Subjected to Boycott

McDonald’s, known for its support of Israel’s massacres in Gaza, faced significant backlash on social media. Global boycott calls ensued, resulting in substantial losses for the company.

Chris Kempczinski, McDonald’s Chief Executive Officer, acknowledged the impact of the boycott against the company’s support for Israel, particularly noting the substantial losses incurred, especially in Islamic countries.
