Are you boycotting Israel or humanity?

Are you really boycotting Israel or human life?

From time to time I read articles written by those who are constantly encouraging people to boycott Israel. What are they boycotting? Usually they are talking about food and drinks… However, we have to be objective. Israel is the country of innovations, science, and technology. Unfortunately, there are those who want to spread hate instead of love, so they prefer to promote discrimination. However, there’s one thing I want to say to these people attacking Israel: be coherent and boycott all products from Israel, and we’ll see if what you’re boycotting is Israel or the whole humanity.

So let’s have a look at some more products you should boycott and in this article I’m going to focus on the medical area. Israel is a country that invests in the future. It’s a land of amazing innovations which are useful not just for Israelis but the entire humanity. Given this point, I hope that some people will switch off TV and use their own brain to conclude what is that makes this world better place? Is it hate, or maybe someone’s work which contributes for a better life to all people? Decision is yours. So let’s have a look at just a few of them.

– “Save a Child’s Heart” (SACH) is a humanitarian organisation which provides treatment to children who suffer from heart disease from all around the world. Unfortunately, adequate medical care cannot be provided to those children in their home countries, therefore they come in Israel. Are you boycotting Israel or the right of a child to live?

Finally I will mention one interesting fact which will not be presented in media. Israel set up field hospitals on its border with Syria in order to provide adequate medical care to the victims of the Syrian civil war. Are you really boycotting Israel or you just don’t care about human lives?

So why are these people boycotting Israel? Because they hate the fact that Israel is not just on the map to stay but to contribute to better quality of life?

Moreover, there are people who are silent when innocent lives are taken away on most brutal manners. They are silent when terrorists show horrific executions and appear proud with blood on their hands.

When it comes to boycott, I may say that there are few issues which should be boycotted immediately; human stupidity, hate speech and indifference to the value of human life.
Quoting a wonderful thought from the Talmud: “Whoever saves one life saves the world entire”; should remind everyone that Israeli innovations are saving lives all around the world on daily basis.

So think about it again: Are you boycotting Israel or human life?
