Indonesian Islamic leader urges continuous boycott against companies over Israel-Gaza war

Cholil Nafis, chairman of the Indonesian Council of Ulema, called on Indonesians to “never stop the boycott movement because the genocide has not stopped either”.

“We help Palestine according to our respective abilities. This is a matter of our common humanity, and we must not remain silent,” Cholil said in a statement on Monday.

In Indonesia, several Western brands, including KFC, McDonald’s and Starbucks, have been caught in the cross hairs of the boycott movement that has hit their revenues since the start of the Israel-Gaza war.
