While I’m generally skeptical of boycotts, BDS scares the shit out of Israel. Because I do believe if BDS becomes a global movement it really could change things. I’ll start with the list from bdsmovement.net and then add to the list as people list other companies to boycott in the comments:

Hewlett-Packard (computer hardware)

Siemens (tech conglomerate)

AXA (banking & insurance)

Puma (clothing)

Israeli fruits and vegetables (usually labeled)

SodaStream (idk that garbage home soda)

Ahava (cosmetics)

Sabra (hummus)

For the soda stream one good trick is to buy the machine (which they sell as a loss leader), and buy a 5lbs CO2 tank from a beer supply store for which you can find adapters on AliExpress or eBay!

https://www.indigosoda.ca/en/ is another alternative, made in Quebec, Canada. It's also fully SodaStream compatible trololo.jpg

If your carbonation didn't work well in a keg, it's probably because your liquid isn't cold enough.

wish I didnt lose the co2 tank I think this is the move yeah.

Yeah I use a 5lb tank to refill the sodastream canister, probably costs me around $5 per refill (compared to the $23 they charge). Saving money and boycotting an evil company feels good.
