Kuwaiti citizens are refusing to support companies that back "Israel" according to Arab Barometer surveys

Kuwaitis are refusing to support companies that back "Israel" according to Arab Barometer surveys.

Ever since the Israeli attack on the Gaza Strip on October 7th, Kuwait's support for the suffering region has been remarkable. Kuwaitis of all backgrounds have expressed solidarity with Gaza through protests, relief efforts, and aid donations, including support from non-Gaza-focused humanitarian groups. This article will mainly focus on campaigns and boycotts against companies that support Israel, which were some of the most significant actions.

In October 2023, the boycott campaign started, encouraging people to avoid Kuwaiti companies like Starbucks and McDonald's, which have backed Israel in its conflict. One of the most significant campaigns was titled "Have You Killed a Palestinian Today?".

Since that time, the call to boycott has led to significant discussions in Kuwaiti society, with people on both sides. Advocates believe that the boycott is required due to humanitarian, religious, and Arab responsibilities towards Gaza.

However, critics see this demand as pandering to popular opinion, influenced by certain media figures and politicians to bolster what they perceive as extremist ideologies in Kuwait. They assert that it may harm the Kuwaiti economy, leading to an unfriendly atmosphere for investment. The focused companies are national businesses authorized by the appropriate agencies, solely carrying the name of their overseas partners. Therefore, refusing to support them would be like harming oneself, affecting the country's economy. Furthermore, certain critics have highlighted the lack of structure and coordination in the boycott declarations, leading to inadequate information for the Kuwaiti population regarding the specific entities to boycott.

This happened at the same time as the initial stage of the "Arab Barometer" survey, which was carried out in Kuwait for the third time in February and March 2024. The study involved Princeton University, Harvard University, Kuwait University's Center for Gulf and Arabian Peninsula Studies, and the Peace Center, surveying 1,210 Kuwaitis from households of both genders in all six provinces of Kuwait.

I was privileged to take part in this survey, the biggest of its kind, that seeks to gather the opinions of citizens in Arab countries on political, economic, and social matters. Before the fieldwork started, a few researchers proposed including questions about the Gaza war to understand the perspectives of Kuwaitis.

One question required respondents to pick from a list of methods for demonstrating solidarity with Gaza, with the option to choose multiple answers. The findings showed that a large 83.6% preferred boycotting companies that support Israel. Afterward came the statistics for "keeping up with war updates" at 64.8%, "contributing funds to support Gaza" at 62.6%, "showing unity via social media" at 44.1%, and "joining public solidarity gatherings" at 21.5%.

Due to a lack of financial data, the full extent of losses suffered by brands in Kuwait from the boycott campaign cannot be accurately measured. However, a Bloomberg report from January mentioned that the campaign, which targeted Starbucks, has increased sales for local coffee shops.

The results from before show the extent of the solidarity of the Kuwaiti people with Gaza in its time of crisis, and are also a result of voluntary decision-making. The freedom atmosphere in Kuwait has allowed its people to be free in their decisions.

Quality support projects are encouraged to facilitate the lives of these groups and provide moral support. Previous and future support projects for these groups are part of the continuous efforts to serve and support them.
