Among respondents who actively supported the boycott of pro-Israel products, the majority did so to support Palestine (64.7%).
Others cited protesting Israeli actions (61.8%) and concern over the Israel-Palestine conflict (58%) as their motives.
The Kurious-KIC survey involved 2,118 respondents who claimed to actively support the boycott of pro-Israel products. 58.9% of respondents were women and 41.1% were men.
The majority of respondents were from the island of Java, excluding Jakarta (63.7%), followed by respondents from DKI Jakarta (15.1%), and Sumatra (13.9%).
