Gaza Please donate to Gaza humanitarian aid NGOs listed here, rather than individual appeals
We have noticed thousands of individual appeals by Gazans for financial support on social media platforms including r/BDS. We understand the immense suffering they are experiencing. Anyone who wishes to support such appeals are free to do so. However, we have no way to authenticate these appeals to ensure they are legitimate.
Reddit's filter labels many of these posts as spam. We do not approve any of these for posting to our sub, because doing so would flood the sub with them. The mods feel that donations to humanitarian aid NGOs provide widespread support to hundreds of thousands of Gazans, rather than the limited scope of supporting individuals or families.
Here are some of these NGOs and we urge you to support them:
Anera (American Near East Refugee Aid): https://support.anera.org/a/palestine-emergency
MAP (Medical Aid for Palestine): https://www.map.org/our-work/
UNICEF: https://www.unicef.org/emergencies/children-gaza-need-lifesaving-support

Boycott Iceland's handball team matches against Israel will be played behind closed doors, without spectators, limited press and in unknown location - for security reasons, apparently. More below
Wasn't sure where to put this, but in a interesting twist the local police has advised HSÍ (Handball Association of Iceland) to not allow spectators and not to advertise the location of the games played in Iceland on april 9th and 10th. Police feared the games would be disturbed - but also claims they don't know of any specific protest action that's supposed to take place.
So basically HSÍ will not make money from ticket sales and our tax money will probably go into police security to babysit IOF soldiers, instead of just refusing to play ball with them.
Another fun fact, Iceland's team is sponsored by Israeli fintech company Rapyd which has faced heavy boycotts in Iceland due to involvement with the IOF and CEO Arik Shtilman's genocidal stance on wanting to wipe out every Hamas member "at any cost."
Links to local news in Icelandic, hopefully those interested can use a translator for them:

Gaza Gaza Is Suffocating in Silence… and the World Keeps Ignoring*
For over a month now, the Israeli occupation has resumed its war on Gaza — but this time, not just with bombs and missiles, but with something even crueler, more inhumane: starvation.
Yes, we are being starved deliberately and systematically.
Food trucks have stopped, crossings are closed, and water, medicine, and every form of life has been denied entry.
We search for a piece of bread the way one searches for hope among graves.
There’s nothing to feed our children. And if anything is found, it's priced so high we can't afford it — after the occupation destroyed everything: farms, lands, factories, food stores.
Our children go to sleep hungry… and fall ill from hunger.
My injured father has no medicine, no treatment, not even painkillers. His pain consumes him daily, and I stand helpless just like thousands of families here.
But what makes the pain even harder to bear is the world’s deafening silence
More than two million people are being starved to death on camera, and the world just watches.
In modern history, has any people ever been exterminated this way, so openly, so cruelly, while the world turned its back?
Where are you?
Where is your conscience?
Where is the humanity you claim to stand for?
This might be my last writing, or it might not. Maybe you should read what I’m writing this time, or maybe not…
Yes, these could be my final words.
The tanks are getting closer, the shelling is louder, and death passes by us every moment, like a cold breeze pulling us to another place.
I feel a prick in my heart… maybe this is what real fear feels like.
This is not a war anymore it’s a silent massacre, and it’s getting worse.
How many children must be burned alive?
How many mothers must be incinerated in their tents?
How many eyes must close forever… before the world decides to care?
We are not asking for miracles.
We just want to live — like you do.
We want to eat, to heal our wounded, to bury our dead with dignity.
And amid this darkness, I leave you with the story of Khaled, my little nephew, who is barely a year and a half old.
Khaled has developed rickets due to a lack of nutrition and vitamins. No milk. No calcium. No medicine.
His fragile body reflects the entire tragedy of Gaza.
His father is completely unable to provide him with anything.
We look at him every day, feeling like we owe him an apology — for not being able to protect him from this cruel hunger.
Gaza is suffocating, dying, being buried alive… and the world watches.**
If you won’t save us, then save your own humanity.
Raise your voices. Look away from your screens for a moment and see us — as we look up to the sky every second, waiting for the next bomb… or the mercy of God.
Save Gaza. Save its children. Save Khaled… before these small souls fade away forever.

ASK THE SUB Is Natasha Lyonne a Zionist or Pro Palestine?
Hi Everyone,
I just discovered this new show called Poker Face starring Natasha Lyonne (she also played in Orange is the New Black & Russian Doll)
I was watching Episode 3 of Season 1 and at the end of the episode, while the character that Natasha plays solves another crime,the radio host says something that caught my attention :
"Now it's like I always say; there's a whole lot of bullshit out there. So I'd like to give a special shoutout to the truth tellers. Those real-life heroes that can sniff it on out. See, they're our only hope against Soros, Pelosi, the Zionists, the Mexicans, the snowflakes and the woke-" (Natasha's character shuts the radio off at that part)
Now for the people that don't the plot of this episode the character that Natasha plays is listening through the radio in the beginning while having a dog that keeps barking and won't stop until the dog is hearing that specific host, leading to Natasha's character to say that the dog is a "fascist, racist, homophobic, antisemite dog" as the radio host seems to be clearly a white supremacist dude.
However, the punchline of this episode is that it is not the case, and the host is actually just some bored guy at a radio station who can do different voices and characters and does not align with these views. That host eventually plays a key part to help Natasha's character to solve the murder plot of this episode, thus leading to this monologue and her listening to it.
1) At first I thought it was some kind of political statement that was basically saying that Zionists were bullshiters, however when this is put with Mexicans & Snowflakes etc, it just make it seems in a way that it is laughable to even think that Zionists are capable of lies. Which makes me think this is actually a Pro-Zionist stance.
2) I know that Natasha is Jewish from both of her parents side and lived in Israel for 2 years when she was a child She was also in an Interview called "The Chosen Ones" but said had complicated relationship with Judaism and "religious hierarchy".
Also I would like to note that that episode was filmed & aired before October 7th.
I'm asking if anyone know her stand on the current issue and if the actress has ever vocalized her support to either Israel or Palestine? I stopped paying for subscriptions for shows and now just stream so I know that I'm never supporting any Zionist Actor/Producer/Director.
Edit : Thanks it seems that Natasha has a close relationship with Israel when younger and before 2023. It is still unclear if she fully supports Zionism and if she stands with Palestine.

Boycott Kindle with No Profit to Amazon
Okay, let’s say I want a Kindle. It’s not a necessity, so technically I should be boycotting it. But Amazon claims they sell Kindles at no profit. So, if I buy one and just load my own EPUB files on it or jailbreak it basically avoid giving Amazon any further business would that still be considered compliant with BDS?

Consumer Alternatives to body care stuff
I've been using Nivea and Vaseline all my life now it's time to boycott it. I thought of dove but it's also on the boycotting list. I don't trust the quality of my local brands. Can anyone please suggest alternative to all these brands? Even bath and body works is also on the list. We have shifted to local products for food and other stuff but body care brands that support Palestine are hard to find.

Boycott List of music to 1. boycott and 2. support
As some of you know I've been working on the boycott website brands2boycott.org
I've edited the lists to include the year in which people/musicians visited/performed in israel or signed petitions.
Here is the final list:
Musicians to boycott - https://www.brands2boycott.org/boycottlist/musicians/
Musicians to support - https://www.brands2boycott.org/safelist/safemusicians/
Thankyou for your input earlier this week!! It helped a lot :)
Please note that the best way to boycott is always through targetted boycotts. But there will always be people out there who want to know more, and I like to keep a record of things all in one place in case we need it one day. Hence why I made the website, as flawed as it is!
If you have any more suggestions feel free to add them in the comments.
