Who owns which companies (conglomerates and businesses)
This is by no means an exhaustive list and things may have happened since I saved this list (companies were bought out, etc) but I hope it helps you weed out the companies that do not align with your values. I have placed a note beside the ones I am boycotting.
Honestly, it is pretty much the entire list, but there are some that are not bad. You only need one brand / product to switch to, right?
So who can you buy?
Here is a list I update with brands I am replacing my routine with. I update it when I can.

Why are you boycotting each one? It’s definitely important to spend your money with intentionality, but if we don’t understand the boycott reasoning, this isn’t fully informative for the audience.

Thank you for such a comprehensive list. And most importantly, thank you for supporting Palestine so openly.
