r/BoycottIsrael

Hi!! I need an Alternative for Neutrogena Hydro Boost, sadly, my dermatologist recommended this product for me and it worked for my skin type. While researching, I saw that it is on the Boycott list and now I don't know what to do.

Is there any alternative? I have an acne and sensitive prone skin

Recently read that the iPhone 17e has an Israel developed chip inside, I bought a 17e off backmarket like 3 weeks ago and I only
Just learned about this a couple days ago, so if you’re thinking of getting the 17e then don’t bother. I’m going back to my SE3

For example Java is developed and owned by oracle

Angular framework is powered by Google

when I use programming languages does the company gets benefits except probably "our language is used by X amount of apps"

and is the answer the same for frameworks or they are more impactful

can we say a general rule or does it depends on the language (ofc I'm talking only about free languages and frameworks)

I'm between 2 choices, either specializing in Js stack or Java stack... I couldn't choose yet based on the morcco market where I'll be working... However it hit me "should I put my boycotting conditions into that concern as well"

Honestly it’s been hard for me to avoid everthing on the boycott list and even bds but I feel like stock is really bad if I do that so I am trying to be careful I’m getting a able account and putting a tiny bit into stock for my disabilty and was just wondering if anyone knows any companies I should try to support hopefully they are on the the able account list idk how it works yet thank you so much

I've spent HOURS to find any single ethical search engine that doesn't either have AI or is affiliated to google/microsoft/etc and genuinely there doesn't seem to be one. They're all plagued by horrible bs: startpage, ecosia, duckduckgo, yandex, presearch (what were they thinking with the doppelganger feature?!) and the list goes on...

So at this point does it even matter which search engine I use? What if I just keep resorting to Google without an account and block all ads and AI with extensions? Would that stop counting as boycotting?

Just click on the software you would like to replace, and it'll list alternatives that you might try.

My iPhone is near the end of its lifespan, and I do not want to continue supporting Apple. I've looked through here a bit and saw people suggesting a Google Pixel with GrapheneOS on it. I am certainly looking into it, but I am not 100% educated and would like to know: why Google? Aren't they big tech providers for Israel? I am just not too knowledgeable and would like if someone explained it is all.

Many of the main companies that are popular to invest in are complicit in the genocide, as well as numerous other human rights violations. What is the best alternative? Are there specific investment funds or ways to invest that avoid these complicit companies?
