Boycott Has Not Ended

Recently there was a call to boycott American products whose company were giving aid to Israel and they are buying weapons to murder the Palestinians. Persatuan Pengguna Muslim Malaysia has identified three product in their campaign that is Coca Cola, McDonalds and Colgate. We can live without those three products though. There are alternatives which we can choose from. We boycott when we can but some people has been sinistic in saying that; then we must also boycott blogger, microsoft, Internet Explorer, computers etc., etc., etc., Don't they have brains? We boycott when there is an alternative. Just as simple as that.

Being a Muslim Bloggers Alliance member, I have been receiving information from the Alliance and the latest being a blog from another member who is a convert. Her blog Pendant of Joy is about her life and about Islam. Scrolling down I found a posting about the boycott. We might not remember the hundreds of products that has links to Israel

Boycotting American products is not an Islamic agenda but human agenda. Some might argue that why join the Muslims and just let them fight their own battle. Everybody and not only Muslims must know that Palestine is not the land of only Muslims. Before the formation of the illegal nation Israel, Palestine was land for other religion too...."the state of Israel only existed in 1948 and the first country to acknowledge it was the USA. Palestine used to be a big country and then when Israel existed, the Israels forced the people of Palestine out of their homes. Not just the Muslims but also the Christians, Protestants, Catholics, Coptic Christians and so on."

What I read at Pendant of Joy is a clue of what product to choose to boycott. On all products there are bar codes and those with Bar Code beginning with numbers 729 are products of Israel. Its easy to remember the bar code instead names of products.

Why must boycott? As a sane human being are we approving murdering of innocent women, elderly and children. If we have some pity and sympathise with the fate of those people of Palestine, we must do our part to condemn the Israeli's terrorism. If you are a Muslim you must read Pendant of Joy because you are answerable to Allah after doomsday of what have you done to help save innocent people.
