Ahmed Bashbash is a Palestinian software developer from Gaza who created the ‘No Thanks’ app – a barcode scanner that helps users identify and boycott companies that support the Israeli occupation.
In this powerful interview, Bashbash shares the personal tragedies that led him to act, including the loss of his brother and sister due to Israel’s apartheid and war on Gaza.
Despite threats, smears, job loss, and cyberattacks, Bashbash has kept the app online, growing it to over 11.5 million downloads worldwide.
He and his anonymous global team provide users not only with boycott information but also product alternatives and evidence of corporate complicity in apartheid.
This interview is a must-watch for anyone interested in tech for justice, digital resistance, and the human stories behind the Palestinian struggle.
