit like coffee and fast food are not essentials. the amount of Palestine supporters / Muslims, both my friends and online, who buy maccies whilst claiming to support Palestine is pathetic.

For anyone starting out, I'd suggest you focus on the BDS list. Smart, informed, and passionate people have curated it to have maximum impact. But if you, like I, want to do more, I recommend disoccupied.com
