#BoycottWoolworths campaign grows

Guess I'll have to start buying my groceries at Woolworths to make up for this boycott? I would love to see how these people are left starving instead of using their woolworths cards :D We all know this won't happen. So many people living on debt that cards like those feed them. Good luck :p

aaah, the dark ages:
which is exactly where the middle east has remained, while the rest of humanity has moved on.
but why is that, what is common to all the middle eastern countries that have remained in the dark ages - besides one, the single one that constantly advances & evolves ?

things were good in the middle east at one time.
then along came a self proclaimed prophet - all the maths & science seemed to come to an end after the imposition of his newly invented religion.

since then, not too much has really come from the area in terms of maths, science, medicine & technology - besides from that tiny pesky country shining in the dark
 
Israel also have their ultra orthodox Jews, so they are also kind of backwards but the ones running the country is not when it comes to technology.
 
If only the BDS movement were consistent in their boycott of Israel, please boycott the following tech:

Microsoft has a big R & D facility there - so boycott all Microsoft products.
Apple and Samsung use Anobit flash technology developed in Israel
Sun Java used in the Kindle developed there.
USB Flash stick invented there.
Motorola in Israel worked on the first Cell phone.
PlayStation 3 uses Israeli technology
Powermat charging device
Mobileeye driver assist in BMW, GM, Volvo, Hyundai, Ford, Citroen.

Oh and when you go for any medical checkup or need medication please check that no Israeli technology is/was used.
And please check none of the foods you eat were produced using any Israeli tech either.

The woolworths boycott is largely based on lousy PR from WW.
A Jewish lady wrote to woolworths saying she spends a measly 8000 a year at WW and wanted to know if they will continue to sell Israeli goods, WW replied yes and inequovaliqy supported Israel.
That's when things got to where they are now.

Garnier also fell into the trap but appologised.

PnP, Coke, Volvo and many others are pro Israeli but seem to be getting away from the major backlash.
Those that say Intel is Israeli is like saying china makes Nike, they do but it's American, same with intel chips.
 
As a Muslim this is seriously becoming embarassing as hell. I've been discussing this boycott of certain stores etc. and explaining how illogical and stupid it is. The only thing they are achieving is further convincing the world that we are intollerant and narrow minded.

I've said many times the only way to garner to support on the whole Palestine issue is to get the world to stand with you which would include Jews, Christians Hindus, Atheists etc. And how do you do this? By isolating and making a fool of yourselves and your religion? Really?

I'll say it again, Muslims need to show the world the Islam we know and love and not this new age crap of let's make everyone hate us to show how loving we are. #boycottignorance

(By the way I hate hashtags)

One of those hey...
Boycotts work, it's a fact.
WW will not close down, the boycott does not wish for it to happen.

The aim is for WW to see how their imports of 0.1% can affect a drop in 5% of revenue.
No need to feel embarrassed about that.
