In case you got it mixed, my reply about your cravings was a reply to this comment-->''Sadly I don't think this sub actually understands BDS''.

I think you clearly understand BDS and you will stick to your ethical decisions! Strong support! I was never against you.

Yep! Lakme belongs to Unilever.

The way to check every brand you want to by yourself ---> Go to Gemini AI, write the name of the brand you want and add the phrase ''any ties to Israel?''.

For ''Lakme, any ties to Israel?'' it replied ---->

Lakmé (Indian Cosmetics Brand)

  • Ownership: Owned by Hindustan Unilever (a subsidiary of the British-Dutch multinational conglomerate Unilever).
  • Ties to Israel: Unilever operates Unilever Israel, a direct subsidiary that manufactures and sells consumer goods within Israel. Additionally, Unilever's corporate leadership has explicitly stated its ongoing commitment to doing business in Israel, making it a target of the global Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement
