The advertising campaign received great interaction on social media platforms. Activists praised it and considered it an example of solidarity with Gaza.
Activists from the Arab world shared the video clip depicting billboards on a street in the State of Kuwait, and some accompanied them with comments calling for a boycott of the products of American and European companies that support Israel.
Some went on to use the advertising campaign slogan, "Did you kill a Palestinian today?" He attached pictures of some products, calling for their boycott.
Some activists also shared pictures displaying some brands and products of companies supporting Israel and attached them with the hashtag “Boycott enemy products.”
Campaigns calling for a boycott
Since the start of the aggression on Gaza, Arab activists and influencers have sought to call for non-financing of the war on Gaza by boycotting the products of companies that support Israel, including baskets from American fast food restaurants, especially McDonald's, which donated tens of thousands of free meals to the Israeli army.
McDonald's reported that it donates 4,000 meals a day to the Israeli army and citizens, and also offers a 50% discount to soldiers and security forces.
The hashtag “Boycott McDonald’s Campaign” and other companies topped the most popular list on the “X” platform in a number of Arab countries.
Videos have also spread that aim to raise awareness about well-known products that are consumed daily, but they were made in Israel or by Western companies that support them, including Coca-Cola, Lays, Danone, Burger King, the American coffee company Starbucks, and others.
The Palestinian National Committee for the Boycott of Israel had called on its website to strengthen campaigns to boycott Israel at all levels: economic, academic, cultural, artistic and sports.
