#100 Your Money, Their Missiles: Boycotting Complicity in Gaza
from The Keto Vegan · host rachelghinn
Welcome back to The Keto Vegan, I’m Rachel, your host. Today marks our 100th show—and instead of our usual lighter fare, I’m turning the mic toward something deeply personal and urgent: the crisis in Gaza. I’ll guide you through how consumer choices—from hummus to makeup, tech to banking—can support or stop the suffering. Plus, we’ll unpack how our government plays into it and what steps you can take. Let’s use our voices and wallets for justice. Key Takeaways Consumer Power Is Real – Our spending choices and boycotts send a message. Even one action can spark change. Know Your Labels – Brands like Sabra, SodaStream, Coca‑Cola, McDonald’s and Dead Sea skincare may fund or benefit from the occupation. Tech & Finance Matter – Hewlett‑Packard, Barclays, AXA and others are implicated in enabling human rights violations through services or financing. UK’s Role – The UK supplies vital F‑35 parts to Israel, facing criticism from Amnesty International and HRW, who argue this risks complicity in war crimes. You Have a Voice – Write your MP, sign petitions, join peaceful protest and support organisations like Amnesty and HRW. Hold Hope Close – Despite the darkness, there’s UK humanitarian aid flowing. We can amplify it by visualising and acting for peace. Best Moments (verbatim) “I’m going to talk about food to avoid… Redefine Meat… founded in 2018 by Ness Ziona, which is in Israel…” “PepsiCo acquired SodaStream in 2018… previously manufactured in an illegal Israeli settlement. It also has a documented history of racial discrimination against Palestinian workers.” “Human rights organisations have strongly criticised this stance of the UK providing these F‑35 components… Amnesty International explicitly stated… this continued supply places the United Kingdom at risk of complicity in genocide.” “If you write a letter to your MP start with your full name and your address so they can see that you are one of their constituents…” “Focus on love, focus on compassion, focus on kindness, on harmony, on peace… visualising peace in Gaza.” #GazaBoycott #BDS #ConsumerActivism #UKArmTrade #HumanitarianAid #KetoVeganPodcast #EthicalLiving #PeaceInGaza #AmnestyInternational #HumanRightsWatch Valuable Resources Link to the information can be found here: https://theketovegan.life/%23100-boycotting-israel Watch here: https://www.youtube.com/@TheKetoVegan/podcasts Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/821471059206067 Email: [email protected]
