Logic vs Counter Logic
Alright, it’s been awhile since the last update. Nothing much going around other than the Gaza conflict and the President Elects few nothing-to-shout-about-so-called-scandals.
Recently, Israel has launched a land assault on to Gaza, which has painted (and still is) Palestine red with blood. I would certainly hope a ceasefire to take place immediately. However, the Israelis actions to continue the siege and ignoring UN’s proposal for an immediate and permanent ceasefire has caused the Muslim community to act against the main powers of this very conflict.
Thus, the Prime Minister of Malaysia, YB Dato’ Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has suggested publicly a few days back to boycott American and Israeli products. Yes, we understand and are deeply touched by the unity of the Islamic community (no one wants bloodshed anymore, since Hitler probably) but a total boycott would be heavily affect the economy, not only for the Americans but also ourselves.
Recently however, Selangor’s MB made a very good point that we should indeed boycott American and Israeli products, but only after a close analysis of products which are fully owned by Americans or Israelis, as there are a majority of products which are co-owned by Muslim countries.
“There should be a ban on Muslims buying weaponry directly from these countries or even through a third party,” said Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim. That would be a great example of a product which a total embargo would serve its purpose.
All in all, in this short post, I pray for all the lives lost, along with greater strength and endurance towards the families of those who have passed. May god (of any religion if necessary) bless you all.
May this conflict quickly come to an end before more blood is shed.
