Earlier, @BdsMalaysia uploaded a poster urging people to boycott Caltex and to “stop fuelling genocide”.

The post had garnered about 28,000 views at the time of publishing with 569 reposts. However, several commenters pointed out that @BdsMalaysia was still using X, which is owned by Elon Musk, who appeared at the US Congress on Wednesday as a guest of Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Tan ck, who uses the handle @ahtai66, said: “Not boycotting Twitter??? Or boycotting as you like? Hypocrite la you …’

Another user, Tebuk Atap, with the handle @nusabansa, said: “… but (you) didn’t boycott X, didn’t boycott Facebook, ok…”

Meanwhile, TR_23, using @r_thanarajan, said: “Double standard … selective boycott…”

In the poster, @BdsMalaysia claimed that Caltex’s parent company, Chevron, “generated billions of dollars in revenue for apartheid Israel and its war chest, helping to fund the ongoing genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza, as well as its regime of settler-colonialism, apartheid and military operations” through its extraction activities.

It further claimed that Chevron fuels apartheid and environmental devastation.

BDS Malaysia has been associated with several boycott initiatives, including the boycotts on Puma and McDonald’s. However, its chairman, Nazari Ismail, denied originating the McDonald’s Malaysia’s boycott. On March 22, McDonald’s withdrew its legal suit against BDS Malaysia.

BDS Movement Malaysia is part of a larger group known as the BDS Movement.
