Starbucks and McDonalds Boycott: Online Activism Gains Momentum

Call for Consumer Action

In the wake of the recent conflict, activists have taken to the internet to urge consumers to boycott Starbucks and McDonalds over their perceived support for Israel's actions. The hashtag #BoycottStarbucks and #BoycottMcDonalds have been trending on social media, as protest groups organize rallies outside stores and circulate online petitions demanding action.

Origins and Impact

The call for a boycott originated online shortly after the conflict began. Activists argue that these brands are complicit in the ongoing violence by continuing to operate in Israel. McDonalds has reported a decline in quarterly sales due to boycotts related to the war.

Unclear Connection

The extent to which the online activism has influenced these companies' business operations is unclear. However, the boycott has undoubtedly raised awareness of the issue and put pressure on Starbucks and McDonalds to respond.
