Burger King is a global fast-food franchise operating in over 100 countries. While the parent company isn’t directly accused of state-level complicity, its Israeli franchisees have openly supported the Israeli military, distributing over $125,000 worth of vouchers and free food to Israeli soldiers in 2023–2025. These actions have sparked grassroots boycott campaigns, especially in Muslim-majority countries. Burger King in Israel reportedly posted on social media to promote their support for IDF reservists during wartime, aligning the global brand with apartheid. Corporate headquarters has not publicly disavowed these activities.
Burger King is rated High Impact because its Israeli operations have provided material support to the Israeli military during an active genocide. This support, through meal vouchers and promotions, normalizes apartheid and embeds the global brand within occupation infrastructure. Despite headquarters’ lack of direct involvement, the franchise-level conduct has harmed the brand's reputation globally, triggered significant consumer actions, and prompted formal BDS endorsement of boycott campaigns. For those prioritizing Zionist ties and political complicity, Burger King has become an urgent boycott target.
