It's interesting how my personal boycotts have lasted over the years.
I said I was never buying another Nike product about 8 years ago and I haven't. In fact I don't miss having Nike around at all. I haven't missed shopping at Target or Walmart for last 5 years.
I do, however, still purchase Starbucks hot chocolate mix from Amazon no matter how mad I get at the company.
I don't buy Tysons chicken and don't remember ever buying it. I suppose I've eaten it if it's used at a restaurant. I wouldn't know.
I do believe in boycotts. The Disney boycott is effective and hopefully enlightening for some.

RE: Globalist want us to eat Bugs & Human flesh... seriously
SUBTOPIC:
※→ et al,
There is a QUESTION as to what the subject of the protest is... What are they saying?
(COMMENT)
This was not just a surprise attack on the idea of "sovereignty" for which Article 51 of the UN Charter was written, but cry in support of a people that have done nothing to make a contribution to humanity. They are a parasite on civilization.
I am waiting for an International Court of Justice (ICJ) in the determination South Africa has made based on the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (CPPCG). South Africa has made the claim that Israel has the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, Namely the Islamic Resistance Movement (HAMAS) which is a designated terrorist group by the European Union (EU).
Interestingly enough that the ICJ made a judgement (Judgment of the Court (Grand Chamber) of 26 July 2017 Council of the European Union v Hamas) would not make a ruling, but instead, set the case back to the General Court of the EU. And as recently as 2019, the EU has made it clear that the
Court rejects Hamas claims
However, the General Court ruled
that Hamas is not a sovereign state and could not rely on the principle of non-interference to annul the EU's decision. Furthermore, it ruled that Hamas had not shown that its political and armed wings are separate.In its ruling, the court cited several instances of Hamas carrying out terrorist attacks on Israelis and foreigners.
The decision can be appealed before the European Court of Justice.
In December, the General Court rejected a separate appeal by Hamas for the EU to unfreeze its assets.
Hamas advocates armed struggle and does not recognize Israel.
The court decision comes as the Gaza Strip suffers from a mounting humanitarian crisis, in part caused by three wars with Israel since 2008 and an Israeli-Egyptian blockade.
AS OF 6 MARCH 2019
Let us remember that HAMAS is a terrorist Group, that yet again, initiated open hostilities with the State of Israel.THE GENERAL COURT (First Chamber, Extended Composition)
hereby:
1. Dismisses the action;
2. Orders Hamas to bear its own costs and to pay those incurred by the Council of the European Union;
3. Orders the European Commission to bear its own costs.
AS OF 3 FEB 2022. HAMAS remained on the updated Terrorist Listing>In II. GROUPS AND ENTITIES: ‘Hamas’, including ‘Hamas-Izz al-Din al-Qassem’.

Cannot say I have a very high opinion of anything South Africa has to say. That logic and fact have nothing to do with whatever it is they yammer on about is an understatement. I had the misfortune of listening to South Africa talk for as long as I could bear it on the issue of Russia being the victim of Russia's unprovoked attack on the Ukraine. He talked in circles, using big words trying to appear educated, and provided nothing to support his statement.
I read South Africa's charges against Israel a couple of days ago. Each time I walk away amazed that such stupidity can manage to actually sustain itself. Not hard to figure out how current government turned a thriving economy into a poorhouse. Basis of most of its arguments are trying to stretch any and everything with very thin thread into a comparison to Apartheid. The be-all end-all of any discussion just as the US left silences critics with the accusation of racism.
Accusing Israel of genocide for its determination to erase a criminal organization is quite the imaginative use and stretch of the word genocide. The destruction of ISIS didn't appear to have many detractors by mostly the same crowd of chair-polishers. So when it suits the accuser, an organization can be misconstrued as a "people"/race/ethnicity.
The only difference is who the attacks were against. To make matters worse, the chair-polishing bureaucrats in these various World organizations that see themselves as someone do nothing but talk and punt the football. Afraid of the backlash for making determinations based on fact rather than public popularity.
Hamas should never have been recognized by anyone as anything more than it is or every was. A criminal terrorist organization of alleged religion zealots who in my opinion put the profits of war ahead of even their religion and couldn't hold jobs at McDonald's if there was peace.
