Put your money where your mouth is by boycotting companies that have shown support for and/or profit from the genocide committed by Israel in Palestine:

STOP FUNDING GENOCIDE

I will be expanding this as I can. Including, but not limited to the subsidiaries listed.

I'm going to list more "mainstream" companies that people might recognize first and work from there.


*Unfortunately, some of the alternatives here are just settling for companies that have been silent on the genocide, rather than openly supporting Israel; I will try to differentiate later. From what I can find, the companies under Alternatives are boycott safe.

*Alternatives listed based on what I can find specifically involving the Palestine and Israel conflict, it'll take more time to look into the ethics and entire background of the companies but will also be adding them as I learn more.

I'm doing my best.

Ben & Jerry's* - This one is sticky.

Protest of Disney's support of Israel and Disney's funding of genocide in Palestine

Entertainment:


  • Netflix

  • Disney - From its treatment of its workers, the Disney+ free trial and wrongful death suit, censoring Jimmy Kimmel (and others), and supporting Israel, it's been time, y'all.

    • Hulu

    • ESPN

    • Pixar

    • Marvel

    • A&E

    • FX

    • National Geographic

    • ABC

    • 21st Century Fox

  • Apple - Another non shocker, but still, gross.

    • However, Samsung is also shady with its ties to Israel, and Google gives software to aid the IDF.

    • Smartphones are going to be unethical, regardless of how you cut it, and there is no ethical consumption under capitalism, so you've got to do what works best for you. Just worth the mention.

  • Warner Brothers

  • Google (Alphabet Inc.)- mentioned previously, but worth another.

    • YouTube

    • It would take me all day to list all of Google's subsidiaries; most are AI based. Gross.

  • Microsoft

  • Comcast

  • META

  • The NBA and NFL

  • Skydance

  • Zoom

  • Fox Corporation (Separate from 21st Century Fox)

  • BBC

  • Forbes

  • Paramount


Alternative Entertainment:


  • Dropout.tv -- I will recommend Dropout until I am dead. No notes. 10/10.

  • Qobuz - Music streaming

  • NBC - Struggling to find more information on this one, will come back.

Travel:


  • Marriott

  • Booking dot com

  • Tripadvisor

  • Keller Williams

Alternative Travel:

  • Bruh, do we even have enough air traffic controllers for you to feel comfortable travelling? Stay home, man, I've seen Yellowjackets.

  • Audi

  • BMW

  • Porsche

  • Volkswagen

  • Ford

  • Volvo

  • GM

  • Hyundai

  • Progressive

It's so important to note that a lot of these things won't have an easy alternative. Some of these things are just going to have to be gone without, if possible. Some things, there just won't be a work around or alternative.


I'll state it again: There is no ethical consumption under capitalism. All we can do is our best, keep going.

I do need to point out the irony of this post being on Wix, I found out during my research that this is an Israeli company that supports the IDF and will course correct when my subscription is up. Incredibly embarrassing.
