Boycott Waze, Wix, HP, Unilever (and their many subsidiaries), Cif, Coca-Cola, Colman's, Danone, Dell, Domino's, Elle, McDonald's, Monster Energy drinks, Nescafé/Nestlé, Paypal, Pret-a-Manger, Reebok, Starbuck's, Sun (the laundry detergent)
Waze and many of the companies you listed are not BDS targets, for good reason:
https://craft.co/waze/locations - it's headquartered in Tel Aviv. Boycott it.
"The modern economy is very global and interconnected" is a cliché - too vague and obvious to guide action. Boycott Israeli companies. Waze is an Israeli company.
Maybe some horrible massacre happened there once, but that's like the heart of 1948 Israel, not some illegal settlement in the West Bank.
Maybe, but it is an esteemed, Palestinian lead organization employing that cliché and providing good justification for it. I will be giving the guidance from BDS more weight than yours, @frightful_hobgoblin@lemmy.ml.

Yes, BDS Movement acknowledges that there are many extensive boycott lists out there:
If you feel like personally boycotting every company that has anything to do with Israel then go for it, but that's not a real plan.
So people reading this are aware: the boycott movement is not just about boycotting goods from the occupied territories: it's about the whole of Israel.
No it's not.
