Reminder that Wix is an Israeli company and should be boycotted (some of my Israeli friends have worked for Wix over the years but it is what it is 🤷🏻‍♀️)

There are plenty of other options to build websites that aren't Israeli: WordPress, SquareSpace, etc.

Someone asked me why, specifically, we should boycott Wix:

Because tech is the backbone of the Israeli economy. Tech companies, like the rest of Israeli society, benefit from occupation and apartheid (cheap land, cheap labor, quasi-free natural resources, security contracts with Israel's security establishment, engineers trained in the army, etc).

Unless a company has taken an explicit stance against occupation, and described how it divests from or refuses to collaborate with apartheid, then it must be assumed to collaborate and benefit from the oppression of Palestinians, and must be boycotted.

Finally, the BDS movement, which is a Palestinian-led grassroots movement with overwhelming support in Palestinian society, is asking us to boycott the Israeli economy. I believe that it is our duty, if we want to be in solidarity with Palestinians, to respect this wish.
