Some of his protests have targeted Israeli products and companies, including Starbucks and McDonald’s, asking people to boycott them. According to the Japanese activists, Japan’s public has remained aloof to the ongoing Genocide in Gaza, which has pushed them to speak more about Gaza.

Yusuke says that no country is speaking against the Gaza Genocide, and Israel is killing children and burning people in the name of self-defence.
The Japanese activist has received support from many and has also been harassed by the Israeli supporters.
Furusawa wants the Japanese government to take a stronger stand against Israel and question its G77 membership if it can not take the side of the people who are being killed in Palestine.
