Some boycotted products have plummeted in price here, and alternatives have taken their place on the shelves. Some stores and people did use this to buy them in bulk, but if this boycott isn't forgotten like the past ones, then supporting Israel may become a taboo. We may also get more statements like the McDonald's CEO statement clarifying that the middle east franchise is separate from the US one. And maybe more pathetic sights like this one:
Many McDonaldβs operators in the region quickly distanced themselves from the Israeli operatorβs actions. Franchise groups in Kuwait, Pakistan and other countries issued statements saying they did not share ownership with the Israeli franchise, and some of those franchises noted they have made financial donations to aid those in Gaza.
That's why BDS focuses on only a small group of companies to boycott, like HP and Puma, or the very distastefully-named Hummus "Sabra".

I thought Sabra was a nickname for an Israeli person?
Yeah it probably is.
McDonalds has a lot of franchising going on but their parent company still remains the same. They all pay royalties for the brand name. Boycott McDonalds even in other countries.
That's one reason for my support of the boycott. Additionally, getting accused of supporting Israel should feel like the crime it is. Even firms just relating to you or using your brand should feel the weight of their crime.
People should be seeking local alternatives to the products they use even if this whole massacre wasn't going on; We have a hell of a lot more control over local companies than we have over some company in the US or Germany.
