Boycott Israel

[Rehmat]

People of good conscience have chosen to boycott Israeli products and companies supporting the Zionist entity. Their ethical purchasing decision however is frustrated by the lack of accurate information as to which companies to boycott.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT

LOL man
isreal, according to the link provided, owns half the damn world.
from a business mans perception: ''my god, these jews are damn intelligent''. - and to tell u the truth, i wouldnt argue with that at all.
so dont bash isreal just cus they own evrything - its cus they are damn intelligent and there aint nuthing wrong with working hard to achieve sumthing. i have full respect for them because of that.


with regards to their zionistic entity - why should we not let them follow their own path. for it is the path that they have chosen and that is the path they shall take.
as muslims we should respect their faith. it dont matter if is different.

[Al-Falah]

i agree with HAsh. to support thoes who are brutally harming the muslims is like trechery.

[Genius]

Hopefully none of you are using MSN messenger, AIM, or Yahoo messenger as this was invented by the Israeli's.

bravo :applaud:

yeah i understand that
but common you have to give them credit
there pretty darn good businessmen if they own half the world - maybe more

p.s. i do dislike what is happening in isreal/palestine and i h8 sharon - iv already made that clear in another thread - u can search for urselfs :P.

But, i dont automatically hate evry israelite - i dont judge an entire race on one person - that is to say: not evry israelite is killing/oppressing our muslim brothers - just a few and its those who spoil it for evry 1 sadly.

If we ,as muslims, are judgin' an entire race by one person then why do we, as muslims, complain when ppl judge our race by one person.

One small problem. If one would try to figure out which products are in any way Israeli, it would be as hard as figuring out which products in any way Arabic. Just as Arabic, or Japanese products are in every segment of Society, so are Israeli.

Not only would you have to stop using various instant messengers, soda pops, and a lot of other things, you'd have to stop going to the hosptials as well. Why? The largest Medical Laser company in the world is based in Israel. From the most basic application (lazik surgeries, so that people don't have to wear glasses) to much more advanced, these are in widespread use.

If you really want to "boycott" Israel, then the only thing that you can do that will have an effect is simply not to import products from Israel.

[yoshiyahu]

FYI, the reason I know that the world's largest Medical Laser company is Israeli, is because my father works for it.

No one likes Sharon. He is treacherous to both Jews and Arabs.

Really? That's what I thought. Thanks for giving us the Jewish perspective on that one, brother.

Then we should unite against someone who means evil for both of us.

[Uthman]

Sharon? :brother: Sharon who?

[Ansar Al-'Adl]

Religious Jews demontrating against Israel. They argue that "according to the Torah, Jews are not allowed to shed blood, harm, humiliate or dominate another people".

As muslims i is our moral duty to not only boycott these israeali products but speak out aganist them. Thank you rehmat.

I shall repost the following email:

OK. So I understand that you are ticked off at Israel, and in love with the Palestinians.That's fine with me, as long as you have truly weighed up all the facts.

So, you want to boycott Israel? I'll be sorry to miss you, but if you are doing it - do it properly. Let me help you.

Check all your medications. Make sure that you do not have tablets, drops, lotions, etc., made by Abic or Teva. It may mean that you will suffer from colds and flu this winter but, hey, that's a small price for you to pay in your campaign against Israel, isn't it?

While we are on the subject of your Israeli boycott, and the medical contributions to the world made by Israeli doctors and scientists, how about telling your pals to boycott the ollowing.....

An Israeli company has developed a simple blood test that distinguishes between mild and more severe cases of Multiple Sclerosis. So, if you know anyone suffering from MS, tell them to ignore the Israeli patent that may, more accurately, diagnose their symptoms.

An Israeli-made device helps restore the use of paralyzed hands. This device electrically stimulates the hand muscles, providing hope to millions of stroke sufferers and victims of spinal injuries.

If you wish to remove this hope of a better quality of life to these people, go ahead and boycott Israel.

Young children with breathing problems will soon be sleeping more soundly, thanks to a new Israeli device called the Child Hood.This innovation replaces the inhalation mask with an improved drug delivery system that provides relief for child and parent. Please tell anxious mothers that they shouldn't use this device because of your passionate cause.

These are just a few examples of how people have benefitted medically from the Israeli know-how you wish to block.

Boycotts often affect research. A new research center in Israel hopes to throw light on brain disorders such as depression and Alzheimer's disease. The Joseph Sangol Neuroscience Center in the Sheba Medical Center at Tel HaShomer Hospital aims to bring thousands of scientists and doctors to focus on brain research.

A researcher at Israel's Ben Gurion University has succeeded in creating human monoclonal antibodies which can neutralise the highly contageous smallpox virus without inducing the dangerous side effects of the exisiting vaccine.

Two Israelis received the 2004 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Doctors Ciechanover and Hershko's research and discovery of one of the human cells most important cyclical processes will lead the way to DNA repair, control of newly produced proteins, and immune defense systems.

The Movement Disorder Surgery program at Israel's Hadassah Medical Center has successfully eliminated the physical manifestations of Parkinson's disease in a select group of patients with a deep brain stimulation technique.

For women who undergo hysterectomies each year for the treatment of uterine fibroids, the development in Israel of the ExAblate 2000 System is a welcome breakthrough, offering a non-invasive alternative to surgery.

Israel is developing a nose drop that will provide a five year flu vaccine.

These are just a few of the projects that you can help stop with your Israeli boycott.

But let's not get too obsessed with medical research, there are other ways you can make a personal sacrifice with your anti-Israel boycott.

Most of Windows operating systems were developed by Microsoft-Israel.

So, set a personal example. Throw away your computer!

The Pentium NMX Chip technology was designed at Intel in Israel. Both the Pentium 4 microprocessor and the Centrium processor were entirely designed, developed, and produced in Israel.

Voice mail technology was developed in Israel.The technology for the AOL Instant Messenger ICQ was developed in 1996 in Israel by four young Israeli whiz kids.

Both Microsoft and Cisco built their only R.& D. facilities outside the US in Israel.

So, due to your complete boycott of anything Israeli, you now have poor health and no computer.

But your bad news does not end there. Get rid of your cellular phone !

Cell phone technology was also developed in Israel by Motorola, which has its biggest development center in Israel. Most of the latest technology in your mobile phone was developed by Israeli scientists.

Feeling unsettled? You should be. Part of your personal security rests with Israeli inventiveness, borne out of our urgent neccesity to protect and defend our lives from the terrorists you support.

A phone can remotely activate a bomb, or be used for tactical communications by terrorists, bank robbers, or hostage-takers. It is vital that offocial security and law enforcement authorities have access to cellualr jamming and detection solutions. Enter Israel's Netline Communications Technologies with their security expertise to help the fight against terror. A joint, non-profit, venture between Israel and Maryland will result in a 5 day Business Development and Planning Conference next March.

Selected Israeli companies will partner with Maryland firms to provide innovation to the US need for homeland security.

I also want you to know that Israel has the highest ratio of university degrees to the population in the world.

Israel produces more scientific papers per capita - 109 per 10,000 - than any other nation.

Israel has the highest number of start-up companies per rata. In absolute terms, the highest number, except the US.

Israel has ratio of patents filed. Israel has the highest concentration of hi-tech companies outside of Silicon Valley.

Israel is ranked 2 in the world for venture capital funds, behind the USA.

Israel has more museums per caita.

Israel has the second highest publication of new books per capita.

Relative to population, Israel is the largest immigrant absorbing nation on earth.

These immigrants come in search of democracy, religious freedom or expression, economic opportunity, and quality of life.

Believe it or not, Israel is the only country in the world which had a net gain in the number of trees last year.

So, you can vilify and demonize the State of Israel. You can continue your silly boycott, if you wish. But I wish you would consider the consequences, and the truth.

Think of the massive contribution that Israel is giving to the world, including the Palestinians - and to you - in science, medicine, communications, security.

Pro rata for population we are making a greater contribution than any other nation on earth.

We can't be all bad.....

Most likely those are the Nutrei Katra, who have openly aligned themselves with Murderers such as Arafat. The NK are hypocrits, to put it nicely.

[Ansar Al-'Adl]

Who are the Nutrei Katra? And who did Arafat murder?

[SpaceFalcon2001]

Who are the Nutrei Katra?

Extremeists of a religiously anti-zionist group, the Satmar Chassidim. It's ok to be anti-zionist (because zionism is more atheist than it is Jewish), but they take it to a disgusting level.

And who did Arafat murder?

Certainly no one who died from his mindless Jihads and Infitadas that served one purpose: To get him more money.

Abbas is a good leader who will actually make an effort to strive for peace! Unlike Arafat who simply cared for whatever kept him in power. Peace was on the table, 97% of the west bank was offered. Arafat turned it down because it didn't give him any special benefits.

[Ansar Al-'Adl]

So what do you guys feel would be a fair agreement?

The NK have NOTHING to do with Satmar. Satmar has pronounced a Cherem on them!

And agreement on what
