It makes sense, though. Making BDS too broad or easy to qualify into kind of dilutes the list by having too many companies be in it. It’s better to have a clear, limited call to action.
Most corporations, especially due to being owned by very large monopolies, have direct or indirect support for Israel. Nearly every western product has ties to Israel, thus I suggest buying things used, second hand, local, or find diy solutions.
Boycotting a company like Coke is really difficult. People like the product to the point of addiction, there are a thousand subsidiaries to track, and they’re so big that you need real numbers to make a dent. You have to get a lot of people on the same page to manage it, but with the McDonald’s boycott making progress, BDS is encouraged and hoping to press what it sees as an advantage.
It wasn’t part of the list already? Wow I just assumed because coke is so evil they would’ve been a shoe-in.
pretty sure they’ve been on the list?
edit: read the thread and I guess not? weird

They’ve had organised boycotts against them by smaller orgs but BDS is the biggest org so far that’s officially called a Coca-Cola boycott.
I guess not the official list, but from the No Thanks app, there’s this info regarding Coca-Cola: http://www.inminds.com/boycott-coca-cola.html

You’re right! It just goes to show that sometimes you can just assume things that aren’t true because they feel right.
No investigation, no right to speak, and so on.
