WHY BOYCOTT DANISH PRODUCTS
I do not boycott Denmark as a people or a culture. I boycott the state and the companies that contribute to war and oppression.
Denmark is not neutral. Through weapons manufacturers like Terma, the country has supplied technology and components used in Israel’s attacks against the Palestinian people. Documentation can be found at gaza.nu and in the official boycott list by BDS.
When Danish companies profit from the occupation, we all share responsibility. Boycott is a peaceful yet powerful act — a way to refuse complicity and demand justice for Palestine.
This boycott list of Danish companies and products is based on information from World of Islam’s Denmark List.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BOYCOTT OF DENMARK
Where does the word “boycott” come from?
The term originates from Charles Boycott, an Irish land agent in the 1880s who was socially and economically isolated by local farmers during a protest. His name became a symbol of peaceful resistance.
What does “Boycott Denmark” mean?
It’s not a rejection of the Danish people or culture — it’s a call to hold the Danish state and companies accountable for contributing to oppression and war, particularly through trade and military technology linked to Israel.
Why boycott Danish products and companies?
Several Danish corporations, such as Terma, have supplied parts and technology used in Israel’s military operations against Palestinians. The boycott is a non-violent way to refuse complicity and to pressure institutions to stop supporting occupation and apartheid.
Documentation can be found at gaza.nu and in the official BDS boycott list.
Isn’t it contradictory to boycott Denmark while living here?
Not at all. The boycott is not about abandoning Denmark — it’s about demanding that the country live up to the values it promotes: human rights, freedom, and justice. It’s an act of responsibility, not rejection.
How can I take part in the boycott?
Start by avoiding companies on the Danish boycott list. Share information, support Palestinian initiatives, and learn more through these related articles:

WHAT DOES “BOYCOTT DENMARK” MEAN IN PRACTICE?
This Boycott Denmark list is a tool for action. On gaza.nu you can see how Danish businesses and politics are intertwined with Israel’s attacks on Palestine.

I began as a designer. Now I use that same creative energy for resistance.
Because what is Danish design worth if it’s created in silence?
