McDonald’s has lost over $7 billion in revenue due to a boycott campaign initiated by pro-Palestinians around the globe against Israel’s barbarism in Gaza.

Great job, everyone! Remember to support locally-owned restaurants over these corrupt US food monopolies.

Snip:

McDonald’s has lost over $7 billion in revenue due to a boycott campaign initiated by pro-Palestinians around the globe against Israel’s barbarism in Gaza.

The confirmed losses were highlighted in a recent report by Israeli financial media.

The Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) campaign, a grassroots initiative, has targeted McDonald’s due to its support for Israel’s campaign of genocide in the Gaza Strip.

The current boycott campaign against Israeli goods began in October 2023 after McDonald’s in the occupied Palestinian territories announced it had donated thousands of free meals to Israeli soldiers.

    The current boycott campaign against Israeli goods began in October 2023 after McDonald’s in the occupied Palestinian territories announced it had donated thousands of free meals to Israeli soldiers.

    That was done by the franchisee in Israel. McDonald’s responded by buying out the franchise and now directly operates all their restaurants in Israel (and is no longer giving out free food to the IOF).

    I wonder how much of that lost revenue was from having to buy out 200+ stores.

    Of course the fact that stores are still running means McDonald’s is still profiting off of the genocidal settler-colonial state. And now that profit is more direct.
