I'm going to blog about why I’m boycotting mcD and why you too should do the same.
I’ve been boycotting mcD for 1 month and this is my second attempt. The first time I boycotted mcD because during that time there was an intensive campaign in Malaysia urging everyone to do that, even our beloved ex-Pm Tun Dr Mahathir asking us to boycott the states products. But I wasn’t consistent and as time flew I gave up and started eating again as the campaigns slowed down and finally not heard-of anymore.
I admit this is not something easy to do because I love mcD so much. I used to eat mcD burgers or fries or ice cream at least once in two days. But now I’m starting to do this again, boycotting them. Because I think this is the least I can do to help our brothers in Palestine.
Quoting as what written in Vivapalestina, according to website of the Jewish United Fund of Metropolitan Chicago, McDonald's Corporation is a major corporate partner of the Jewish United Fund(JUF). JUF "works to maintain American military, economic and diplomatic support for Israel; monitors and, when necessary, responds to counter negative media coverage of Israel".
In the site also said: It provides financial aid annually to help the development of Kiryat Gat and to promote further illegal settlements there. This city is built on stolen Palestinian land - the lands of the villages of Iraq al Manshiya and Al-Faluja whose residents were ethnically cleansed in 1949 in contravention of International Law.
Reading this makes me decide to not buying mcD food again. I don’t want to contribute even one cent to a company that clearly has violated international law and human right. Imagine if it is our land that was taken.

But I think it isn’t fair if we only listen to one side of the story. Hence I visited mcD malaysia website and I found this:
so what do you think. should we boycott mcD?
