Before Boycotting Israel

[Nazgûl Killer]

Watch this before you decide to go with the head-to-wall approach of "ISRAEL IS EVIL"
Also, I have checked most of the things seen in this video before giving up, ALL of them have been said to be developed in Israel or invented in Israel.
Feel free to check them yourselves.


Also, before declaring that none of these stuff were invented in Israel, please LISTEN to the words:
The Google company USES an Israeli server, not made by Israel.
Main chips in Intel company and main processors were MADE and INVENTED in Israel, Intel was not invented by Israel.
And so on and so on.

Boycotting?

[Nazgûl Killer]

Alienating/Divorcing and so on, for the exact definition, search Google for definition.

I know but it means, but" before boycotting"?
Whos boycotting Israel?

[Heinz Guderian]

What does this have to do with shooting children?

lmao nice vid.

I see what they did there:

If a minor sub-division of a company made a tiny fraction if a component in Israel, then they claim it as a "Israeli invention".
I could just as well claim Windows Vista as a Dutch invention because the logo was made by a Dutch designer.

But lets face it: anything made or invented in Israel could just as easily be made or invented elsewhere.
Our society won't collapse if we stopped trading with a tiny insignificant flee of a country like Israel - I can tell because I live in a similar tiny insignificant country the world can easily do without.

btw: good to see Israeli's are starting to get worried.
I just hope they think about this the next time they plan on killing children.

Whether or not it could have been invented elsewhere is irrelevant, what matters is that it was not invented elsewhere.

well that's just not true. Where would we get our wooden clogs, windmills and ecstasy from?

[Nazgûl Killer]

Well, I've seen about 4 threads going against Israel, either with the OP stating anti-Israeli 'facts', or the thread spinning towards that direction. So, I just wanted to open people's eyes.

See?
Actually, the Desert Eagle is manufactured in Israel.
XP is a Microsoft Israel invention.
And I have some other additions, but that's aside the point - The fact is, all those things that could have been invented elsewhere, weren't. So this is isn't a debate saying: "So? I could do that too!" - What the video is saying "Whether you could, or could not do it, the fact is, we did it, not you".

In addition to that, do you have any proof that anything here was 'tiny fraction' made in Israel? My brother is working for Intel here in Israel and I have proof we make dozens of chips and export them all over, not sure about the timeframe though.
About the medicine, ever heard of the company called Teva? One of the biggest, if not the biggest, pharmaceutical company in the world? Guess what its origin is? Israel.

So, please, bring proof instead of just stating factless statements.

[Watchman]

Actually, the Desert Eagle is manufactured in Israel.

And was developed by Magnum Research, US. Kinda crappy gun anyway - gimmick, more or less. Which is partly why IMI got the license AFAIK.

Now that one was just pointless.

Also for the sake of comparision I could cite Finnish inventions useful worldwide, but what would that prove - that Finns come up with stuff too ? No, really ?
And it would bear no more relevance whatsoever to any of the state's policies.

OK, next time I'm lost in a desert and need an eagle to show me the way I'll try to remember that.

XP is a Microsoft Israel invention.

True, but not Vista nor Windows 7.

In a different thread I already mentioned XP as the only decent thing coming from Israel in a long while.

The fact is, all those things that could have been invented elsewhere, weren't. So this is isn't a debate saying: "So? I could do that too!" - What the video is saying "Whether you could, or could not do it, the fact is, we did it, not you".

So?

You think you can murder inniocent children and rape underaged girls because your country invented a few things?

you have any proof that anything here was 'tiny fraction' made in Israel? My brother is working for Intel here in Israel and I have proof we make dozens of chips and export them all over, not sure about the timeframe though.

Intel Israel invented the Pentium 4 (which btw was crap), but the Core 2 was invented by the Americans.

About the medicine, ever heard of the company called Teva? One of the biggest, if not the biggest, pharmaceutical company in the world? Guess what its origin is? Israel.

According to wikipedia:

It is the largest generic drug manufacturer in the world and one of the 20 largest pharmaceutical companies worldwide.

Anyone can make generic drugs........they are generic.

I didn't even have to watch the video. I saw the pie in the preview image and immediately knew that nothing Israel could ever do would be wrong.

I mean, come on...they have PIE!

So because Israel has invented these things, it justifies the actions that the Israeli government take on foreign policy?

I'm not turning this into a foreign policy debate, but I'll say this: It's not like the US, or the UK for that matter, did anything different. (Afghanistan/Ireland)

But I'm still not turning this into "Israel commits warcrimes!!!!" thread with no facts whatsoever, and when facts are brought that support the Israeli side, everyone ignores it and says "Lies, lies lies!".

Let's keep it what it is, what the OP states.

[Valentin the II]

OK, to any one that missed the point, just read my sig:
In contrast to the efforts of tiny Israel to make contributions to the world so as to better mankind, one has to ask what have those who have strived to eliminate Israel from the face of the earth done other than to create hate and bloodshed.

PS: Nice vid, although it is rather old.

Exactly because in Gaza other than being bombed to hell an other famous trait is that they have many universities with lots of money to provide endless resources to Palestinians. Oh wait...

Sure but just because a country invents something, albeit, a lot of things in this case lol, doesn't mean it's "unpopular" actions are justified because of this...

I'm not anti-Israeli by any means, just to clarify.

This^.

Just cos they helped to invent stuff doesnt give them the right to shoot kids.
