My local Lidl has sodastream machines this week and I was wondering if its annoying/unnecessary to put a little post it note on it saying its an israel product or something

Edit: thanks for all the replies, I ended up messaging the customer service and I left a piece of paper with “boycott Israeli products” with my shitty handwriting on a sodastream box, I didn’t stick anything anywhere so hopefully this will avoid any “vandalism” accusations.

      I would say annoying people is the goal of protest. You make people unconfortable until something changes.

      I don’t think you should care

      Sometimes if protests are annoying, it drives away people who could have been swayed to your side.

      Especially when reactance is a strong and relatively common social phenomenon.

    Not to dissuade you, but a complaint to head office might yield better results.

    Best case with your plan: you put one post-it note on one sodastream, and you cost sodastream one sale.

    A polite complaint to Lidl’s head office, explaining that them selling this kind of product makes you uncomfortable shopping there, and briefly why, might make Lidl decide not to buy their products again. Which would cost them many more sales.

    Do it.

    Been putting boycott stickers on Israeli stickers.

    Once i made stickers that resemble a promotional campaign to win a trip to Israel, but the QR code led to betselem.

    Go for it, a lot of people might not know that about soda stream. If anyone gets annoyed that’s their problem because they’re probably pro-jizzrael and they can go fuck themselves.

    Vandalism may or may not get you in trouble, I’d do something that informs people first and foremost.
    Maybe make some sort of infographic flyer:

    Sodastream logo --$--> Israel flag --bombs--> Gaza rubble
                            \------bombs----> Lebanon rubble

    Maybe a before/after shot of what they blow up.

    People don’t have long attention spans. Get the point across that buying sodastream finances bombs against schools, hospitals.
    After that, people who can’t see a problem with that are not gonna get convinced either way.
