Who are Wix?
Wix is an Israeli company founded in 2006 by Avishai Abrahami, Nadav Abrahami and Giora Kaplan. They run a Software as a Service (SaaS) system for people who want a website.
There are plenty of alternatives to Wix, and many web hosts will install blogging/website building software for you.
Abrahami is a former member of the Israeli Army "Unit 8200", inside which his job was to crack into and subvert computer systems.
The company (Wix) and its leadership have consistently supported and backed up the Israeli state's onslaught upon Palestinian people and society, whilst benefiting from the privileges of an Apartheid state.

In 2006 Palestinian civil society came together to form the "Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions" (BDS) movement. They called for "Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions against Israel until it complies with international law and universal principles of human rights."
This is a Palestinian led movement. Read their declaration here.
