And now, Family Mart.
Keep it up, guys. :)
Recently, the popular Japanese convenience store chain, FamilyMart, has joined the roster of boycotted entities. This decision comes after revelations that FamilyMart's parent company, Itochu, operates a liaison office in Israel, engaging in distribution and manufacturing agreements.

Additionally, protestors have highlighted FamilyMart's connection to Itochu Aviation, a subsidiary involved in arms dealing with Elbit Systems, Israel's largest weapons manufacturer.

These weapons, protestors argue, contribute to the harm and death of innocent civilians, including children. As awareness grows, individuals are opting to fully boycott FamilyMart and its affiliated entities.
