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)

America is very small business brained. I think it’s easier to shame a bruncher into dropping their favorite restaurant and that restaurant doing damage control and dropping Israeli products (assuming it’s not illegal, because otherwise they’ll use that as an excuse).

BDS is one of the few boycotting movements that work, otherwise Israel wouldn’t be spending tens of millions of dollars to criminalize it in a foreign country. But because of the lobby it could be difficult to convince petite bougs to go along. But the shame factor is still important
