Spending Power: Saving a Nation
You wonder why a state; having the backing of the biggest super-power, and many other nations is so afraid of a few plots of land and its inhabitants?
The fact that they have all the artillery, technology, and human capacity to just annihilate Gaza and the West Bank…but are so fearful or stone-throwing teenagers, and dare-I-say human bombers?
This nation which illegally occupies West Bank and Gaza, can defend itself in any manner it sees fit, but other nations cannot. If say, Iran wanted to defend itself in the same manner Israel is, it surely will receive economic embargoes. That happened to Iraq.
What can we do as a by-stander?
Yes, we denounce the actions by Israel, and cry foul for all their criminal activities.
Is that enough?
Currently, we can opt to:
- promote local industries i.e. buy & consume local products and services
- do businesses with ASEAN, OIC countries, etc and reduce dependence on the US, and Zion-sponsored companies/organizations
- assist the Palestinians by providing education assistance (to study outside of Palestine)
- educate and communicate to the masses
- donate to Aman Palestine or any Palestine-relief funds

In my student days, I had to change my lifestyle. I actually refrained from eating McD for 3 months. I think I can do better now that they are alternative burger outlets like Ramli, Burger King, Carl’s Jr and Wendy’s.
I don’t support Starbucks, but am a usual teh-tarik person or kopitiam person.
Hey, it’s not much to you. At least you’re not helping to pay for the armory that goes into killing our brothers and sisters in Palestine. Imagine the Rm12 for that mocha-latte-whatever, contributes to how many brutal deaths of Palestinian lives?
Even if you do not have the money to donate to the Aman Palestine or any Palestine-fund, at least your spending won’t kill any.
The death toll as at 5th Jan 09: 512 Palestinians vs 5 Israelis
We can do this.
What else can I do other than solat hajat? I am brainstorming, but for now…
Observe wiser spending habits
Let’s put our words into actions.
Let’s start saving whatever life left in Palestine, and help to rebuild a more peaceful and certain future.
I have started.
You can too.
