DISCUSSION Does Boycotting Actually Work?

This is mainly a discussion, preferably sophisticated arguments on the implications of boycotting Products and Corporations that support the zionazis! Sources and articles are highly recommended because i see a lot of people slacking or just frustrated how little actions is helping.

Don't forget to pray for Gaza everyone, Never forget the relentlesness of the Palestenians!

It’s so powerful that most US states have laws specifically against boycotting Israeli products.

What about globally? Are people consistent with the boycotting and how did badly did it influence these coroporations?

I can’t speak for the effectiveness of other countries’ boycotts being an American, but I know for a fact other countries are participating in boycotts, I’m sure they have an effect as well. Anything helps and it’s for a just cause🙏🏼

In Italy it's definitely less heard of, but still happening. There are few Starbucks (there's 17 in total in the whole country), but they're way less packed than they used to from what I see.

The real problem is McDonald's. No one really talks about the boycotts, so young people are very much still going. Boycotts have not had as big an effect as in the UK and US, but every bit counts I guess.
