The Palestinian ambassador to Ireland has boycotted products believed to be linked to Israel and has urged others to examine their conscience and consider similar actions. Following UN-backed experts' declaration of a famine in and around Gaza, she has cut all relations with companies she believes support the war against Palestinians. She frames consumer choices as a personal moral decision and has specifically avoided Starbucks and McDonald's as part of that boycott. The boycott is presented as an individual act intended to withdraw support from entities perceived to be complicit in or benefiting from the conflict.
