🚫 What Is BDS and Why It Matters

BDS stands for Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions and began as a public call by Palestinian civil society organizations in 2005 to pressure Israel through economic, cultural, and academic boycotts What Is BDS? | My Jewish Learning. The initiative sought coordinated nonviolent measures across several sectors, and later coordination among participating groups increased when the BDS National Committee was formed to act as a coalition platform in 2007 BDS Movement history | Jewish Virtual Library. Public descriptions of BDS list its three primary tactics as economic boycotts, academic and cultural boycotts, and calls for divestment from companies and institutions that activists deem complicit.
The Israeli government has responded to the BDS campaign:

Since the early 2010s the Knesset and several government agencies debated measures to counter boycotts; agencies such as a government coordination body have tracked BDS activity and promoted exports abroad.

Notable policy debates occurred around 2011-2016, when export promotion and legal options were discussed alongside outreach to diaspora communities (see 2016 reports).

 

Documented BDS activity consists of public campaign calls, coordinated advocacy by NGOs, and legal and policy responses in different countries.

Reports from international media and NGO trackers describe petitions, social media campaigns, and university divestment efforts as typical tactics since the late 2000s.
Reporting around the company specifically highlights social media mentions and consumer debate rather than an organized BDS campaign targeting the brand.
Check verified sources such as AP News or Reuters for formal listings before assuming a coordinated campaign is in effect.

How You Can Support Israel Today

In Israel, and in communities across Judea and Samaria, families run small businesses planting crops, making food products, designing jewelry, and crafting soaps and cosmetics.

Many makers are home-based or workshop-based artisans relying on tourist and export sales; surveys of small Israeli exporters show artisanal food and cosmetics are common small-business categories.
Many small producers sell online or through niche distributors and face challenges reaching larger international retailers.

Listing fees, translation, and compliance with EU/US labeling rules increase costs; exporters often use platforms such as specialty retailers or cultural gift subscriptions to reach buyers.
These enterprises often rely on steady, repeat customers and access to export channels to remain viable.

A steady customer base allows producers to buy packaging, pay seasonal workers during the olive harvest (typically October-November), and keep production year-round.
Economic pressure can come from limited access to distribution, higher export logistics, smaller marketing budgets, and narrow retail placements.

Export logistics costs rose notably after 2020 due to pandemic disruptions and shipping bottlenecks documented by port authorities, hurting small producers’ margins.

Outside purchases that respect pricing and shipping norms help producers cover production costs and maintain employment.

Consistent orders reduce reliance on spot markets and allow artisans to pay wages and buy materials; agricultural producers in the Galilee often need predictable contracts for olive harvest planning.
Your membership or regular purchases create predictable demand that helps these small businesses plan and grow.

Predictable revenue enables investment in certification, shipment tracking, and hiring seasonal workers, which supports family stability in towns like Safed and Tiberias.
