The Importance Of Boycotting

The importance of boycotting

Keep this in mind for all boycotting. From doing it for Palestine to DR Congo to whoever else needs our support.

ID: A video by Mohamed Alnaas, from Libya, showing the chain of everyday products funding a genocide.

A young man with brown skin is looking into a display cooler of Pepsi cola, before grabbing one out of the fridge and approaching the cashier, another young man with brown skin. "How Much is this?" He asks, and the cashier responds "Two dinars".

The camera view splits into 16 grids, showing various hands as a chorus of voices say "Here you go," passing over that two dinars, which quickly is multiplied by the number of people who purchase these pepsi products every day.

The cashier puts the bills into his till and begins counting a wad of cash from the till as the camera zooms through the store to show a Pepsi delivery truck -- the camera zooms in as the store owner passes a wad of cash over to the delivery driver, then we see a man in a building as he is counting and sorting the bills, which flash by the screen as they transition into $100 demonimation American Dollars, stacks and stacks of them as an entire briefcase is filled in a small white office , showing that same business man as he brings the suitcase full of thousands and millions worth of American dollars to a military contractor.

The scene changes again, until we are in a dimly lit warehouse, where a man is presneting the suitcase full of cash to his superior, who gives a thumbs up to a worksman, who puts on welding goggles and does a montague of hammering, cutting, welding, and painting, until he proudly presents a missile to his superior, nestled in a case of straw.

"Perfect!" the superior exclaims.

The scene changes again, to show a fighter jet flying at high speed through a rainstorm, lit from beneath by glowing lights on the ground. The Camera zooms into show the pilot in the cockpit, as their superior officer questions "Captain, do you have eyes on the target?"

The pilot is expressionless as they respond "Affirmative. I have visuals" while lightning flashes around them. The Pilot leans over to look down at the ground, where a young girl is running playfully while her father follows behind her. "Sir, are you sure about the coordinates? I'm seeing civilians nearby" The pilot narrates.

The girl is looking up into the storm, as the pilot's superior orders "Do it!"

Suddenly, we are in the clouds as the bomb is dropping through the air, lighting flashing all around as the storm clouds part to reveal a city in the midst of being bombed. The bomb we are following drops -- and the camera zooms into the little girl's eyes before going black.

there is a pause, the screen black, before we are zoomed out again, seeing the girl's innocent expression as she looks skyward at the bomb about to drop on her, with her father crouched at her side, cradling her in his arms; he knows what is about to happen to them. Heatwaves from the fires waver across the screen in a red glow as we zoom in on the girl's face as her eyes are lit by the light of the fires ; the camera moves back again, and we see the girl, with her father crouched with her in his arms, the bomb inches away from them as the sky and earth turn red hot like fire as it moves in slow motion, before making contact in a flash of light.

the word "boycott" hovers into view, shaking unsteadily. end ID

‼️Emergency please don't skip‼️

🇵🇸 save family lost their home ,dreams and everything in Gaza 🇵🇸

This is my home before the war and after the war how it became💔💔💔

Before: After:

We have been through many wars before, but this war was not like the ones before it. Our lives were turned upside down. We became displaced from one place to another. We are the Anas family, residents of northern Gaza, specifically in the Shujaiya area. In the first week of the war, we fled our home because everyone considered our home to be in a dangerous area. We moved to the Rimal area, specifically in the middle of Gaza. There, we received the news that our home, which contained all our beautiful memories, was bombed. Suddenly, it was gone!!! Just thinking that your home, which you worked hard on and built from scratch and took a lot of your life, was gone in less than a second ! After a while, we left the sands to the Al-Zawaida area because of the heavy shelling. We stayed there for about two weeks, and then the terrorist army asked us to go to Rafah. We actually fled for the fourth time to Rafah and stayed there for two months, some of the most difficult days of our lives, as there was no way or means to live a normal life. 😔😔 After that, because of the invasion of Rafah, we moved to Deir al-Balah. Now, we are in very difficult and oppressive circumstances.
