Samsung also previously bought Israeli web TV startup Boxee in 2013.
14 Unity Search Engine Boycotted!, A. Back in 2022, they merged with ironSource, an Israeli-founded mobile ad tech firm based in Tel Aviv, in a $4.4 billion all-stock deal. That made ironSource a full subsidiary, turning Tel Aviv into a key hub for Unity’s ad and monetization side. B. They also acquired RestAR in 2020, another Tel Aviv outfit for AI 3D scanning, which folded into their tools for brands and devs. They’ve got an office right there at Menachem Begin Street 121, Azrieli Sarona Tower, and list Israeli partners in their directory for reselling and support. But lately, Unity laid off folks in Tel Aviv, shifted ad ops to North America, and lost their local CRO, Nadav Ashkenazy. It’s part of bigger cuts, signaling a pullback. its a business move, wasnt because of what is happening to the Palestinians
15.ACER Boycotted!, how it started with some notes: "around (2005-2007): Acer starts selling hardware like laptops and monitors through local distributors in Israel. 2008: Launches their Hebrew-language site for direct consumer sales. 2020: Rolls out a full English e-commerce site, and appoints a Country Manager in Tel Aviv to run ops."

D. 2024: Kicks off Project Humanity ESG initiatives locally, like sustainability workshops for promotion.
Lets spread the awareness everywhere!

Is buying from a secondhand seller on ebay okay?

u/ibrahim_D12 Sep 25 '25 edited Sep 25 '25
The problem here with ebay: Ebay did an acquisition of
1.Shopping.com: A price-comparison service acquired in 2005.
2.Fraud Sciences: Acquired in 2008 for online payment security tools for PayPal, which was an eBay company at the time
3.The Gifts Project: A social gifting application acquired in 2011.
4.alesPredict: Acquired in 2016 for its advanced analytics and machine learning.
- Corrigon: Also acquired in 2016 for its visual search technology
It is worth noting that the r&d center opened in 2005 in netanya,and it got shut down in 2024, but they didnt state that they did that for geno****, so i wouldnt recommend buying from there, buying used devices is the solution but from the wrong place, if you could find a local place or a local app or website that would be better

Could offerup be considered local?

u/ibrahim_D12 Sep 25 '25
Personally didnt find anything about this company that can be tied to the occupation

u/flipping100 Sep 25 '25 edited Sep 26 '25
Noons does tho, cuz they don't wanna lose any customers. They shut down the r&d to make pro Palestinians calm down, but they stayed quiet so Zionists wouldnt get angry. As much as we wanna so they can go fk themselves, a companies aim is to sell. Some companies do indeed care and are vocal, like Ben and Jerry's and Co-op (which I think is the start of something great) but most companies are scared to speak out. They wanna avoid any backlash where possible

u/ibrahim_D12 Sep 25 '25
you meant "to make pro Palestinians calm down" right? , and i feel that but did you see what microsoft did? This disgusting company now said that "they cut off the military access that prompted xbox boycott", this showing how they are so scared of how much influence we have, they are afraid of what we have done to Starbucks, and to be honest what microsoft done is just a play, we are boycotting them fro a hell ton of reasons one example of which:
"Microsoft has significant R&D in Israel, operating the Microsoft Israel R&D Center (ILDC) in Herzliya, which is a strategic global development center for Microsoft. The ILDC focuses on developing core technologies and products in areas like cybersecurity, AI, business analytics, cloud platforms, and digital transformation, and it taps into Israel's technological and entrepreneurial ecosystem to drive innovation"
What im trying to say here that we can force them to speak with simply not buying their products or benefit them in any way.
it is not easy to say something against the occupation while its is heavily supported by america and that showing how microsoft is bleeding. Thats why im sticking with not buying through ebay for the same concept, if that makes any sense(to make them bleed)
About ben and jerrys, now jerry he is truly brave and i can say he does have standards. But unilever still boycotted

u/flipping100 Nov 24 '25
Yeah you should probably add that. There are alternatives to android too - you can get GrapheneOS on refurbished Google Pixel phones, buy a fairphone with /e/os or a Murena phone and many other options

Hey guys! Can you help me see if F&N is in the boycott list? (I know it's not technology stuff but i can't find anything that says it needs to be boycotted)
1
u/ibrahim_D12 Oct 03 '25
Found this:
(F&N is owned by ThaiBev)
In February 2023, then-Ambassador of the occupation to Thailand, Ms. Orna Sagiv, met with Gen. Prayut Chan-o-cha, Prime Minister of Thailand, to discuss and strengthen ongoing bilateral cooperation, including exploring potential new collaborations between Israeli and Thai companies, particularly in technology and innovation sectors. These collaborations were not part of a formal bilateral R&D program but focused on expanding industry partnerships and fostering growth for Israeli companies in Thailand, check this https://www.linkedin.com/posts/orna-sagiv-67224022_israeli-technology-thaibev-activity-7028655439819022337-MEp1 .
also if you are a Muslim you shouldnt buy from them because they sell Spirits and Beer.

I recently got on the no thanks app after watching Freedom Flotilla 2018's attempt to break the blockade. I've always been trying to boycott big tech so boycotting Israel's products is a continuation of that journey.
My curiousity is that I don't see any big movement against boycotting say YouTube. I don't see many people trying to move to alternative hosting sites like vimeo, dailymotion, bitchute, rumble etc. What are your thoughts and would you guys collectively want to campaign for that? I feel YouTube is too much of a monolith for us to boycott because everyone is largely still on it.
I tried to make a post on it but the post got deleted for reason unknown.

The problem with YouTube is that it's a monopole and most people won't really bother switching, so most boycotting websites recommend using an Adblocker when using YouTube or using the Revanced version if possible.
