boycott Israel and the USA???

US brutal termination of the indigenous Red Indian nations of North America, the Israel’s treatment of the weak Palestinians is one of the most brutal forms of suppression and oppression seen in modern history. Many innocent people have died and yet nothing is done to stop or at least lessen the aggression.

Regarding o this issue:

Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradhawi, a prominent Muslim clergy declared the fatwa that “all Muslims are obliged to boycott Israel and the United States of America for each dirham that reaches them turn to a bullet used in shooting Muslims in Palestine”. Not only that, boycotting Israeli and American products is the least thing a Muslim can do to stop the bloodshed of other Muslim brothers and sisters throughout the world.

In Malaysia, the boycott campaign received various reactions. The former Prime Minister, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad is an advocate of the boycott campaign. As mentioned earlier, the US has been giving a lot of contribution to the Israeli especially in terms of financial and if people continue to boycott the American and Israeli products, it would give, at least, some impact on them. To strengthen this, Mohamad (2009) stated that
“If ten percent of the people in the world who drink Coca-Cola stop drinking it there would be some impact. If Malaysians drink, say 50 percent less Coca-Cola (because their lives depend on it) there would be some impact also.”
So how about u??
