      Except, Ukraine called for a boycott against Nestle because they are one of the few that keep operating in Russia and nobody listened.

      And Ukraine is actually at war.

      Israel got attacked by a load of extremists and since has been massacring civilians in retaliation. That’s not a war.

    Protesting against Israel’s terror attacks while also boycotting Coca Cola and Nestlé?

    I’m thinking based

      I wish the reason were more reasonable. Coca Cola is the main plastic bottle polluter on the planet, while Nestle has very questionable practices in 3rd world countries, specifically, but not exclusively when it comes to water sources. These would be much better reasons for boycotting these companies than their alleged support of Israel.

      Mainly because support for Israel can be nuanced and on a spectrum as in supporting the current bombing campaign, versus the current right wing extremist government of Israel, versus the support of the apartheid in Israel, versus the right of Israel to exist as an ethno-state for Jewish people. I wonder where Coca Cola and Nestle would land… and where Turkey thinks it draws the line.

        Considering that normally most people don’t care at all, I’ll take what I can get

        Both companies have way too much power to be judged appropriately

    Doing two correct things (dropping coke and nestle, and condemning Israel) for weird unrelated reasons is a good thing I guess.
