I do not know enough about why donating money to Israel is a bad thing - it did not go to the Nation, or the Military, but rather to an orginization dedicated to education. See here:
Sweety, Israel stands for hatered, racism and thousand's of Muslim's blood is on that nation!
I couldnt care less for what its INTENTIONS are...they might be as pious as Jesus(Isa) but what they STAND for is just not acceptable to us Muslims.
Israel ONLY thinks European civilisation is worthy and civilised u can read up on 'Zionism's' ideology anytime u like :)
Its about their HATERED and their existance stands for terrorism...so thats y we boycott their feelings and products :)
Hm. I am not from the middle east. However, does the entire nation of israel, down to the last man, certainly hate every muslim? I'm not fully aware of the details, I only know that Christiand, Jews, and Muslims alike all hold some special significance to Jerusalem.
Many muslim sects have been turned to Terrorism and guerilla warfare - should I boycott all arabic products because so many of their people hate the christian nation? I don't know how many arabic products I use...
Thousand, no, hundreds of thousands, of Muslim's blood is on Europe, remember the crusades? Do you buy european products? Thousands of American deaths are on the hands of muslims - if we're going to just blanket generalize here - and vice versa, but we still do business.
Lots of people have killed muslims, and muslims have killed lots of people. Many people would say that Islam itself stands for hatred and war.
i will look into Zionism, I have heard the word but not in it's proper context. However, the list of people who support your enemies is much longer than just Starbucks. I would suggest that to see this reasoning through, you boycot the products of many, many companies. Lots of money goes to Israel because a significant portion of at least American corporations are owned and run by Jewish executives. Ha, corporations are so loud about their charity, i'm sure there's a list, probably engraved in gold somewhere!
I see here the tendancy to take the actions of a small, small part, and take revenge on them at the whole of what is attached to it. Fear and Hate are bad for the soul, and what's more, they cloud the mind. Most large groups of people are guilty of this one way or another, but the individual should be more discerning, more specific. Mankind is not evil, but there are a great many evil men. You would not have me judge you yourself based on the actions of the Taliban, would you? If you would strike the heart of a matter, you must know where the heart lies - not fire haphazardly in the direction of the problem.
