the campaign of boycotting israel's and american products that is connected directly with israel has been going on for a while... there's some people who looking it in a positive way, and some others saying that we will never be able to boycott as we actually using israel's products everyday, indirectly...
well, for me... let's just be a smart consumer. yup, we will never be able to 100% boycott israel related products. without us knowing, the container that the government use to import stuff might even also manufactured by israel... so, even if we do this boycott, eventually items we are using indirectly related to israel and give them some profit, might be not much but it's still there.
so, by being a smart consumer, i think we could minimize the usage of israel related products. yup... why eat McD while there's Ken Tak Kee. Why drink Starbucks, while we have Setarbak Kopi. haha... we dont have to use every and each israel related product. maybe we depends too much on these products before. But, 30% of something is better than nothing. that's what we really need now. Imagine if every person in this world will give up their dependancy at least 10% on israel's product, it would certainly effect the economy of israel.
that's one issue... and for those who are boycotting israel's related products, you dont have to remind us who somehow work/doing intern about the company's support for israel. u dont have to say "xpe la, keje je la dgn org israel laknatullah tu." yesssss... for me it does sound like we do feel good working for those guys. it does sound like we are happy working for those guys. it does sound like we are so bad for working for those guys. while actually, there's no company had offered me to do intern before them. while actually, we are not the one who make the decision to support those people to attack palestinians. while actually, we are not the one who give them bullet to shoot those palestinians directly. and what's worse, actually I DO FEEL BAD WORKING FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT ISRAEL'S ACTION ON GAZA.
but what choice do i have???? quit the internship and repeat the industrial training? is it worth it? why dont i just continue to take some experience, learn some skills they offered and contribute them to those palestinian somehow after this? they pay me, so can't i at least give some contribution with the payment that i get? is it working with those guys make me so bad???
say whatever you want. this is my plan. IF I MANAGE TO GET ANOTHER BETTER JOB OFFER, I WILL DEFINITELY GO OUT OF INTEL. if i cant get another, what choice do i have rite? and another thing is, THE JOB THEY OFFERED ME IS NOT YET OFFICIAL, NO OFFER LETTER HAS BEEN PRODUCED. AND ACCEPT THIS FACT, INTEL HAS FREEZE NEW HIRE. SO, IF I'M NOT SATISFIED WITH WHAT HAPPEN, I DEFINITELY CAN WITHDRAW THE OFFER IF THEY MAKE ONE.
so, i still sound bad like i am being an ally of those who attack Gaza? up to you. at least, my laptop is using AMD's processor, not Intel's like most of us do. At least i'm using less one israel products as the beginning of boycott.

Boikot Israel tak bererti perlu buang handset Nokia yang aku ada sekarang. At least, tak beli yang baru lagi berjenama Nokia. Dan promote jenama lain selain Nokia.
Bukan juga bererti berhenti kerja dari kilang Intel secara serta merta. Tapi, tidak merancang untuk terus kerja selamanya di kilang itu. Dan elok juga didermakan sebahagian daripada elaun praktikal untuk rakyat Palestin secara berterusan.
Kefahaman datang dulu selepas boikot. Kalau boikot tanpa kefahaman, tak tercapai 50% daripada maksud asal -- kebersamaan dengan derita rakyat Palestin.
