Boikot

Dulu, aku tak lah berminat sangat nak memboikot. For me, I didn't find that my role was significant enough to give impact. Rasa macam sama je kalau boikot dengan tak boikot. Until when I was in Jakarta early last month, aku terbaca satu blog bercerita pasal iklan yang telah diluluskan oleh US untuk dipaparkan di subway station, bas etc.


How come US boleh luluskan this kind of advertisment even just for 4 weeks?? From that day on, aku bertekad untuk boikot produk US. I whatsapped JD, told him that no more Shell after this. Siap tekad no more Coach, DKNY & Levi's. Tak kisah lah aku sorang je yang boikot. It just that, I myself despise them & I have lost interest to purchase their products.

Apabila Palestin diserang rejim Zionis laknatullah, kempen memboikot barangan Israel & yang menyumbang kepada Israel kembali hangat. Ada yang bersungguh2, ada juga yang begitu pessimist menganggap ini isu bermusim. Ada juga yang rasa tak guna memboikot atas pelbagai alasan. Kalau dulu, I thought it might be difficult for us to understand since we were not that exposed to the outside world. But now where FB, blog & other social medias are powerful & has becoming part of our life, just hard to believe that there are still ignorant people out there especially among young generation.


Lucky for me, based on the list above it won't be hard for me to boycott. I'm not a coffee lover & I don't even find it cool to hang out at Starbucks & pretend like I enjoy the coffee. I used to be DKNY perfume & Loreal skin care user, but I didn't mind to switch to any other products & I did switch. The hardest one to boycott will be McD. Huhuu. But somehow, I didn't even know that they gave free breakfast last Monday.

On Wednesday morning, as usual menonton MHI ketika menyiapkan Honey. I like the idea of the show guest. One of the way to stop Israel is by giving pressure to US. Dia bagi contoh ketika Perang Ramadan pada tahun 1973 kot. Pengeluar2 minyak yang mostly as we know adalah negara2 Islam, menaikkan harga minyak yang dieksport ke US (since diorang tak eksport ke Israel). As we know, US penyokong kuat Israel (& depa tak kisah orang tau sebab tu lah iklan support Israel tu pun boleh diluluskan). Israel sendiri rasanya takkan seberani itu kalau takde geng yang kuat macam US. As for US plak, depa lah untung sebab boleh bekalkan senjata (just a theory but I believe it) & ekonomi tak tergugat pun sebab orang dok fokus on camna nak melumpuhkan ekonomi Israel dengan cara memboikot terutamanya McD. But it's time to stop questioning others. We should ask ourselves instead what are we going to do.

Masing2 ada cara tersendiri untuk membantu Palestin termasuklah dengan cara memboikot... sampai macam nak bergaduh plak sebab isu boikot ni. Apa pun let's not be judgemental when we see others at McD or Starbucks. For some of us, maybe dia tak boikot McD, tapi maybe banyak benda lain yang dia boikot begitu juga sebaliknya. Ada yang boleh boikot McD, tapi tak sanggup tak minum kopi Starbucks. Or maybe tak boikot langsung. As I said masing2 ada cara tersendiri.

Gencatan senjata dah dicapai. But still Palestine is not free. Keep praying for the safety of all our brothers & sisters k.
