Why Boycottt?

Boycott Movement

The Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement is a Palestinian-led movement promoting boycotts, divestments, and economic sanctions against Israel. Its objective is to pressure Israel to meet what the BDS movement describes as Israel's obligations under international law.

Key Principles

  • Boycott - Withdraw support from Israel's apartheid regime and the companies and institutions that maintain it
  • Divestment - Pressure institutions, businesses, and governments to withdraw investments from Israel
  • Sanctions - Pressure governments to end military trade, free-trade agreements, and expel Israel from international forums

Boycott Guidelines

Consumer Guidelines

  1. Check product origins - Look for the barcode that starts with 729 (indicating Israel as the country of origin)
  2. Research parent companies - Many brands are owned by larger companies with ties to Israel
  3. Choose alternatives - Support local or ethical alternatives to Israeli products
  4. Spread awareness - Share information about boycotted products with friends and family
