Boycott - Divestment - Sanctions

Highland - Palestine supports the Boycott - Divestment - Sanctions movement

The BDS movement is a grassroots Palestinian civil society movement that calls upon international civil society organizations and people of  conscience all over the world to impose broad boycotts/sanctions, and implement divestment initiatives against Israel similar to those applied to South  Africa in the apartheid era. It is a nonviolent attempt to exert pressure by ordinary citizens everywhere.


There are Israeli products in many everyday settings, from supermarkets, to DIY stores, to pharmaceuticals, and many more.


Highland Palestine recommends using the following resources to help identify products that might be part of the boycott call:

  • The BoyCat app (available for Android and Apple) is a free app with a barcode scanner: pick up an item in a shop and check right away whether you should buy it or not!
  • Ethical Consumer magazine has created a very good resource examining different forms of boycott, as well as detailing companies that you might wish to avoid.
  • Who Profits - a comprehensive listing of major companies with links to the Israeli occupation
  • The BDS movement page detailing major companies to avoid.
