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)

Also, I saw in the comments in the news mega that a huge amount of Israel’s exports are in tourism and diamonds. Not like anyone here is planning trips to Israel, but you shouldn’t buy diamonds anyway.

Wait do they have diamond mines or are most of the lab grown diamonds coming from there?

I think they do a lot of cutting and polishing, i.e. they import raw stones and manufacture them into diamonds.
