      Israel, its many crimes aside, has a deeply integrated economy into a lot of our tech. Basically any advanced technology companies either or both have a research site in Israel or acquired an Israeli company. The BDS list is an ok starting point, but recognize that it’s kind of arbitrary and has a lot of gaps as well companies whose presence on it is a little questionable.

          Wow reading a page to see a list of companies that support an active genocide is too much to ask?

          You can reject all cookies and still see everything. You really have to invent unpassable obstacles just to find an excuse to not do the bare minimum?

          We’re not asking you to donate, we’re not asking you to fight, we’re simply asking you to avoid giving your money to corporations that profit off the genocide industry, and you’ll help your own country and give your children a chance at a better future by not supporting corporations with extremely oppressive practices.

          The BDS list is the bare minimum you can do, you can also try to be conscious in how you spend your money outside of that by checking each product you consume individually. This app makes it easy to scan and a barcode and instantly know if the product is made by a company that directly opposes your principals: https://www.boycat.io/
