    Protesting against Israel’s terror attacks while also boycotting Coca Cola and Nestlé?

    I’m thinking based

    Israel support or not, this is just a good move in general

    There are so so many reasons to drop Nestlé. That they had the ability to do so but waited until now says more about them than anything else.

    Doing two correct things (dropping coke and nestle, and condemning Israel) for weird unrelated reasons is a good thing I guess.

    Croatia has also effectively dropped Coke (at least for the moment) but for an entirely different reason
