IF YOU’RE GOING TO BOYCOTT
ISRAEL – DO IT PROPERLY!
OK. I understand that you have an issue with Israel
and you are in love with the Palestinians.
That’s OK, but I understand that, because of this, you
want to boycott Israel?
As an Israeli I’ll be sorry to miss you but, if you are
going to do it, do it properly.
It’s easy to tell people to picket stores selling Israeli
products, but don’t you think you ought to set a personal
example?
Don’t you think it’s wrong for you to be telling others
to stop using Israeli products when you yourself are using
them? That would be hypocritical, don’t you think?
So look around you. Let’s see what you have.
Together, we can make sure you are holding true to your
cause.
I had thought of sending you this letter by email but
that would have compromised your principles and we
wouldn’t want to do that, would we?
Most Windows operating systems were developed by
Microsoft-Israel. The Pentium NMX chip technology was
designed by Intel in Israel. Both the Pentium
microprocessor and the Centrium processor were entirely
designed, developed, and produced in Israel.
Voice mail technology was developed in Israel. The
technology for AOL’s Instant Messenger ICQ was
developed in 1996 by four Israeli whiz kids. That, I guess,
cuts out all your voice and text messaging to me and your
friends and supporters.
Both Microsoft and Cisco built their only R&D
facilities outside the United-States in Israel.
So, sorry! You have to throw away your computer.
Your bad news does not end there. Get rid of your
cellular phone! Cell phone technology was also developed
in Israel by Motorola. Motorola has its biggest development
centre in Israel. Most of the latest technology in your
mobile phone was developed by Israeli scientists and
technicians.
If you are thinking of selling your computer and
IPhone on eBay, forget it! Their shopping technology is
Israeli. Deal Time.com was founded in Israel in 1998 by
Dr.Nahum Sharfman and Amir Ashkenazi. It became
Shopping.com and was acquired by eBay in 2005. Since
then it operates the Pay Pal payment system.
So now you are computerless, and unable to
communicate by mobile phone. Pity!
You will miss the new Altair chipset that is at the heart
of the 4g cellular revolution. It will enable people to do
things you can do at home on your IPhone such as play
interactive games, download mp3 and video files. You’ll
miss it, but that shouldn’t bother you because Altair is an
Israeli company.
By the way, I know you stored your data in your
diskonkey. I have to take it off you. Yes, you’ve guessed it.
Diskonkey is an Israeli invention.
Feeling unsettled, nervous of your future? You should
be. Part of your personal security rests with Israeli
inventiveness. This is borne out of our urgent need to
protect and defend our lives against the terrorists that you
support. A phone can remotely activate a terrorist’s bomb,
or it can be used for tactical communications by terrorists,
bank robbers, or hostage takers. It is vital that official
security and law enforcement authorities have access to
cellular jamming and detection solutions. This is where
Israel’s network communications technologies, with its
security expertise, helps in the fight against global terror.
Not feeling secure? Sorry to hear that your health is
breaking down. However, before you reach out for your
pills, watch out! All the generic brands for your heartburn
derive from Israeli laboratories. In fact, check the labels in
your medicine cabinet. Make sure you don’t have any
tablets, drops, lotions marked Teva, or Abic. They are the
Israeli pharmaceutical companies that are world leaders in
prescription drugs.
It may mean you will suffer from colds and flu this
winter but, hey, that’s a small price to pay in your personal
crusade against Israel, wouldn’t you say?
While we are on the subject of your Israeli boycott,
and the medical contributions given to the world Israeli
doctors and scientists, how about telling your friends to
avoid the following:
An Israeli company has developed a simple blood test
that distinguishes between mild and more severe cases of
multiple sclerosis. So, if you know of anyone suffering from
MS, tell them to ignore the Israeli patent that may, more
accurately, diagnose their symptoms. Somehow I think they
are going to ignore you.
An Israeli-made devise helps restore the use of
paralyzed hands. This device electrically stimulates the
hand muscles providing hope to millions of stroke sufferers
and victims of spinal injuries some caused by terror attacks
by the people you support. If you wish to remove this hope
of a better quality of life from these people, go ahead and
boycott Israel.
Young children with breathing problems will soon
be sleeping more soundly thanks to a new Israeli device
called the Child Hood. This innovation replaces the
inhalation mask with an improved drug delivery system
that provides relief for child and parents. Please tell
anxious mothers that they shouldn’t use this device due
to your passionate cause.
Boycotts often affect research. A new research centre
in Israel hopes to throw light on brain disorders such as
depression and Alzheimer’s disease. The Joseph Sangol
Neuroscience Centre in the Sheba Medical Centre at Tel
Hashomer Hospital aims to bring thousands of scientists and
doctors to focus on brain research. But you would prefer
depression and Alzheimer’s disease to go unchallenged
until they can be cured by non-Israeli scientists and
researchers.
