For example, Hewlett-Packard (HP) has been accused of aiding Israel’s surveillance of dissidents and Palestinians through a biometric ID system.

The BDS movement aims to end international support for Israel’s oppression of Palestinians and to pressure Israel to comply with international law.

Recently, the BDS movement has been gaining traction in countries such as Pakistan, Turkey, and Egypt, where support for the Palestinian cause is strong among the citizens.

In response, consumers in countries like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, Egypt, the UAE, Malaysia, and Pakistan have begun to reject brands that are allegedly complicit in the oppression of Palestinians.

In Pakistan, there have been social media calls to boycott brands like Domino’s, Carrefour, McDonald’s, Coca Cola, and PepsiCo.
