~~Their site seems to be down at the moment, and that page hasn’t been cached by the archive sites yet :/~~ Never mind, it’s back.

How much of this is about boycotting and how much is it about Israelis suffering financial straits in this multi-front genocide & war?

How does Israel's economy come into play here? This is about Middle Eastern people boycotting a bunch of American franchises and other stuff in (sometimes misguided) solidarity with Gaza.

Oh my mistake. I took the article’s title to mean that this is about US restaurants in Israel itself. The website was down when I wrote it, so I couldn’t read the article and didn’t know any better.
