The height of the international call against Israel’s destruction of Gaza

Protests to end Israel’s mistreatment of Palestinians are becoming increasingly cold.

Seeing the domesticated Israel in Israel that is happening in Gaza has had an impact around the world, and the call to Israel is Israel at all times.

Silent adoption, which began in supermarkets almost decades ago, has turned into widely used applications that help millions make purchasing decisions.

Campus protests and tents in the US and Canada have led some major educational institutions to cut ties with Israeli partners, while investments in Israel have been withdrawn, and some of the world’s largest economies have accepted Palestine as a state.

Dr. Mohammed Mustafa is a Palestinian Australian doctor who left his parents in El-Balah in central Gaza decades ago in search of a better life.

He volunteered at Gaza hospitals two years ago and shared it all on Social Media, including his visits to Gaza, attending conferences and supporting the Palestinians.

He says the experience of watching a domesticated genocide has changed many people.

“For many years, the Palestinians felt as if they were shouting into the void. Now, to see people on the continents who will go, build justice, and give you justice – it also gives hope that the conscience of the world is finally waking up.

“When I was young, I never imagined that this level of global solidarity … to see that turn now … is deeply moving. It feels like the truth at last.

About 50,000 Palestine April in two years

In recent months, pro-Palestinian protests have seen a noticeable peak – between May and September 2025, they increased by 43 percent compared to five months before.

In the last two years, there have been at least 49,000 protests in Palestine in all 133 countries and territories, according to the Project on Debates and Events (ACEDED).

The highest number of Pro-Palestine letters were written in Morocco (15,466), followed by Morocco (5,482), Turkey (2,9,9,9,9,3,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,30), France (1,1019), Spain (1,102) and Australia (967).

The map below shows the locations of the 49,000 protests in Palestine held between October 7, 2023, and October 3, 2025.

The growth of bankruptcy

Israel has grown more, the founder of boodcott, separatism, and the organization (BDS) movement, Omar Barghouti, told Al Jazeera.

BDS was launched in 2005 to oppose Palestinian rights and end Israel’s occupation and apartheid by focusing on wisdom, not people.

Barghouti comes from a Palestinian family deeply involved in politics and culture. Among the famous barghoutis is Fatah Leader Marwan Barghouti, who is serving several life sentences in an Israeli prison.

“The BDS movement has played a very important role in increasing the division of the Israeli occupation state on the other side of metlerler-colonialism, apartheid and now,” said Sarghouti.

Barhouti noted that even the Chairman of the Israel Export Institute, Avi Balashnikov, had agreed to the challenges of international trade.

Balashnikov, in mind the conference of tech 2024, said: “Boys of the economy and organizations of major challenges, and in other countries, we are forced to work under the radar.”

“BDS achieved this effect by turning the great sadness, anger and solidarity expressed by tens of millions around the world into strategic, ineffective campaigns,” Barghouti added.

The BDS movement has identified many companies that are seen as admirable for Israel’s operations, human rights violations, or apartheid policies.

Their campaigns are divided into three main groups:

• Most important objectives: Companies and institutions with a proven record of compliance with Israeli apartheid and occupation. The BDS movement calls for a complete boycott of these products.

• Poll Suppression: Companies are actively suppressing BDs through the use of boy articles (where alternatives exist), lobbying, peaceful protests, social media campaigns, and strategic legal actions.

• Organic Expulsion: Grassroots campaigns started with local communities, which BDS supports because of the clear branding of the Israelis against the Palestinians.

How do people fit it?

Sumayya Rashid *, a 45-year-old mother living in the United Arab Emirates, has been teaching her 11-year-old daughter about what Palestinian children face and how to explain to her certain types of genocide.

“We don’t have anything else from McDonald’s, KFC, Pizza Hut or Carshid.

Rashid says her daughter is immersed in Palestinian culture because of the school and the community around it.

“Let him understand the enormity of the genocide, but he knows that we cannot support Israel as they belong to the Organization of Violence.”

Rashid found it easy to find alternatives in the UAE, but relies on the Boycat app to double-check any items he’s unsure about.

BOYCAT is one of several mobile applications launched over the years to help consumers find boycotted products – it is partnered with the BDS movement, helping to follow the BDS goals.

Across the Atlantic, in Toronto, Canada, is 26-year-old Jaspreet *, who feels that there are further restrictions on speaking out in support of Palestine in Canada.

“Palestine brought a lot of things in a big way to us. It just looks down your morning coffee cup, and to see this is a basic need, a need, which is comfortable.

“Kids can’t play in the street without fear of being bombed – it’s something I never thought about,” Kaur said.

“I can’t remember the last time I had Starbucks or McDonald’s, or airbnb or booking.com,” she said.

Kaur says that she is reserved as much as possible, using applications to guide her, but that some consumer goods from multinationals have entered her life due to budget problems.

On top of her shopping choices, Kaur has found it difficult to be vocal about supporting Palestine while working on the company’s finances.

“I don’t go to as many protests as possible, I took my phone case and removed the Palestinian flag from my Instagram Bio, I can’t be as cold as I need to be,” she said.

As a foreigner waiting to become a citizen, Kaur says that she feels in her actions and thoughts about Palestine that she is not so welcome at work.

What is the boodcott effect?

The guys who not only affect the bottom lines of several companies are associated with living in Israel but also lead to investments that have been taken out of Israel and politics in it, increasing economic and political pressure.

In November 2024, the French Carrefour chain closed all its stores in Jordan.

BDs have long highlighted Carrefour’s business with Israeli companies in illegal areas of the western-attacked bank.

The company also branched out from Kuwait, Oman, and Bahrain, with its locations reopening as Hypermax, a local regional chain presented by regional franchisee, Majid al Futuam.

The ban is seen as a major win for the movement, which shows the power of consumer campaigns in multinational corporations.

The two largest US chains and beverage chains, McDonald’s and Starbucks, have felt the effect of sales and popular backlash, especially in the Middle East and other Muslim countries such as Malaysia and Indonesia.

During earnings call in January 2024, McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinkki said the fast food giant had seen a “meaningful impact” in several markets.

Starbucks has reported three consecutive quarters of global sales declines, with revenue falling 2 percent by 2024.

In September, the giant announced plans to close dozens of US stores and lay off about 900 workers as part of a $1bn reskegrective move to bring back operations.

Differences, sanctions and political measures

In September, the Spanish government canceled an arms deal with Israel worth about 700 million Euros ($815m). Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez once announced the next law to ban military trade with Israel, which went into effect result on October 9.

In 2024, the Norwegian pension fund and the axance’s AXA from Israel’s properties linked to residential properties.

Ireland, Denmark, and the Netherlands’ Pension Fund

In June, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Norway and the United Kingdom were officially recognized by the Israeli ministers of Itamarar Ben-Gvir and Bezalemanye who are violent “against the Palestinian Bank and Gaza.

In the same month, Ireland, Slovenia and Spain requested the suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement.

Sweden is also back with the Council of Europe to impose sanctions “against Israeli clerics who promote illegal activities and actively work against the negotiated two-state solution.”

Witnessing in Palestine the turning of the Global Tide, Mastafa says he feels that the Palestinian movement has become “one of the most powerful movements in the social justice movement.

“It has brought together people from all walks of life – faith-based, secular, indigenous, and global – uniting them under a shared need for human dignity.

“Because of this, I believe that the Palestinian movement will shape how future wars are fought and understood,” he said.

UN recruitment

The UN human rights office, since 2020, has maintained a database of companies involved in illegal Israeli business in a western bank attacked by the west.

In its September 2025 review, it listed 158 firms operating within residential areas. is considered illegal by the International Court of Justice.

While almost 90 percent of the companies are Israeli, this list includes multinationals registered in Canada, China, France, Germany, Portugal, Spain, the UK and the US.

These include well-known companies such as airbnb, booking.com, expedia, Motorola, Re / Max and TripAdvisor.
