A couple of weeks ago I've seen that BDS officially sustained the Scream 7 boycott and I was wondering if there was any way, or a list even better, to know which media that are going to come out BDS asks precisely to boycott. If anyone would be so kind to me to provide an answer, I'll take it.

For a while I've been wanting to do some volunteering to try and gain some work experience and to feel like I'm giving back to the community, and I have a charity shop nearby that belongs to British Red Cross (I'm in the UK). I know that, either way, it's a charity, and I wouldn't exactly be paying them anything, but I know that some charity's stances can be questionable/too neutral sometimes. So my question is, does British Red Cross support Palestine fully? I tried researching it, but everything seemed kind of neutral and ambiguous I guess.. And I just wanted some clarity. Thank you in advance!

Donation protected My name is Marie Kerbiriou, I am an engineer in France and I am fundraising on behalf of Farah and his son, Joe. The aim of this fundraiser is to ensure the family's daily survival. The family's daily survival requires 50 dollars a day just to eat and drink 100 per blanket. The family is living in the rubble of their former home. The family is in North Gaza, cut off from all humanitarian aid.
These are their words :
Hello, I am Farah. Joe is my son, an eight-year-old child, born in the most beautiful city in the world, Gaza.
Here is what Joe want to tell to you : I love my school, my friends and my teacher. I love my toys, I always preserve them and take good care of them so they don’t break. My mother used to keep my toys when I was a child, when I was one day old, and until now. I learned from my mother how to take care of our little house, it is the most beautiful and warmest place in the world. My brother used to share my room, and my window overlooked the Al-Rimal neighborhood, which my father told me no longer exists, along with my house and school. I asked him about my toys, and he told me that they had burned and that I had to grow up to help him protect my little sisters.
On October 7, everything changed - everything. The stones, trees, houses, roads, buildings, even the amusement park that I loved more than anything else disappeared. We woke up that morning to a terrifying sound that I had never heard in my life, and now that scene cannot leave my mind. The sky that morning looked like stars were falling to the ground. I remember that day well, the day I was injured in the head as a result of the direct shelling on us and our beautiful home. The shrapnel in my head still hurts me every night. I ask my mother and father why I was injured and why my head hurts? Why is there no doctor to treat us or medicine to heal us and relieve my pain and remove the scar from my head?
I left my house carrying my pajamas and a football, hoping to return after a few days, but I discovered that it was over, and that there was no return to that city. We were displaced more than once, so many times that I cannot remember them all. Some nights we slept in the street with no roof to protect us, and other nights we slept in tents with the rain pouring down on us and the wind tearing the tent apart. We went through all those stages without food or drink. The water was very polluted, and one time I got hepatitis.
Now, in Gaza, everything is expensive. We need around 50 dollars each day, just to drink and eat ! We also need blankets... Please help us survive each day.
Leaving Gaza is the hardest part. Unfortunately, they ask us for huge sums of money to leave. They ask each one of us for $5,000, but now the crossing is closed so we wait.
I want to live a decent and happy life, go to my school, and play my favorite football. Help me build a happy and beautiful life.
Thanks to everyone who helped me and listened to my story. I love you all 02/02/2025 update As of 02/02/2025 Yosef is need to leave Gaza as soon as possible to seek urgent care after developing holes in his heart he has recently lost consciousness multiple times now and needs 3900.
I was looking for new sneakers and saw someone recommend Diadora. They look great, and seemed BDS friendly.
I did a little digging and found they are the current (2024-2025) and longtime kitmaker for Hapoel Haifa (for most of the team’s existence starting in 1987). They are also the current (2024-2025) kitmaker for Ironi Kiryat Shmona since 2023. Previously, they were kitmaker for Maccabi Tel Aviv for a number of years.
For me, this is a no-brainer boycott. Wanted to let people know since they popped up a few times on different threads as a safe company.

Israeli media called the released video with hostage Liri Albag "psychological warfare." After her release, Albag revealed shooting the video was her suggestion. So who was the real psychological warfare warrior? And the fact that they agreed and respected her choice not to be in tunnels

BDS needs to see this, in case many have missed it. But apparently, all AI chatbot companies in the US appear to be working with defense contractors, tied to Israel, forcing us practicing BDS to work with Chinese based AI companies. Here is a screenshot of GPT putting Antrhopic in front of the bus.
OpenAI also censors a bit and is also complicit, so GPT doesn't mention Israel, but we all know what "war crimes" it is talking about.

Hi all,
I don't want to keep buying Nespresso pods for obvious reason, but I also don't want to throw away my machine bc it's just really quick and convenient as someone who works full time and goes to school.
I've dug pretty hard for an alternative to their pods (Original Line) and almost every option comes up as non-BDS compliant. Even Illy and Lavazza aren't compliant ugh. Nothing is authentic anymore, it's all owned by some megacorp now.
After a ton of research I found a company called The Cru Kafe which seem ethically sourced and are even organic. I tried a few from them and it wasn't bad, so I don't mind continuing to get my pods from them. The problem is that they had to ship from the UK and it was like $15 for shipping to the US...
I was wondering if anyone had any other alternatives they recommend?
