Reminder that Wix is an Israeli company and should be boycotted (some of my Israeli friends have worked for Wix over the years but it is what it is 🤷🏻♀️)
There are plenty of other options to build websites that aren't Israeli: WordPress, SquareSpace, etc.

Because tech is the backbone of the Israeli economy. Tech companies, like the rest of Israeli society, benefit from occupation and apartheid (cheap land, cheap labor, quasi-free natural resources, security contracts with Israel's security establishment, engineers trained in the army, etc).

I believe that it is our duty, if we want to be in solidarity with Palestinians, to respect this wish.
