		<description>One company that I was absolutely unaware of which is complicate in the home demolitions is Volvo, they provide many of the bulldozers Israel uses.  I caught this in a video here a few weeks ago.  Caterpillar is ALWAYS mentioned but that was the FIRST time I had heard about Volvo.  I don&#039;t know if Volvo is black-listed, what the status of the black-list is, (how much it is still in affect since my reference is KSA many years ago) but since Ford bought out Volvo, (and Ford was blacklisted way back then) I was thinking Volvo should DEFINITELY be something to boycott on both accounts.  We as ordinary people aren&#039;t out buying Caterpillar equipment every day, but we sure do buy cars.</description>

		<description>Great post!  Long time fan and reader, first time commenter.  I think there is a huge potential for this kind of protest.  Call it, &#039;vote with your wallet&#039;.  The most important thing, the God even, to our oppressors is the almighty dollar.  Therefore the wallet is the most vulnerable place to attack them.  I would add an idea to this; an energizer, or force multiplier if you will, that could make such an action many times more effective.  Each time you personally boycott a product of one of these companies, you let them know.  Write them, e-mail them, whatever, just let them know and let them know WHY.  As soon as they connect a profit dip with their own actions, it will prompt an immediate response.  They serve the money after all.  Cause and Effect.  Let them know.</description>

		<description>btw, it&#039;s not on the list, but i saw Blockbuster video in Ariel settlement. 

sabbah, consider putting a link to this media alert? http://www.americanhummus.com/2006/12/28/israel-to-resume-pinoint-attacks-on-palestinian-militants/

It&#039;s about CNN International&#039;s biased reporting, and calls for emailing CNN.</description>

		<description>Moey,

Not good enough reasons to justify Starbucks. Claiming that these are rumors means you are missing a lot of inside and published stories. If you look at the extensive resources that &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.inminds.co.uk/boycott-starbucks.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Inminds&lt;/a&gt; have and find a counter evidences, then I can buy-in, otherwise, I see no justification to open my arms to support a Zionist.

Ali,

I agree with you. We should focus on terrorist network. However, I don&#039;t buy in your vision, for Zionism is the terrorist network that is behind my problems. Your problems might be caused by different network than I care to look at. (For those who don&#039;t know Ali, he is a pro-Zionist who justifies the crimes of the Zionist state all through out).</description>

		<description>Yes, well this sort of thing almost never works.
How about focusing more on the alienation of terrorist networks and less on Ronald McDonald?</description>

		<description>well.. some people finds it hard to boycott all the brands that you have mentioned. but my answer is simple... if you want to boycott these brands you should change your life style.

for example i changed my lifestyle in way that i don&#039;t need to go Starbucks  or hayyat hotel or buy any of those fancy products.... 

its a matter of needs.. and you create the needs for your self.. so if we need to have a successful boycott we need to change the way we live.</description>

		<description>Now here comes my personal confession note. I can see how some of us simply must have that Starfucks cup and eat that McShit sandwich. It&#039;s an addiction just like Marlboro (another American product that kills but we must buy it for the good of Jordan...right?) I had my share too.

I am not much better today but I am making an effort, and I am fine with the progress being made. No, I don&#039;t claim to have stopped. But I have reduced my consumption down to 20% for some pro-zionst US products, and for others 100% reduction. 

I used to drink Pepsi almost daily, but now, I drink it once a week and eventually I will phase it out. From 365 cans of pepsi per year to 50 cans, that to me is doing something. And I know that 50 cans of Pepsi is still too much. Of course I used to drink Sratfucks twice a day (600 cups per year plus newspaper and  muffin), now I drink it may be less than 6 times a year. That to me is serious progress. Same with McShit. 

I will no longer argue in defense of something so selfish and meaningless by trying to find flaws in the pro-boycott camp. No one is perfect, but those who care and are doing something about it, even if it&#039;s not 100% perfect, are far more decent than those who feel no remorse and try to undermine the proactive anti-zionists. 

But my biggest accomplishment is my admission of weakness, instead of the constant dishonest whitewash.

		<description>Why do both sides of the boycott debate try to posit the argument in absolute terms. No it&#039;s not possible to boycott all pro-Zionist products (nor is it desirable) and yes some products are worth boycotting because they have no value except to enrich the bastards and harden our arteries. 

Junk food, coffee, and soda have nothing to do with the public good. Nor are the 100 odd low-tech, unskilled jobs they bring with them. But a research &amp; development outfit or a CAT scan machine, is for the public good, if no substitutes can be found. 

technology products, be it Intel or Microsoft, are essential for our economy and national security and technological evolution. Fatty burgers, fried chicken, and coffee are not essential for national security and do not add skilled workers to the Jordanian labor force. 

At the end, what is needed is commonsense and a sincere desire to do some good espically when the price to be paid is nominal and is measured in terms of mild personal discomfort. 

The boycott of Danish goods is a good example of the effectiveness of boycotts. Besides, 90% of boycotted Danish goods were not essential to our economy and had substitutes.</description>

		<description>Wow, giving up Maybelline Long Lasting mascara will be hard. :)

Some of those I boycott already for other reasons. Not that I buy it, but does it help Victoria&#039;s Secret that they manufacture in Jordan?

In a mall in California there was a kiosk selling Dead Sea skin care products. Looking closer I realized it was an Israeli company from the wrong side of the Dead Sea, so I confronted the hard-selling duo on the tactics of their nation. What was sad was they were both fairly recent immigrants from Russia, and it made me crazy that they could get visas to the US so easily to promote Israeli products.

thanks Haithim!</description>
