The best list I’ve come across is this one, it provides information on why to boycott and in some cases provides a link to supporting evidence: https://www.boycotzionism.com/
Is says of Starbucks:
Howard Shultz is the largest private owner of Starbucks shares and is a staunch zionist who invests heavily in Israel’s economy including a recent $1.7 Billion investment in cybersecurity startup Wiz.
And McDonald’s:
McDonald’s Israel announced that it’s giving away thousands of free meals to the Israel Defence Forces and citizens. Proof
Okay, holy shit, I just did a little googling on Wiz, the company Shultz funded. Three of its four founders were members of Unit 8200 the IDF unit “responsible for clandestine operation, collecting signal intelligence (SIGINT) and code decryption, counterintelligence, cyberwarfare, military intelligence, and surveillance” that is “the foremost technical intelligence agency in the world and stands on a par with the NSA.”
“the foremost technical intelligence agency in the world and stands on a par with the NSA.”
When it comes to spy shit like this I always wonder if the world’s foremost agency isn’t in some bunker in Moscow or Beijing or Tehran laughing its ass off because they’re so good at their jobs their opponents can’t even name them.
So, on the one hand, websites like these are great for collecting and sharing information regarding which companies and people support Israel and how.
But, as BDS points out, the long lists of companies to boycott that go viral often end up having the opposite effect, by making people feel like there’s no point in boycotting any company at all.
If anyone begins to feel that way after looking at all these companies, then just remember to focus your effort on the list endorsed by BDS - not because the other companies are “okay”, but because that way we can collectively have the most impact.
That’s why it’s BDS and not Just Individuals Boycotting. Without all three you won’t get anything done. We don’t even have divestment yet, the US alone is still pouring resources into the genocide, nonetheless actual sanctions. Your overpriced Mcfrappuccino isn’t going to do diddly shit compared to the billions of dollars being shoved directly into war criminal coffers. If you feel uncomfortable with even a penny going to this genocide than you should continue to boycott out of principle, just don’t pretend your personal choices are ever going to change anything on their own, because that’s the same false consciousness that disarmed climate action and look where it got us.

Like… come the fuck on.

The real foremost agency is the SCP Foundation /s
