Burger King gave away free meals to soldiers in Israel and posted photos of the event. However, rather than being praised for the good deed, the home of the Whopper brand was bashed online.
Burger King showed pictures of its food donations to Israel amid its ongoing war with Hamas, and immediately, people started a protest and called on people to boycott the fast-food chain. It was reported that the company revealed the photos this month, but it was only criticized for handing out food.
Growing Boycott Calls
According to Newsweek, the post on the restaurant's Instagram page came out shortly after Hamas launched a militant attack on Israel earlier this month, described as the deadliest in history.
In response to the attacks, Israel battered Gaza with continuous airstrikes, which left the region in massive ruins. It is also expected to start a ground offensive in the territory soon, and the heavy attacks are what is making people detest Israel. Burger King started giving free meals to Israeli soldiers as heavy attacks against Hamas continued, and people were displeased by the gesture.
"We went out to strengthen the nation Israel," Burger King wrote in its post with the photos. "Our teams are working diligently to continue donating thousands of meals to our heroes. Burger King sends condolences to the families of the victims."
The post immediately received criticism, and boycott calls against Burger King grew. The restaurant did not comment on the backlash, and it was not mentioned if it still offers free meals to Israel.
McDonald's Experienced the Same Negative Response
Meanwhile, Econotimes reported that McDonald's sent help to Israel by providing soldiers with free meals. The restaurant is just another major firm that has shown support for the Middle Eastern country. Other brands extending the same generous gesture include Pizza Hut, Papa John's, and Domino's, but people say these names deserve to be boycotted.
People blasted McDonald's for sending thousands of free meals to Israel. Due to food donations, boycott calls against the company were posted online.
