So this has been the issue today for the past 60 years, for as long as Israelis and Palestinians are alive. So how much do we contribute in helping the war to end? This was exactly what my friend and I were debating about last night, passed mignight to be exact, and yes mate, I was late to work this morning. ha ha.
I am not against anyone who feels that boycotting Israel's product will help Israel ceases fire on Gaza. I am also not saying that not boycotting the product is bad, as hands down, i dont boycott any of their products. Trust me dude, if i do, i wouldn't even be able to write this blog, not that i have any readers anyway, but still, you got my point. Intel, the computer microprocessors, yes that one, also publicly support Israel. If you were to boycott in my opinion, boycott everything that are Israelis', then thats the way to do it. If for example, boycotters say they'll boycott McDonalds and Starbucks, but believe me when this war is no longer making the news (i am not saying END), every single boycotters will go back to their Big Mac and Java Chips. Then what is the point? You stop "sponsoring" them for one period, then you'll start buying products from them again after a while. I say if you really want to properly boycott the products, do it all the way. Be a hard core, boycott everything, every fucking time. Hell yeah, thats effing hard core!
We are talking humanity. We are talking civilians being killed for being there at the "wrong place" (nothing's wrong with relaxing at home) and at the "wrong time" (what is wrong with family time over dinner?) . We are talking babies losing their parents, wives losing their husbands, people losing their loved ones, in BOTH lands, Israel and Palestine, and all we argue about is whether to boycott or not? I am not against boycotters nor am i with them non-boycotters, but I find people get extremely sensitive and not thinking straight. I know I am, so forgive me if some of my points in this particular blog are bang out of order! Believe me that is not the purpose of this writing.
Whatever we do at present, i am pretty sure every single one of us is praying and hoping hard for the war to end. Whether you're black, white, orange, Christians, Muslims, Jews etc, we all want this to end, because this is human being we're talking about, HUMANITY. The bloodbath has gotta end. Innocent men, women and children were killed for the never-ending war over a piece of land that obviously belongs to Palestine (ok, maybe a BIG piece of land), but remember, there are as much innocent Israelis being sacrificed for the "purpose" too, and its not even a purpose if i'm being honest! Being a Muslim, i know one thing for sure, only Allah swt can brings an end to this war, not us, not them Jews, not the Arabs, and not even the Americans. Also as a Muslim, we pray hard for our Muslim brothers and sisters who are at war. We pray for their safety, we pray for the war to end, altogether to stop the pain they're suffering for years. Remember, Allah swt is listening, He is watching and observing how us humans react to such catastrophe send to us by Him.
If you think boycotting helps, by all means, do so. Donates, send them prayers, helps whichever way we can, its not how you want to help them, but its why you want to help them. If you're honest enough to see them make it through another day, just believe that Allah swt listens, and He knows best, only He knows best. Whichever way we choose to do it, InsyaAllah, we will help them Palestinians, and let Allah swt do the rest. After all, the world is only borrowed to us, to share among us humans, no exceptions to those lands in Palestine or Israel.
