Shop at Aldi or Lidl (German). Although Asda isn't owned by Walmart any more, so I think British supermarkets are all pretty British again, apart from Safeway but I haven't seen one of those in a long time.

Lidl and Kaufland should be avoided.

From the Hebrew Wikipedia article:

https://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D7%90%D7%A7%D7%A1_%D7%90%D7%9D_%D7%A1%D7%99%D7%99%D7%91%D7%A8

The company's product runs on Amazon's AWS cloud, and similar products are in development for Microsoft Azure and Google's GCP environment.[2]

Aside from running deeply integrated into US cloud providers, it is reasonable to assume for Israeli cybersecurity companies that they have links to Israeli and US intelligence. And the CEO Noam Erez is advertised as "he spent 25 years with the Israeli intelligence community" https://xmcyber.com/team/noam-erez/

So buying at Lidl helps Trump and Netanyahu.
