🚨 Reasons for Boycotting Yıldız Holding (Ülker & Godiva)

1. Godiva Israel Posts and Kosher Production for the Occupation Market: Godiva's Israeli subsidiary (*Godiva Israel*), under the umbrella of Yıldız Holding, made scandalous support posts during the ongoing child massacres and genocide in Gaza, using phrases like "feel better with a glass of wine and quality chocolate" to boost the morale of consumers in the occupation regime. Supply chain investigations officially confirmed that these chocolates, which were consumed with pleasure in the occupation regime, were produced with Kosher certification in the holding's Ülker Bisküvi facilities in Silivri and exported directly to Israel, ensuring uninterrupted logistics to the occupation market.
2. Strategic Shelf Partnership Between Şok Marketler and Starbucks: Şok Marketler, Yıldız Holding's main retail power, has established an official commercial partnership with Starbucks, which is the public's biggest boycott target worldwide and in Turkey. By opening special sections for the Starbucks brand in its stores and mass-marketing "Starbucks At Home" products on its shelves, the holding has completely ignored public outrage and consumer reactions, directly facilitating a boycotted global giant to profit in the Turkish market.
3. Corporate Hypocrisy and Disregard for Consumer Sensitivities: While the holding management publicly claims that Ülker and other brands are "domestic capital" and professes to have sensitivity towards Palestine; behind the scenes, both Godiva's operational presence and shipments in Israel, and the billion-lira commercial integrations with boycotted brands through Şok Marketler, clearly reveal that the corporate priority is not humanitarian values but entirely a financial profit cycle.
