I always feel for this Palestine conflict yet i don't feel like i'm actually taking action and trying to do something. I admire my sister with things like this. She's only a year and a half younger than me, yet she does quite a bit of boycotting. It all began when i brought home a double sided leaflet on companies which support Israel.

I think the first thing she boycotted was Radox. Thats nice and easy and theres hundreds of other shower gels that you can use. Then she boycotted Coke, not just that, but all the different flavours of Fanta, because its produced by CocaCola.

Then she decided to boycott Nestle. So thats all the Nesquik powdered milkshakes along with the ever-so-tempting Nestle ice lollies. There's always alternative milkshakes, chocolates and ice lollies, so she won't eat any nestle products however nice they look. (How can she resist?!) 

Then she took it to a new level. She doesn't eat ANYTHING from Tesco's. So if my mums done the weekly shopping from there, she just won't eat any of those foods. So now, my mums left with no other option but to shop at a place other than Tesco's. Tesco's is ONLY for a last minute item (which she won't eat or use anyway). 

So ASDA it is! (They seem cheaper aswell lol)

I couldn't careless about the flavour of drinks, im not that picky when it comes to things like this and i wouldn't say i'm a 'fan' of any of the CocaCola products, some of them just taste good, that's all.

I 'can' sacrifice not having CocaCola products, but when i see them infront of me, i think 'oh its there, its already bought and i may aswell drink it now'. But i think i need to stop the roots of it all, so when i'm in a shop and looking at what to buy, i should opt for other options and definitely not a product of CocaCola. This is what i'm going to start off with to take some actual action!

It might seem like such a small thing, but the more people that do the same, even in such a small amount, the larger the impact. Its these small decisions that we make, which are going to help our fellow brothers and sisters in Palestine, inshaAllah!

I'd love to have a read.

LOL, that book was banned in France for a while over allegations of antisemitism! 

My friend said to me yesterday, "But the Prophet used to trade with the Jews who were his enemies"

I did reply to that, but I probably shouldn't have, as well I thought it's a good point, and I'm not sure if what I said was valid.

I'd like to hear how you would reply?

Dis he actually trade with proper enemies, who really really hated him? Or just non-Muslims? I know I've read about him trading with non-Muslims but can't remember, exactly, who.
