There was a successful boycott organised last year. There may be lingering effects of that. It could be compounded by people being fed up with being forced to use apps or annoying kiosks just to get a better price on a meal. Greggs has been struggling too, financial precarity is probably a factor.
Did they do that to help Palestine or did they do it to avoid giving away free food? I know what I've come to expect from corporations and it's not generosity towards my fellow man. I notice that those places in Israel are all still contributing tax revenue to the Israeli government.
That's another issue entirely. I'm just pointing out there was a boycott that hurt McDonalds' global profits, if anything your argument that they continue to operate in Israel just gives further credence to the idea that McDonalds are suffering that hangover still.
I'm not sure how continuing to make money and support genocide financially lends credit to the idea that some boycott with the sole purpose being to stop that from happening is evidence that, that boycott worked but then I'm not emotionally invested in thinking boycotts work so you do you.
