IS BOYCOTT WORKS AGAINST ISRAEL?

These brands have been under the BDS campaign and they have received severe impacts in their sales as well as the image they portray to their clients.
Downfall of McDonald:
McDonald’s sales reduced especially within Middle East, China, and India asking the fast food giant to support Israel campaign.Customers criticised the firm for extending support to Israel, a country viewed by many Muslims as an oppressor, after the firm’s Israel branch offered free meals to Israeli soldiers during the Gaza conflict.
Although Mr. McDonald sought to disassociate with franchises in the infected areas, its sales were again uplifting the growth rate that was far below what was anticipated.
Boycott Affect On Starbucks:
Starbucks also felt the pinch and experienced a drop on their sales particularly the ones located in the Middle East and the US due to what many perceived as the companies support to Israel.
The company experienced protests and a law suit when a union supported Palestinians as this attracted a defamation case as well as a negative image of the company.
Starbucks has felt the feeling and reduction in traffic and sales affecting the firm to adjust its lowered annual sales prediction.
Dropping sales of Coca-Cola:
Coca-Cola had to endure the boycott again since it was associated with Israel and was an American product.
Nonetheless, associating the brand with current social media boycotts, while it has not had any recent opting-in stimulants, is partly due to previous cooperation with Israeli businesses.
The sales further declined in Turkey where the parliament decided to ban Coca-Cola products in official places and Egypt where the local soft drink brands had a bolder market due to boycotts.
Impact On Domino's:
It was noted that Domino’s have had some problems in sales in Asia, for instance in Malaysia, which was likely due to ‘identification of Domino’s with America and Israel’.
Marketing campaigns associating chocolate with images that implied free distribution of food to slantless soldiers in Israel were a way of creating a bad image of the brand.
Malaysia’s support towards the action of Israel also put more pressure on this boycott, thus bringing about sales and reputation problems to Domino’s at the region.
The war in Middle East has caused consumer activism through boycotting companies associated with Israel and its lobbying fronts in America through shrinking their market base and reducing their market share.
