♥ prihatin kita sampai mana?
salam~i know that you are sick of hearing the same things again and again. YES, VERY SICK. And that is > PLEASE, PLEASE MAKE AN EFFORT TO HELP THE PALESTINIAN BY BOYCOTTING PRODUCTS THAT FINANCES THE ISRAEL ZIONIST.
Although the ceasefire had been announced by the Israel Zionis on 17th January 2009(from what I can remember), doesn’t mean that we have to stop boycotting companies that clearly had been financing the war in Palestine.
They will not stop until there right, and both you and me know about it. They may use the money that we voluntarily give (by buying their goods) one month, one year or maybe ten years from now until they successfully conquer the whole Palestine.
My brothers and sisters, are our jihad stop there, ONLY?
-mana istiqamahnya?
-mana semangat yang berkobar-kobar waktu tempoh-tempoh darurat Palestin diserang dulu?
-takkanlah 'berkicau' sebentar, kemudian apabila keadaan telah reda, kita kembali ke kehidupan kita seperti biasa. seakan-akan peristiwa hitam itu tak pernah terjadi)
I am reminding you, and i am reminding myself. Seriously, this has to STOP and we know that WE have the POWER to STOP IT. Bak kata Karam Singh Walia, jangan sudah terhantuk, baru terngadah. (hoh0)
QUESTIONS ABOUT BOYCOTT
1. What is the boycott?
The boycott of Israeli products and companies supporting the zionist entity is about ordinary people around the world using their right to choose what they buy in order to help bring about an end to oppression in Palestine. Its a peaceful means of putting international pressure on the racist state of Israel and follows in the footsteps of the successful boycott against South African racist apartheid.
2. Are we boycotting all Jews?
Certainly not! The boycott is not directed at any religious or ethnic group, but rather it is directed at those companies that are supporting the racist occupation of Palestine. A quick glance at the boycott list will testify to this. We do not discriminate between the supporters of Israel - if a Muslim company is caught collaborating with Israel we will boycott it just as vigorously as any other company.
3. Surely wherever we spend our money, even our taxes support Israel, so why pick on these companies?
Whilst it is true that the cancerous zionist entity has got its tentacles hooked into numerous markets and economies - sucking each one to nourish itself, but this is no excuse for us not to do anything. The companies on our list are chosen for being the major supporters of Israel - those that Israel itself has honored and bestowed awards upon in recognition of being its key supporters in the world. If we can successfully campaign against these then the support of the others will, inshallah, evaporate.
4. These companies operate in Muslim countries providing Muslims with Jobs - isn't boycotting them going to harm ourselves?
It is true that most of the companies on the list have operations in Muslim countries and employ Muslims who would loose their jobs if the companies collapsed or pulled out. But we have to look at this as a opportunity, not a loss.
Take the example of Coca-Cola in the Middle East, the boycott has hit them so hard that their sales are down 60%. This has created an opportunity for a Muslim alternative, ZamZam Cola of Iran, which is owned by the religious charity the Foundation of the Dispossessed, to take Coca-Colas share of the market. Zam Zam Cola is struggling to keep up with demand - it exceeded all expectations by selling four million cans in its first week. It is now planning to expand by build factories in the Gulf States, helping provide local employment. And for the first time even European countries like Denmark, are importing ZamZam Cola.
Similar success stories can be told of Sainsburys closer in Egypt in April 2001, which resulted in a blossoming of local stores which would not have otherwise survived in an unfair market monopolized by a foreign giant.
5. What else can I do to help?
a) Tell Others
It’s essential that others know about the boycott and specifically which companies to boycott.
b) Picket
More and more individuals are beginning to take direct action against companies that support Israel. On form of direct action is to picket the guilty companies.
Picketing is a form of public protest and aims to draw attention to the realities of Palestinian suffering by exposing those that help to sustain it. It embarrasses those shoppers that know they shouldn't be shopping there, informs those shoppers that are not aware of the moral objections as well as irritating supporters of Israel generally.
c) Don’t forget to>Encourage our family and friends also
It is not a simple and easy thing to boycott all these products. And when our iman drops a bit, nafsu will say.
"waa,sedapnya f0od tu.ala, takpe. Just this time around. Next time, don’t buy it. But the heart and mind will say. Cannot! Takwa kepada Allah akan menghasilkan dua perkara, Al-Wala'(kesetiaan pada Islam) dan Al-Bara'(penolakan kepada apa-apa yang boleh mencemarkan agamanya).Human being need support to be istiqamah, so be the one who give the support. I beg you,to at least try.(kuatkan hati ya teman-teman! InsyaAllah, kalau pengorbanan kita ni kerana Allah, yakinlah bahawa satu hari nant pasti akan terbalas dengan yang lebih baik.ganbatte!)
"Hai orang-orang yang beriman, sukakah kamu aku tunjukkan satu perniagaan yang dapat menyelamatkanmu dari azab yang pedih? (iaitu) kamu beriman kepada Allah dan RasulNya dan berjihad di jalan Allah dengan harta dan jiwamu. Itulah yang lebih baik bagimu, jika kamu mengetahui."[As-Saff:10-11]
USAHA!USAHA!USAHA!
Look into my eyes
Tell me what ya see
U don't see a damn thing
Cuz u can't relate to me
U blinded by our differences
My life makes no sense to u
I'm the persecuted one
U the red, white and blue
Each day u wake in tranquility
No fears to cross your eyes
Each day I wake in gratitude
Thankin' God He let me rise
Ya worry 'bout your education
And the bills u have to pay
I worry 'bout my vulnerable life
And if I'll survive another day
Ya biggest fear is getting a ticket
As ya cruise your Cadillac
My fear is that the tank that's just left
Will turn around and come back
Yet do u know the truth of where ya money goes
Do u let the media deceive your mind
Is this a truth that nobody knows
Has our world gone all blind
Yet do u know the truth of where ya money goes
Do u let the media deceive your mind
Is this a truth that nobody knows
Some one tell me
Oh let's not cry tonight
I promise you one day it's through
Ohohoh my brothers
Ohohoh my sisters
Oh shine a light for every soul
That ain't with us no more
Ohohoh my brothers
Ohohoh my sisters
See I've known terror for quite some times
57 years so cruel
Terror breathes the air I breathe
It's the check point on my way to school
Terror is the robbery of my land
And the torture of my mother
The imprisonment of my innocent father
The bullet in my baby brother
The bulldozers and the tanks
The gasses and the guns
The bombs that fall outside my door
All due to your funds
You blame me for defending myself
Against the ways of my enemies
I'm terrorized in my own land
And I'm the terrorist
Yet do u know the truth of where ya money goes
Do u let the media deceive your mind
Is this a truth that nobody knows
Has our world gone all blind
Yet do u know the truth of where ya money goes
Do u let the media deceive your mind
Is this a truth that nobody knows
Some one tell me
Oh let's not cry tonight
I promise you one day it's through
Ohohoh my brothers
Ohohoh my sisters
Oh shine a light for every soul
That ain't with us no more
Ohohoh my brothers
Ohohoh my sisters
American do ya realize
That the taxes that u pay
Feed the forces that traumatize
My every living day
So if I won't be here tomorrow
It's written in my fate
May the future bring a brighter day
The end of our wait
Oh let's not cry tonight
I promise you one day it's through
Ohohoh my brothers
Ohohoh my sisters
Oh shine a light for every soul
That ain't with us no more
Ohohoh my brothers
Ohohoh my sisters
