Re: Boycott Israeli products and companies
Economic boycott is probably most effective. Most of these companies are not Israeli, but they donate huge sums of money to Israel. We should also petition to these companies, specially, if we are employed by one, to ask them to stop sending that money in light of what is happening in Gaza.

Like tons and tons of money..
Like would promote divorce so you can be in divorce industry ?
Or be in those magazine industry ? to become rich ?
That sort of money.
Re: Boycott Israeli products and companies
Israel has enormous financial resources at its disposal. It would be literally impossible to pressurize the country through boycotts. The way to subdue Israel crosses from Washington and London. Diplomatic pressure is the only thing that may weigh on Israel. And for that to happen, you will need the US and the UK on your side.

I see Intel in the list. We need to stop using PCs and get off the internet and forums like this one as well

Everyone allowed one exception to reward their commitment. So you can keep FB on 
Re: Boycott Israeli products and companies
Why not create a much better version of social networking website that can make users adopt it and leave FB just like wut happened to myspace etc.
The point is, the best way to bycott or make anyone go on their knees is to provide a competitive product. Users are more loyal to the quality rather than name itself. Actually it'll hurt them two ways as it'll strengthen your economy and damage theirs.
Ofcourse its easier said than done still doable and but nothing happens overnight

That's the most important thing you said.
But frankly speaking, we think that burning tyres, flags and petrol stations is a better way of protest :)

You are correct that the change has to come from US or UK and that is the reason we should get involved in the lobbying efforts and civic outreach in the west. But I don't agree that boycott wont help. Not buying these products will probably have a smaller effect, but petitioning these companies to cut down their aid to Israel will definitely have an affect. The $50B figure of US aid to Israel that is bandied around does not include the aid that these companies send to Israel and it is probably a few times that of governmental aid. It will certainly have an effect.

What this 'boycott' means is to stop providing 'new' revenue for these companies, not 'stop' what you already own :p
Re: Boycott Israeli products and companies
You have to hit them where it hurts. The extreme Zionists are actually not in Israel but the US.
Re: Boycott Israeli products and companies
We should do whatever we can in our individual capacities to record our protest, be it even shunning Facebook. But the question is, how do you cope with facebook-mania?
I am already boycotting facebook.
Re: Boycott Israeli products and companies
Boycotting these would actually make you live healthier.
Re: Boycott Israeli products and companies
It would be more effective if the muslims residing in america were to put all their efforts in raising awareness among the communities and commonfolk wherever they live. Not only on social media.
But Alas, most are worried about kissing their white masters'' arses and being labelled a terrorist.
Re: Boycott Israeli products and companies
such a relief, all junk comes from israel.
It seems like they added everything they could think of to this list. Nokia for example is Japanese company. Coke, Pepsi, Gillette, Intel, etc., are not Israeli companies. Coke is based out of my hometown of Atlanta. They are a global company & has present in every country in the world. So, this list is bs.
Re: Boycott Israeli products and companies
More than half of that junk is already boycotted by me for vanity purposes.
As with all those voices asking how a boycott can make a direct difference? Well you know what, sometimes it's okay to do things to for your own conscious. My boycott may not make any direct impact, but it's enough for me to know I'm not deliberately endorsing and contributing to any immoral practice (in this case, an industrial scale genocide of innocent people). It's enough to give me a little control and peace of mind because in my head, doing anything is better than doing nothing at all! Besides, never underestimate the importance of symbolic protests and targets and how helpful they are in raising awareness and kick starting a proper action.
I had a teacher who never shopped from Primark and similar retail stores because of how they treated their factory workers, and this was years before Primark boycott became a little mainstream after the Rana Plaza fire in Bangladesh this year. I do appreciate ethical consumerism, more power to those who follow it.

Nokia is owned by Microsoft. Bill Gates is a jew.

My sentiments totally. We have to do it for our conscious irrespective of its impact. The companies would not go bankrupt but if we unite particularly in the west, we can make a difference. Money and unity is the source of power of the Zionists. The hardcore Zionists are based here in the west.
Re: Boycott Israeli products and companies
Jews need to confront the extremist in their midst otherwise they will be tarnished with the same brush. Isn't that what they say about muslims?
