I know McD is a major aspect of the boycott, but isn't BK also being boycotted rn?

[–] Keeponstalin@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah

McDonald’s (US), Burger King (US), Papa John’s (US), Pizza Hut (US), WIX (Israel), etc. are now being targeted in some countries by grassroots organic boycott campaigns, not initiated by the BDS movement. BDS supports these boycott campaigns because these companies, or their branches or franchisees in Israel, have openly supported apartheid Israel and/or provided generous in-kind donations to the Israeli military amid the current genocide. If these grassroots campaigns are not already organically active in your area, we suggest focusing your energies on our strategic campaigns above.

Thanks for sharing that link. I had no idea about that website.

The app is nice too (No Thanks) you just need to scan the barcode to check if something is on the boycott list. Pretty sure it's on both Android and iOS

Maybe he killed his first enemy combatant and realized he wasn't a soldier?

[–] PeachyMcPeachface@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

What does that have to do with boycotting?

Oops. Sorry about that. I opened the Voyager app and found an unsent reply, and was like, "I thought I sent this."

And I hit send.

But apparently, if you've had the Voyager web app minimized... and come back to it after 30-40 minutes... AND hit send... it might just reply to a totally unrelated comment in the same post.

No worries, I was just confused
