Now, many people globally are boycotting products that associated with israel. Many branded items such as hugo boss, ralph lauren, levis, or restaurant such as mcD and starbucks also come into that bracket. If you look in the Internet you will find many more brands that relates with israel. I myself was used to all of those brands. To name a few, my perfume was hugo boss, have few levis jeans, a levi’s leather jacket that worth RM1000, a lovely dkny dodger blue shirt and polo shoes. Even my boxers was a collection from tommy hilfiger. Looking back at it, it gave me a WOW! gesture. Practically, I had israel all over me. And all of it does not come cheap either. They are using my money to destroy Palestine. And then food…I was a mcD-monger. I loved starbucks coffee. Something, stuck me in the head. Why am I so attached to all of these israel associated products? Then I realized, yes, the quality. They produced kinda great stuff. This is because they are genius, creating good products and then commercialized it globally should be a piece of cake to them. Actually, this occasion(the thinking about all of this thing that related with israel) happened in last 2 year, somewhere around November 2007. I must confess that in the last 2 years, I have not managed to maximize my act on boycotting israel product. I shopped at mark and spencer, buy few other related products too. I am not happy about it. For the last few weeks I had been writing a lot about israel act of cruelty upon the Palestinian. But due to the unproper words used in the writings, I did not publish them in this blog. I might need to edit them here and there, but since I do not want to, all of them were kept in my laptop(ops…my honey laptop actually…her orange vaio….hmm…vaio’s is not israely ,but the processor,intel ,do associated with israel…need to do something about it)
Anyway, my point is I think now I am in the point where I feel I do not need all those quality israel products anymore. I probably could not avoid the products which I do not know its origin(if it has anything to do with israel), but I will try my best. Of course there will be something that could not be avoided, for example stop using technology that been created by the israel, but I will try my very best. So what if I do not eat mcD or drink starbucks anymore, hey I have Radix Coffee(mai sechawan!) In fact, my Honey does make decent homemade burger as well…so who need a certain red nose clown franchised burger anyway! Also, lately there are so many MLM products available. I know that their intention is easy money…but since their products are locals (most of them), why not? I rather make those MLMmonger rich than give my money to israel. There are many locals product out there besides those MLMs as well anyway. Yes, their quality is not top notch, their coffee do not have cream caramel, no frapuccino, and Honey’s burger still not juicy as Big Mac just yet( hehe……jangan mare) but I can live with it. People can change. Yes we have options. I want to change. I want to be a better person,at least better than I used to be.We do not need to live glamorously like actors in tvs to live our life(Which is short by the way), buying all those branded stuff, eat fancy cuisine at glamorous expensive restaurant or have fancy gadgets to play around when we are bored. I do not need all of those. Enough is enough! israel, I damned you. You have seen the last penny of mine.(I must stop here before this writing also end up in the laptop like the others I wrote)May Allah S.W.T blessed all the Palestinian and all people around the world as well.Amin
