This put up from Suho has left many followers disillusioned as McDonald’s is likely one of the high manufacturers named as a boycott goal by the BDS (Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions) motion. After Israel launched its lethal onslaught on civilian lives within the Gaza Strip, which the International Court of Justice acknowledged as crimes in opposition to humanity, McDonald’s began donating free meals to the Israeli military.

As the model’s picture grew extra entangled with the Israeli navy, the boycott in opposition to it intensified globally, and McDonald’s purchased all its Israeli eating places. That, nonetheless, didn’t change BDS’s stance on the boycott for the reason that transfer solely amplified the fast-food chain’s funding in Israel. The free meals continued to be supplied as properly.
We’re not falling for it. By immediately buying the 200+ Israeli branches, McDonald’s has change into extra, not much less, complicit in Israel’s genocide and underlying system of apartheid. McDonald’s’ transfer to achieve extra “control over its brand” gained’t reduce it.https://t.co/rVKpiK34tC

Many felt that his actions reeked of hypocrisy and insincerity.
