Which Singapore companies directly contribute to Israel? In order to contribute to BDS effectively, we need to research thoroughly on what companies actually trade with Israel and will affect their economy to the pressure to change their policies on Palestinians and the Occupied Territories. The McD and Starbucks boycott which I have previously posted and explained are ineffective, and only serves to be a symbolic gesture, that in no way affects Israel. It should also be noted that Singapore McD and Starbucks have in no way contributed to Israel. Based on Israels Central Bureau of Statistics, Singapore private companies export mainly commodities such as fish and vegetable produce and coffee, tea and so on. www1.cbs.gov.il/fortr12/?MIval=%2Fimpexp%2Fimpexp_bycountries_e.html&TypeOfActivity=0&SortBy=1&SortingType=1&SumOrDetail=2&TypeOfPresentation=2&MyContinent=2&FYY=2012&LYY=2013&MyYear=2013&MyCountry=350 Therefore, Singapore fruits and vegetable companies do export to Israel. Heres a page of congratulations by the Israeli Trade envoy in Singapore. singaporefva/message-embassy-israel.html Indicated on the website are companies that are part of an association that exports such fruits. Here are the list of companies Singaporeans should boycott instead. singaporefva/member-listings.html Do note that not all of them may export to Israel. The same group of companies also export to countries like Turkey, Philippines and Malaysia. So it is probably better to research further. Of course, applying pressure on the entire Singapore Fruit and Vegetable Importers and Exporters Association members may actually force them to not export to Israel.
