The boycott has become a new form of resistance as citizens
now firmly believe it is an effective support for the resistance.
Activists pointed out that Western companies being boycotted
have resorted to implementing attractive offers. However, citizens reject these
temptations, adhering to the principle of boycott.
They emphasized that these campaigns have also
supported national products as alternatives to those of companies supporting the
occupation, contributing to improving the image of local industries.
Zaid Hamad, a member of the the
Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign, confirmed that citizens have reached the stage of
discontinuing products from Zionist supporting companies. They are now seeking
Arab alternatives.
He emphasized that the responsibility now lies on national
companies to continuously develop their products to maintain customer loyalty.
Hamad urged the Jordanian government to support national
companies by reducing tax burdens and providing facilities to compete with
foreign products. He called on political parties, unions and civil society to
intensify campaigns and support the boycott.
Shurooq Toumar, another activist in the
BDS movement, stated
that boycott campaigns have evolved recently due to the magnitude of events.
The civilian response multiplied due to media campaigns and the uncovering of
companies supporting the occupation.
The atrocities committed by the Israeli occupation have
widespread fueled anger. The expression of this anger came through adhering to
the decision to boycott, leading to success of the campaign.
Toumar pointed out that
continuous improvement of local products will lead to the discontinuation of foreign products, as well as
encourage investors to support existing local businesses.
Majd Al-Faraj, a member of the Ataharak movement, stated
that civilians now consider boycotting as a third weapon to support resistance.
He expressed hope for the continuation the boycott after the end of the war,
urging the government to support national companies.
