Global companies like McDonald’s, Starbucks, and Disney are seeing a decline in their stock price as a result of a global boycott since it is believed that they support Israeli military operations in Gaza.
McDonald’s Israel sparked the controversy by giving the Israeli soldiers free meals and by introducing a burger wrapper with an “Israeli theme,” which heightened anti-Israel sentiment. As a result, McDonald’s restaurants around the Middle East have changed their positions and are now concentrating on helping Gazans in need of humanitarian relief. International watchdogs, however, have expressed worry over these firms’ inconsistent backing for opposing sides of the conflict.
Critics say, “Supporting Israel in military actions while also aiding Gaza in coping with the consequences of the conflict raises questions about their true intentions.” They cast doubt on the businesses’ dual support.
Disney and Starbucks are also being boycotted because of their alleged involvement in the dispute. The dire humanitarian situation in Gaza has spurred a larger global movement that demands corporate accountability and is a part of this boycott.
Major global businesses like Disney, McDonald’s, and Starbucks are experiencing a decline in their stock price as a result of a global boycott brought on by their support for the Israeli-Gaza conflict, raising questions about their business ethics.
