That's just a list of every US company. It'd be easier to tell me what I dont need to boycot

LOL right? Like it's all a monopoly anyways so that scroll through there was hilarious and depressing and pointless.

The answer seems to just get local and hope your land doesn't have freedom juice under it when it starts really running dry.

Dog I can't even safely buy local because i'm surrounded by racists. Place I'd been stopping for years for a quick breakfast decided firing the employee who called incoming customers "sand n***ers" expecting me to join his hate wasn't worth the effort. Fortunately we have a good chunk of minority owned places but no grocery stores unfortunately.

Many big corporations such as Nestle and Unilever are heavily invested in israel. Smaller and especially local brands are a great alternative.

If it's difficult to boycott certain products on the list you could ignore it and swap other brands you're not specifically attached to. Even a small reduction in income to companies supporting israel makes a huge difference.

Two categories I found most often connected to israel are junk-food and cosmetics/hygiene products.
