For the first time ever, polls show more Americans support Palestine than Israel. The unwavering fealty to Israel of the Democratic Party and a range of other American institutions can’t last forever.
I really wish there was better UX (maybe just with a bigger unified campaign with lots and lots of repeat messaging? idk) for the experience of trying to do BDS on a personal level. I suppose part of that is that Israeli tentacles are everywhere in the US consumer economy.
The big ones are not too hard to avoid tbh (with the exception of google, but even then it’s manageable for non-terminally online and not priority target, dell/hp/intel/reebok/sodastream/disney are perfectly easily boycott-able and advocated for/lied about). The shadiest ones are veggies, potatoes and stuff, only sometimes they put countries of origins there.
