| Topic | Where Are the Pro-Palestine Protesters Now? |

I'm sure people can debate how successful it's been but here's one quote from an article I found: The boycott movement gained extraordinary momentum in 2024, fueled by global outrage over Israels escalating violence against Palestinians. Public protests turned into sustained economic resistance, with consumers disengaging actively from corporations complicit in Israels apartheid policies. Starbucks is one example of a global brand that felt the economic pressure. Reports indicate that the coffee giant lost millions in revenue due to targeted boycott campaigns and protests in multiple cities. Activists pointed to the companys ties to pro-Israel lobbying groups, making it a symbol of consumer pushback against complicity. This financial hit illustrates the boycotts growing power, forcing even the largest corporations to reckon with their associations. Yet, the boycotts significance is not merely economic. It is Israels fear of this movement that tells the real story. Laws have been passed across the United States attempting to suppress boycotts against Israel, exposing the fragility of a state that relies on global complicity to maintain its occupation. https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20241230-palestine-and-the-power-of-the-boycott-movement/ --- "It's a simple question, Doctor: would you eat the Moon if it were made of ribs?" ...
