The senate of the University of #Barcelona (UB) approves a motion calling for the university to break all institutional and academic ties with Israel, including centers, research institutes, companies, and other institutions in Israel
@grivettcarnac yes it really is about food insecurity. The founders of the #boycottloblaws movement this May over on Reddit were very sensitive to the needs of people who find it difficult to boycott because of economic situation and lack of local competition that limits choice. They have published a whole range of #boycott options including buying only loss leaders, letter writing campaign, petitions and social sharing. I do feel privileged to join in solidarity https://www.reddit.com/r/loblawsisoutofcontrol/comments/1ck0sl6/boycott_updates/
If I am allowed to suggest the boycott in Malaysia, I would like to say that it is better to boycott Meta Platforms than fast food retails like KFC. Local workers working for KFC are affected and probably going to lose their jobs. Meanwhile, Meta Platforms get profits from your data for profits (which can be used to fuel the war) and surveillance (providing data who supports each party of the war).
You can start from the smallest thing: remove your accounts not related with your businesses/incomes, use other platforms than WhatsApp for family/friend groups.
"A group of shoppers who say they are fed up with the company's grocery prices said that as of Wednesday they would start boycotting the retailer's flagship Loblaws stores."
More power to them, but I'm pretty sure that deciding to shop somewhere else with lower prices is just, well, shopping. I wouldn't be inclined to call that a boycott.
Or perhaps I've been boycotting all sorts of shops for most of my life!
Disgust Greets #WhiteHouse Correspondents' Dinner as Israel Kills #Journalists in Gaza
"To sit and schmooze with the president while he sends billions of dollars in weapons to Israel to kill their colleagues in #Gaza is unethical and immoral."
On Saturday night, U.S. reporters and government officials—including President Joe #Biden—will gather at the Washington Hilton Hotel for the annual White House #Correspondents' Dinner, a glitzy, humor-filled affair that has faced mounting #boycott calls
"Overall, we are pretty much like Russia now, only it isn't official yet with us. That may actually be worse, because if it were official, at least we'd be able to fight it," says Adar Shafran ("Running on Sand"), the director and head of the Israeli Producers Association. "When they want to submit a film to a festival, the Russians are told in advance not to do so. We aren't told that – our films simply aren't accepted."

"I've just returned from the London Book Fair, which is one of the most important annual events in our industry," says Ziv Lewis, the acquisitions editor at Kinneret Zmora-Bitan Dvir publishing house. "I arrive at every fair with a book or two of ours, and try to sell the translation rights internationally. This time I didn't even try. Based on what I gathered and heard, there has never been a worse time for Israeli art. There's no open door and no desire to listen."
"we are being treated – institutions, artists, curators, private individuals – the same way that Russia is viewed, only in our case it is perhaps worse. If before the war I could hang on to the idea that I didn't represent the government, & I identified myself as left-wing and pro-Palestinian, today the categories have changed. I can't say anything like that at all, and I won't have the opportunity to say it. In many places we are simply persona non grata, almost Satan."
Whilst the US is providing $Ms, #Israel will make no effort to behave like a civilised country. But the UK is just as shamed and inveigled by knowingly selling/providing arms to Israel. The governments of many Western powers are standing behind Israel. It is up to consumers/tourists to #boycott the country & its products.
