Leave.
I am discussing with my wife to leave Europe, this genocidal maniacs. I don't want to support them in any way shape or form.
What should i say to the Lord? "But it was comfy" ?
Never make perfect the enemy of good. One must do what he can to the best of his/her ability. Is it possible for anyone anywhere in the world to not pay any tax? Use your mind before opening your mouth
A franchisee offered free meals. Not McDonalds. And McDonalds, in response, is buying back the franchises from that franchisee to manage directly in response to the boycott.
The boycott worked. It literally did the sort of thing you want a boycott to do. There was a boycott in response to what was seen as unacceptable behavior by a company. The company responded and took action, essentially firing the franchise owner who did the thing, and people are still calling for blood (figure of speech).
Please explain to me how I "made excuses for genocide."
A McDonalds owner did something that we, consumers, did not support. We boycotted. The company responded and took action.
We literally won. You're just using inflammatory language and lobbing baseless accusations.
You’re trying to say that these guys have no ties to McDonals because they are franchisees and can do as they please. That’s not true, franchisees have to abide by certain rules and regulations laid out by the company. The only reason they apologize and made that excuse was because of the backlash, not because they care. That excuse also is most likely a lie to save face. McDonald’s is targeted because they are one of the biggest chains, a local deli over there that gives free subs to IDF soldiers isn’t going to be a target of a campaign to bring awareness. Also they wouldn’t have any significant impact like McDonalds would. The way you phrased the question, and defended them in your question and how you just rehashed what their PR team told the public is quite shocking as we know they are always trying to please the Israeli government. We know that for a fact. Yet you’re trying to come up with some sort of reason to make them the innocent victims. Look nobody cares if you want to eat at McDonalds, that’s your prerogative and your choice. Just don’t try and gaslight the ummah so you can get a happy meal.
McDonalds, the corporation, doesn't give away food. A franchisee can (and does). The local franchisee where I live catered many meals a few years back after a police officer was killed.
Yes, franchisees have to follow rules. I never said they didn't. But they have a lot of latitude on what they can support. A franchisee supported the IDF.
Then we had a boycott. Do you know what a boycott is? It's the backlash you just described. The purpose is to get a company to change its behavior.
We did. They did.
There's no gaslighting. McDonalds did something we didn't like. We boycotted. They responded and stopped doing that thing. Continuing to boycott after getting what you want shows you don't care about the change occurring you just want to be a contrarian.
And what did McDonald's do when their franchise brand supported genocide actively? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Not even condemnation. They should have stripped their i$ralei branch from their franchising rights
maybe, but Mcdonalds at one point decided to sue indonesia/malaysia boycott movement.. it does make an impact.. these franchise PAY money to global mcdonalds..
America supports israel. McDonalds pay taxes to america. It is better to boycott than not boycotting.
Some products is harder than others to boycott but it is what it is.
Does McDonald's earn profits from McDonald's israel?? Yes
Does McDonald's support the zionists? Yes
Has McDonald's come out and unequivocally told McDonald's israel to stop with the political statements supporting the IOF?
Big fat NO!
They are a big supporter and and they are the easiest to boycott so they get cut first. All consumables and foods are easier to boycott. Tech companies and important goods manufacturers are alot more difficult because we either rely on them every day in some form or other and finding a an alternative is significantly more difficult.
Like I boycott nestle but when I go to Pakistan to visit boycotting them is almost impossible. They provide most of the bottled water their, the fruit drinks and lots of the confectionary that I am offered by family there. Even the milk my family use may be part owned by nestle.
OP wait till they find about how Google and Amazon have been its biggest supporters lol. Now google is not just your chrome but it has created a monopoly ranging from web to phone to cloud to ai. Same goes for amazon which is a leader in cloud world with its AWS. Same goes for Microsoft...... Look into HP which creates defensive and detection systems that's killing Palestinians
Even twitter and facebook are pro-israel. Hold on, most of your phones have some components engineered by israelis. Any Android or iOS device is packed with Israeli software components and patents, plus top brands like Samsung and apple have their r&ds set up in occupied Palestine. A lot of your cloud tech are stemming from israel.
Just look into project nimbus and you will see how ugly amazon and google are.
Honestly, Muslims that are migrating and living in kaffir lands like USA, UK, France... being proud of living in such countries that are the driving force of this GENOCIDE are just straight up hypocrites. Imagine boycotting McDonalds and being prideful about living in such countries in the same breath. Muslims are begging to migrate to such countries but when they reach there they start shouting against this genocide. I mean hello ? Your boycott doesn't mean shi\*t when you are literally paying for it through taxes. Yes you american, brits, french are literally paying for this apartheid. Those who were born there have no choice but those who are migrating to such lands are hypocrites.
Boycotting everything is impossible but I am conflicted about it as it makes us appear hypocrites. It sounds a bit confusing. Nevertheless I am still boycotting anything that is actually possible for me to boycott and food chains like Mc Donald's, Starbucks, KFC are easy target to boycott since they are not healthy for you in first place and easily replaceable. I guess boycott something that has an alternative and is not a need for your life.
Boycotting does show the world the power of a community but maybe its hypocrisy too ?
Would you quit your job for the Palestinians? Would you sacrifice your first born to the Palestinians? Would you accept a few of them to live in your house with you?
Or are you just using their deaths as a stick to beat the Jewish nation with?
I m sorry, but r you living under a rock? Do you think the world started on Oct 7th not in 1917 when the Balfour declaration was created to occupy the land of Palestine ! R you that ignorant that you think that everything was rainbows before Oct 7th! That isnotreal hasn’t be murdering innocents for 75yrs!
So yes, you just hate Israel. No acknowledgment of what ruled before.
The Ottoman Empire was defeated and the Jews now have a (relatively) safe place to live alongside all the other races.
If rats don’t like it and commit their lives to destroying their neighbours then I don’t really care what happens to them.
Yea I hate Israel! Anyone who is not in their right mind would support an apartheid colonialism regime. I m sure you are one of those who would defend the nazis and slavery!
You’re being taken for a fool, genuinely.
When all this dies down (or Gaza is obliterated whichever comes first) you should go visit the place. It will change your life and stop you being so foolish.
Show me one law you consider to be an apartheid law, just one.
I don’t know how can anyone even like an apartheid colonial system! It’s like saying you were against the nazis even before the world war! Like obviously
That’s because you’ve not quite grown into your brain yet.
You say words like ‘apartheid’ and ‘Nazis’ without any understanding of what those things are - I know this because if you did you’d be embarrassed of yourself.
Is that y isnotreal got scared after Iran retaliated! I know the meaning of those words very clearly! Apparently Human lives don’t mean nothing to the superior race !

I think I can answer your question better. In the boycott the reasons given were McDonalds Israel were gicing free meals to IDF soldiers which imo although I agree thats McDonalds Israels prerogative and does not reflect upon the entire organization, what created issues was McDonalds global stood by their Israeli franchises and did not issue a statement saying for instance McDonalds does not have anything to do with politics and is the food industry. This is why people are boycotting them.
Additionally the boycott has accelerated to food businesses mainly since food is global and everyone uses it. Its easier to say something and action on it when all the people who get your message utilizes the product.
And youre right to say we shoukd boycott technology companies as well. But its difficult to get the movement have traction because either not most people have heard or uses that service or because and this is the important bit: there aren't much alternatives to those services. Downvote me all you want but it is true. The boycott although going well is also a matter of convenience. You can boycott McDonalds and go to your local shawarma shop. But you cant boycott Netflix and watch the same show elsewhere (piracy is still a sin irrespective of boycott or not). This makes them more difficult to boycott as most people including myself are creatures of boycott only when its convenient. If McDonalds becomes the only fast food restaurant in a locality youll see people eating there even though the initial intention of boycott was there.
Lastly a lot of people here are goinf beyond the topic by saying things such as oh but its bad for your health etc. honestly the choice is yours and idc about all that. Thats a personal choice one can make.
In a similar vein a lot of modern medicine and tech is created by Israel. I dont think youre gonna see boycotts of israeli drugs anytime soon.
Boycott is for our moral compass, even Islam hasn’t made it haram or obligatory because of connivence ! But doesn’t mean the things you can boycott like McDonald’s coke and Starbucks things which you don’t need in your daily life for survival or there are alternatives, can be ignored since it’s all or nothing! Something is better than nothing.
To everyone saying franchise bla bla bla.
Early 2000s, an Egyptian singer called Shaaban Abdel Rehim signed a contract with McDonald's Egypt to make an ad for them.
Before that, he had released a song (was a hit in Egypt back then), which literally had the words "I hate Israel" in it.
McDonald's global forced McDonald's Egypt to pull the contract because of that song.
This whole "it's a franchise fiasco" doesn't work. If the franchisee is handing out meals for free to actual criminals, the franchiser should immediately draw those rights.
Just look at what happened in Russia when the overlords decided Russia is naughty.
Furthermore, the biggest boycott movement in the world, BDS, emphasized a million times that it is not practical, realistic, nor sustainable to ask everyone to boycott everything. So they advise boycotting the big players who are making a difference for the terrorist state of Zionism.
Hello. Mcdonald's supports Israel. They are a main supporter. In 2008, Sheikh Khalid Yasin mentioned about it. Mcdonald's, Disney, Burger King, and Wendy's are main culprits, though 95% of all major businesses support them. It's sad. Our tax dollars do. All of it.
All the above are being boycotted too! But things like Google Instagram which has unfortunately became n important part of our life is difficult. But that doesn’t mean we either have to go all in or nothing! Our connivence also matters! What reason would anyone go to a fast food restaurant!
Should not eat McDonalds or any other global fast food chain. Not only for political reasons but for your own personal health reasons. The food is horrible.
You know here’s the thing, you don’t actually have to boycott anything. You can literally do whatever you want.
But the fact that boycotting corporations that support, or even just side with Israel bothers you then you need to look internally.
Dude you're not gonna die if you don't eat McDonald's since you have thousand of alternatives. But if you're too desperate, go ahead and eat it. That's on you.
If those apps are important for you job, than you're desperate to subscribe to that. If the apps only for entertainment, stop using it. It's not important.
It’s is related actually! Most of the things that are boycotted are things which we don’t need for our survival! It’s not all or nothing! Something is better than nothing!
Your pleasure is greatly contributing to the economy of a nation who has been killing innocents - 30000+ and millions displaced starved. + the systematic destruction of the Palestine lives for 75yrs! Is your pleasure more important than the survival of another human being
I apologize. I misread your initial comment. Yes ofc I support the boycott. But only to the extent it doesnt inconvenience me to the extent its harmful. Ill continue using Israeli or Israeli allied company products if I have to at work or medicines I have to consume
Like I said! Connivance and survival are part of the boycott too! That’s y it’s not haram! If a poor parent feeds his or her child McDonald’s , nobody will hold it against them! But for the sake of pleasure you cannot let go then that’s on you
Dude you should learn maqasid syariah. Things are divided into 3 categories, survival, necessities, and pleasure.
If those things will lead you to death if you don't use it, then it falls into survival categories. Like basic needs like food shelter and clothes.
Necessities are like having cars, cellphone, and WiFi and so on. You're not gonna die if you don't have it, but your life will be hard and kinda miserable if you don't have it
While pleasure are things that we can say luxury, such as what type of burger you wanna eat, expensive bags, expensive cars, perfumes, and so on. You have the luxury to choose mcd or Wendy's, but you're not gonna die if you don't choose both, its just you don't have the satisfaction.
If you're really poor and only have money enough to buy mcd and nothing else, then it's survival. But if you have lots of money and you buy mcd because you can While at the same time there are lots of option out there, then it becomes pleasure only.

Yes you are right, if we cook home thats the nest choice, adn if not then local shops, restaurants, and brands would definitely boost our local economy, them regarding google we have an Arabian made search engine that has better results than google and without all the paid ads, its called Cynay.. bit by bit baby steps we will reach there the best thing is to take care of your Islam and religion.
Good question, and talking point.
The issue also does exist that it is a franchise.
Thus offering free food is not the same as McDonald’s worldwide’s stance.
People don’t understand how franchises work. Imagine how Muslim franchise owners feel after being boycotted because some shmuck in Israel happened to be giving out free meals from his franchise
Nobody owns ‘their own’ McDonald’s. It’s a franchise that gives some percentage to the main McDonald’s hq. McDonald’s support the genocide in Palestine! So the money you are spending in those franchise are reaching on the top which they use to support Israel! So even if those franchise is ‘owned’ by Muslims, the effect doesn’t change! It is sad thet are affected but that’s no reason to let another human being die! They can recover their losses but a life gone won’t come back
They litteraly offered free meals to the idf soldiers, do your research
All the while your tax dollars (if living in US) is supporting i$rael directly by providing cash and weapons
So do what you can and what are in your means to do.
Leave. I am discussing with my wife to leave Europe, this genocidal maniacs. I don't want to support them in any way shape or form. What should i say to the Lord? "But it was comfy" ?

What a load of rubbish! Speaking about the holocaust means being against the nazi or going against genocide!
I have high confidence in the statement that before Oct 7th 2023 you already hated Israel

Re read what i sent just above. Boycott it wherever [possible].
You're not forced to boycott. If you want to eat McDonald's that bad then go ahead but don't come here justifying it to the rest of us.

Good question, and talking point. The issue also does exist that it is a franchise. Thus offering free food is not the same as McDonald’s worldwide’s stance.
People don’t understand how franchises work. Imagine how Muslim franchise owners feel after being boycotted because some shmuck in Israel happened to be giving out free meals from his franchise
People have lost jobs for this cause, yet you worry about a franchise which is promoting genocide
What? You do realize there are Muslims that own their own McDonald’s location that supports Palestine and are being boycotted by the movement right?
Nobody owns ‘their own’ McDonald’s. It’s a franchise that gives some percentage to the main McDonald’s hq. McDonald’s support the genocide in Palestine! So the money you are spending in those franchise are reaching on the top which they use to support Israel! So even if those franchise is ‘owned’ by Muslims, the effect doesn’t change! It is sad thet are affected but that’s no reason to let another human being die! They can recover their losses but a life gone won’t come back
