My local Lidl has sodastream machines this week and I was wondering if its annoying/unnecessary to put a little post it note on it saying its an israel product or something

Edit: thanks for all the replies, I ended up messaging the customer service and I left a piece of paper with “boycott Israeli products” with my shitty handwriting on a sodastream box, I didn’t stick anything anywhere so hopefully this will avoid any “vandalism” accusations.

    It also benefits movements through the radical flank effect. (e.g. when white people saw the Black Panther Party carrying guns to protect their community, MLK Jr’s fairly peaceful sit-ins seemed not that bad in comparison, and when having to make a choice on whether or not to give black people rights, it was easier to justify doing so if the perceived alternative was “black people in the streets with guns”)

    In this case, the options then become “buy products that always have random sticky notes and are telling me I’m a bad person” vs “grab the product that doesn’t have the sticky notes”.

    If it becomes increasingly annoying to buy products which support Israel because there’s constantly little sticky notes/stickers, people pushing things further back on shelves or flipping products around, etc, then it becomes a lot easier to justify just… not bothering buying the products that are being boycotted. (and it also saves people the hassle of looking up which products are being boycotted, which just makes the lives of anti-Zionists easier)
