Boycotting may not harm Israeli economy, but it does harm friends of Israel, who fund, support and promote Israel, and whose support and pressure on other governments allows Israel to exist and continue the genocide.

Targeted boycott is when you pick 2 or 3 things to boycott, it’s more effective then broad boycott. For example, it’s ok if you go buy an Israeli computer because that is hard to avoid, but then you should avoid McDonalds and Starbucks because those are easy to avoid. Target the weak points and then the whole system will collapse

We should go a step further and support Muslim owned brands. Muslims should create bbrands which compete with the zionist ones so people have choices and options and then list these companies to support for example. Eidparty for decorations - a great company for parties. Jack Murat for coffee Australian Muslim brand but they deliver to the UK. Lets reply here to make a list of muslim owned brands that you want to promote so we can invest in them

What i understood from this brother is that boycotting on the grassroots level ie brands, as opposed to sanctions and divestment, will probably not be most impactful on the political level. That is, my boycotting McDonald's, Starbucks, PureGym etc may not stop the suffering of the Palestinians. However, we still do it because it is not as simple as making a direct impact; boycotting is just one prong. I think many of us have this misunderstanding about boycotting that it doesn't change the grand scheme of things hence pointless.

We had all this oil money invested in the west, places like major cities, London, newyork and Paris by golf states. It's time to invest in emerging economies in Africa, Turkey and other states around the world that are Muslims. Enough is done to prop up economies that are hostile to Muslims, it's time to change course, look after your own Muslims and create the conditions that will enable them to prosper.

The impact of all boycotts is neglectable, if you are comfortably living in a Western society and contribute to the military support of Israel with every penny spent or earned via the taxes collected from these transactions. Shouldn't it be highest priority of a conscious Muslim to make Hijra to a country that does not support Israel?

@laurant4282 Ай бұрын

But if all the righteous muslims and even the other pro-palestine non-mulims left those countries...those countries would be left to do as they please and would never stop supporting israel. Consider the branches of the ummah that are in America Europe and other countries the "bring then down from the inside out" branch. Also, Saudi Arabia is run by Zionists, but of course the muslims cannot leave.

@@BlueBlue23 What's worse, living in the country that has a HEAVY hand in providing arms that kill them vs buying a product that supports Israel. We Muslims always run and hide from the real issue.

Stopping to pay for Israel bombs by leaving the supporting countries would be a real boycott and would weaken those. Abstaining from your daily Starbucks Latte may be a big sacrifice for you, but will not do the trick. Living and working in the West increases its workforce, wealth and power and does not change the Western politics.
