Topic: Boycotting iSrAEl's product? think again. - page 6. (Read 1620 times)

who created these two states?
countries in the Middle East are as old as Egypt. countries that were already there long before Christ was born. suddenly someone created two states.
it doesn't really matter now because they are now established. they do have governments in fact the first president of Israel has a Palestine passport.

boycotting though will only fuel the war. if they are up to make peace, they just put walls on each other and not grab each other's land.
there is no adult in the room anymore but just keep shooting.

ulama in my country advise us not to buy products from these brands because even though they are franchises they still pay royalties to the core company and that will be used to finance their hq in israel and that will provide taxes to israel. by not buying these products, we can put pressure on these brands to give their statement that they fully support palestine and put pressure on israel that what they are doing is wrong. and it also gives a signal to israel that the power of muslims globally is strong and they should not mess with it.

If I look at the boycott carried out by several communities around the world of products that reportedly support Israel, I am reminded of how the European Union boycotted products originating from Russia because of the war with Ukraine, in fact, the boycott was just an act that was too excessive, on the one hand, it was not at all effective in reducing the war between Palestine vs Israel, in fact, there will be more and more people in trouble because of the boycott of several products originating from America, in my city even KFC and McDonald's are giving 50% discounts on several types of food they provide, it is all to cover possible losses that they could receive.

Product boycotting is one of the most appropriate actions for citizens and countries that still really love Palestine and do not support genocide, but in this case each of us must also be wise in responding to product boycotts. Don't throw away products that have been purchased immediately, but continue to use them as usual and don't buy more when they run out so that we can replace them with others. Because there are also many good products that do not support the genocide that is taking place in Palestine, namely in Gaza.

Maybe this will also happen in various other countries where local business owners will take advantage of this momentum to compete amidst the incessant boycott of products whose companies support the war. Because not all of the products being boycotted are from Israel, but there are also from other countries such as America and its member states, so this also needs to be looked at carefully. So that no one misunderstands the boycott that is currently underway, because this will really have a big impact on the country's economic sector.

For some reason, you are now trying to change the cause-and-effect relationship and deliberately forget part of the story.
And I can easily prove this! 1947. This year, two states were actually created - Israel and Palestine. Israel began to develop and build its country on its historical lands. At the same time, I will say right away that the history of these lands is very complex, and it passed from one empire to another many times. Different peoples came and left there. Israel began to revive its statehood. And Palestine had the same chance and opportunity. BUT... then a conflict began, which led to the fact that... Jordan occupied the lands that began to be called the West Bank, and Egypt - what is now called Gaza. Have you forgotten about this? Regarding Jordan and Egypt - as I understand it, you have no complaints or questions? Was everything good there?
Then there were several more attempts to destroy Israel by a group of countries, and they were actively supported by... one of the creators of Israel - the USSR.
Israel defeated its enemies, after which an active anti-Israeli hysteria and all sorts of attempts to cause harm to Israel began, which continues to this day. No, these countries did not help the population of Palestine, did not help them build their own state, build cities and build an economy. They do not have a goal to CREATE, they have a goal - to try to destroy Israel. And they used and are still using the Palestinians as a living force for the release of these plans. It was October 7 that became another attempt, at the hands of Hamas militants, with the support of the governments of several countries, to attack Israel again. For which they are now receiving a legal response. True, once again exposing the residents of Gaza to attack.

And another question completely on topic: why don’t the heads of terrorist countries renounce Western prosperity, boycott the dollar, expensive cars, expensive watches, clothes, iPhones and others?
PS I don’t even ask why they incite the Palestinians and others to “go to Israel”, but they themselves don’t go to “fight for Palestine”, but sit out in comfortable conditions, warm, cosy, well-fed and satisfied

Here I do disagree if this is done. Because it will have an impact on the balance of the economy.
Especially in the lower middle class.
Don't you think that some of your neighbors and even relatives work at that company?

The attack on 7 October was true but do you know the concept that there will be no smoke if there is no fire? You must be aware that when the attack on 7 October was carried out it happened because for decades the Palestinians have always been deprived of their freedom and of course let alone humans who have brains even if it is an ant class animal will bite if it continues to be disturbed although maybe you will not believe this because the world turns a blind eye when Zionists take various actions against civilians in Palestine even though there have been many lives that will only escape the media because they think Palestinians are real terrorists.

In addition, maybe you should also include another fact that the majority of civilians and soldiers who died during the 7 October attack were mostly killed by Israeli tanks and weapons themselves and that has been confirmed by Israel directly (If you read the news) and still open your eyes about this.

I am still very surprised why the excuse of self-defence is always promoted for the massacre of civilians which is clearly a genocide that is plastered in front of us all.

And then there was morning and you woke up to reality, and reality looks like this







You know, I'm going to tell you a secret, for a boycott to work, you had to actually stop buying that stuff, so you had to be a client in the first place, a vegetarian boycotting Ribs24 ain't going to do much!


Of couse it will, because in reality the only ones boycotting are people who didn't buy those products in the first place!

Why more? In a lot of cases the products listed in the picture are a lot more expensive than their alternatives only because of their brand name.

Nobody is forgetting October 7, it will go down in history and from a military perspective this operation will be taught in military schools around the world in the coming decades.

What is interesting is that Zionists insist on spreading the propaganda that everything started on October 7, while ignoring the 7 decades that led to this date. The genocide that Israeli terrorists have committed all these years is not forgotten by anybody.

I will not publish photos and videos of Hamas sadism here, but these media materials are extremely easy to find! I would like to find and see this. At the same time, I ask you to pay attention to the same UN, which suddenly began to accuse Israel of unacceptable force in responding to terrorists, but at the same time surprisingly remained silent about the attack on Israel... Plus, the massive propaganda injections of Hamas clearly indicate that this is a purposeful information war.
At the same time, I would like to note that yes, it is stupid to deny that on the territory of Gaza, during the Israeli anti-terrorist operation, there are also civilian casualties. But let’s not forget about the FACTS, when Hamas militants simply forbade civilians to leave the streets and houses where a retaliatory strike from Israeli troops was expected. He forbade them at gunpoint, and using the civilian population as a human shield, and as a “mechanism” for generating a large number of civilian casualties, to then create media noise.
At the same time, he also does not forget that Hamas terrorists are hiding in residential buildings, hospitals, schools, making civilians their hostages...

And again, I will return to the subtle question - why there was such information noise in THIS situation, but everyone was silent when, for example, cities, districts, hospitals and schools were purposefully destroyed, for example in Syria, by Russian aviation. Moreover, they did not hide the fact that they were deliberately destroying these objects, without any military purpose. just terror and intimidation...

Even though those brands have their own choices where to take side, this war doesn't make any sense at all.

I mean, both sides has their own reasons why they are fighting for their land, who the true owner really is, but this could be resolve in a way where no innocent lives are being taken. We just love to show how superior we are in a certain country, no matter what kind of countermeasures it is, continues bombing, killing people until they surrender, and conquer their land to widen up the kingdom.

I wouldn't doubt if one day human will be extinct, and mother earth would be left destroyed by exchanging nuclear bombs just to show who's the boss, what a pathetic society we live in.

It's clear that there are innocent people dying during this war, from both sides, and both sides could cite the innocent killings as a reason for attack. I am sure that Hamas could show videos of Israeli soldiers killing even children, which is true, there are proven records of it, bombings of innocent filled places because there are some Hamas terrorist hiding there, killing many babies by Israeli airstrikes that's still true, I am not arguing against that. But Israel could easily show proof of Hamas attacking, murdering, raping, pillaging, and overall destroying whole towns as well, not like they are the good guys, why would any nation want to accept these people to their nation?

I mean I would not let anyone like that come to me, I rather Israelis to my nation, because unless you are a soldier who killed, then you should be fine, Palestine on the other hand is filled with terrorists who are not attacking with just murder in mind, they are literally acting out revenge, like you will find Israel bomb innocent people, but you won't find them raping anyone, there is a line you do not cross.

It's very funny to read about "boycotting Israeli goods" and "Israeli crimes", from people who selectively forgot about October 7, 2022.
And also those who have forgotten about the destruction of Palestine by Arab, brotherly countries like Egypt, Syria and Jordan....
And also for some reason they do not pay attention to the fact that all the leaders of Hamas and other terrorist groups do not give a damn about the Palestinians, they are just a resource for a "reality show" to cover up their crimes and shift the blame to Israel. Which they openly declare
Yes, at the same time all the leaders of terrorist groups, and those who manipulate the unfortunate, who then commit terrorist acts in Israel and other countries, will not wear shahid belts, will not fight "against the Zionists", and will live in comfortable conditions, enjoying wealth, services, expensive things.... And between meals, they will write another "anti-Zionist appeal" and send hundreds of Palestinians and residents of other countries that are members of terrorist groups to their deaths. At the same time, the "leaders" will enjoy life here and now, in the real world, and not rush off to a fairy-tale afterlife to imaginary gurus
 
And another question - why don't you call for a boycott of Chinese goods? And more than a million of your brothers in faith and ancestry have been subjected to cruel repressions, torture, humiliation, persecution for many decades ? Or is it none of your business ?  Or ?

  There may be an effect according to the illustration image that you have shown, but the question is do you think it will continue to fall to zero? I don't think so, it's only temporary, but I'm sure it will recover.

  Right now, we are experiencing something like that because at the moment it is still happening in the middle of the war and it is normal to have an effect, then the boycott depends on the size or small number of countries that support it.

I'm not an economist, but if the Boycott doesn't have any impact then why does an organization as big as the OIC, which consists of people who know more than us, voice their support? means there is a purpose and an impact produced. Like it or not, boycotts are a form of condemnation of how unjustified the killing of children, women and babies is. Doesn't war also have rules? If the murder of children, women and babies is carried out, it is clearly a war crime committed by Israel. When you are unable to provide assistance with energy, thoughts and wealth, then by boycotting anyone can do it. At least no matter how small the form of support we provide, it will be calculated.
Boycott is a peaceful and effective way without the need to shed blood. In my opinion, boycotting is everyone's right, whether you want to or not is up to you.
Is our boycott mandatory? certainly not
Did the Boycott bankrupt them? Of course not, but at least it makes them panic because of decreasing sales levels.
So what is the fate of the people who work at the company? return to local brands and help increase the country's economic income. I don't judge those who don't boycott because everyone's abilities are different. I agree that boycotts never solve problems, it's just that as someone who believes that partisanship will later be a witness that we will not remain silent when we see open murder happening before our eyes.

In conclusion, if you want to boycott, go ahead, if not, there is no need to convince those who are boycotting because they each have their own way of showing empathy as humans.

I also support Palestine. Israel's aggression must be stopped immediately because the victims are children and women. Now. Apart from the boycott, boycotting it was beyond my expectations because the impact was very small.

The biggest thing is that the UN tells Israel to immediately stop its aggression and asks Israel's main supporting countries to refrain from sending support facilities.

I know this problem is also very complex and not as easy as turning your hand.

Correct, I don't see anyone boycotting Apple lol.

It's not easy as you as said.

Not every people want to spend more money for a same thing, more importantly not every country can survive with their own resources, many country still depend on import as they can get cheaper price or they completely don't have that due to many reasons e.g. bad weather, limited resource, lack of human resource etc.

Shifting from big business which can sell cheap stuff to local business which charge higher will make people become poor, I'm sure the criminal rate will increase as not every citizen agree to work hard to rebuilt their economy back.

I'd say only both China and Russia can live without depends on import, while the rest they don't have any choice.

Any kind of transition is always hard but it is inevitable. The effects are in short term though. We've already seen such a transition in Russia when some businesses left (like McDonalds which was a $1.4 billion loss), the employees that lost their jobs in short term got absorbed into other jobs eventually and that ended up helping the domestic economy in the longer run (that is $1.4 billion that no longer exits the country to go into the pockets of a foreigner).

Definitely! I said it before that people will still spend - be it on a direct competitor or something else so the money will still flow. The only concern I have on this is that the local employees of these boycotted companies will also be affected negatively. If they cannot be absorbed by other companies then the local economy will probably take a hit too.

It's all about the profit that these "franchises" pour into the pockets of the terrorist organization, Israel.
By boycotting said products people around the world are decreasing the amount of profit these companies make and consequently they decrease the amount of money the terrorist organization makes.
Not to mention that a lot of these companies in the list and a lot of others like Walt Disney! have been funding the organization to help them commit more crimes against humanity. So they have to see at least some consequence for supporting terrorism and genocide, even if it is a small revenue loss (although it may not be that small).

Let me emphasize something @Faisal2202 said but went unnoticed. Boycotting a lot of these products will help local economy. Many of these products aren't anything special that can not or is not produced locally. For example McDonald's isn't selling something high tech or special! It is burgers and fries. Something anyone else can do too, and in a much better quality. The revenue that these foreign companies lose goes to all the local ones. For example when people stop buying the low quality McDonald's burgers, they start going to other fast food restaurants and help those small businesses.
