Seems like the boycott calls for companies that allegedly supported the Israeli government and their invasion on Gaza is still on going.
But let's put all of that aside (let's look at this from a neutral standpoint) and focus on 1 particular point.
How do we know whether the company REALLY did support the Israel via profit/donation and etc?

I mean, like McD has been the target of boycott, with the masses calling for boycott because McD Malaysia is allegedly supporting Israel.
So, this is people saying McD support Israel.
But McD Malaysia also did issue statement that they are 100% muslim owned entity, and did not support Israel.
So, how do we know which one is truth?

[Hype] 100% muslim owned entity McDonalds Malaysia denies support for Israel

In the link, also there is some interesting take.
Seems like, declaring no support for Israel, doesn't really mean much to Malaysians as well, since they say, McD didn't say they support Palestine, thus they are somewhat an eligible target for boycott?

Side question:
How do we categorize things?
is it:
A. Support Palestine v Neutral/Indifference v Support Israel
OR
B. Support Palestine v dan lain-lain (means support Israel)

Starbucks is another one entity that seems to be caught in crossfire.
Some party (in US) used Starbucks logo to profess support for Israel.
Then, naturally, Starbucks will deny that (because as a business, it's better to stay neutral).
And because of this denial, some pro-Israel movement, decided to boycott Starbucks (in US), because they did not show support for Israel.
on the other hand, Starbucks somehow is always linked to support for Israel (despite them saying no), and thus, pro-Palestine movement also decides to boycott Starbucks in US.

So, how do we actually know we are boycotting the right thing or not? what if suddenly someone said, XXX brand is supporting israel, we boycott. then we just buta buta boycott?

pls dont ask so much and just boikot

i wanna enjoy cheaper prices and more promos

is up to their own wish and dream

dia mau boycott hak dia kek

so there is really no logic here?
boycott ikut hati?

like, dun really care whether starbucks is supporting israel/hamas
if feel they support israel, then just boycott.

but this is not as simple as that right?
Kpop artists drink starbucks, also some netizens mata merah d.
shouldn't there be some clearer guidelines, so is easier for others to follow?

like Mercedes openly said they will donate to Israel.
Then if XXX buy Mercedes, we boycott them also?
or depends on people again?
If A buy mercedes, boycott!
if B buy mercedes, no choice la. people want buy what car, they like, we boycott the brand we want boycott, is enough d.

Jangan tanya soalan susah

Kita ada imam yang boleh kita rujuk untuk panduan hidup

nearly all restaurants suppork them

please boikot

preferably around lunch time and dinner time

https://www.reuters.com/technology/intel-ge...ant-2023-12-26/

is this boikot-able?

When it is convenient, boycott lah.
When it's not convenient, ignore.

Imagine if rokok companies support Israel. Think can boycott? No way.

I appreciate the deep thoughts you have put through

but unfortunately I'm more interested in which brand will kena boikot and will have promo like buy 1 free 1 starbucks
sry for being opportunist

I understand that if it is not convenient, then ignore.

but what about others? as in, will there be no judgment for people that actually go to these boycott-ed places?

like let's say for A, he can boycott starbucks (too expensive, and he prefer kopi o from restaurants anyway), but he cannot boycott intel / facebook. So, he focus his boycott on starbucks alone.

but then for B, he just loves starbucks (let's say he is addicted to it, or like this case [msn] k pop idols sudden love for starbucks face backlash amid palestine israel boycott, he is paid to drink it), but somehow because he not a techy person, so he can survive without devices, and decides to boycott intel instead (throw his old laptop away).

then A see B buy starbucks, he mata merah, and scold B insensitive.
Then how?

When someone use religion card, there needs no justification or actual proof. That’s how believer mentality operate.

One can incite ppl to do nasty things just playing religion card.

B oycott all western brands. Buty local.

Simple answer is...jangan persoal. And especially jangan tanya soalan susah.

Especially if you are non.

Please la boikott harder

Tunggu cheaper price still

Diu

👀🍷🍟🤤

Hardly see them boycott Google, Intel, Whatsapp, Apple, Boeing plane, IG, Facebook.

Soal boikot mana yang patut itu betul ke tidak tak penting, yang penting keikhlasan boikot tersebut aka Jangan tanya soalan susah

but now non (kpop artist) drink/advertise starbucks, and face backlash wo.

this sounds like those situation where
"i know this thing affects you, but it is not your (religion) issue, therefore, don't step into this" (example: concerts, cosplay, festivals, alcohol)
