User:Malharami/Arab League boycott of Israel

My final edits and improvements for the final step of the wiki project which was the presentation, I opted to concentrate on a single article. Given the time constraint of a 5-minute presentation, my goal was to ensure a focused discussion. I aimed to provide context that would make the presentation informative for classmates who might not be fully acquainted with the ongoing genocide in Palestine. The edits I have included to enhance clarity, I identified certain points in the article that seemed redundant and less relevant to the central themes. Notable suggestions for removal included specific details about laws, such as Sudan's law until 2021, which could be condensed or eliminated to maintain focus on the broader narrative encompassing multiple countries and their ties to Israel. Additionally, the article contained numerous specific dates, like the establishment of diplomatic relations between Mauritania and Israel in 1999, which, I argued, were unnecessary and could be omitted for a more streamlined and reader-friendly experience. Lastly, I advocated for the removal of repetitive statements regarding the decline in the effectiveness of the boycott in present times, asserting that boycotting plays a crucial role in driving change.

To enhance the article's interest and relevance, I proposed the inclusion of specific brands that readers could consider boycotting. This addition, I argued, would provide valuable information for readers interested in understanding the issue and contributing to the cause. Additionally, I emphasized the significance of distinguishing between targeted and non-targeted boycotts. I introduced the BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) movement, which advocates for various strategies, including a consumer boycott of specific brands with proven ties to Israel. This encompasses products like Israeli produce, Puma, and Carrefour. The movement also aims to discourage government, institutional, and investment support for companies involved with Israel, particularly those in weapons and banking. Lastly, the BDS movement supports campaigns against brands openly supporting Israel's actions, such as fast-food giants like McDonald's and KFC.
