‘Boycott American products’ said Dr.Mahathir Mohammad the racist and hypocrite, his latest blog entry on Israel-Gaza conflict and his advice on Malaysian to boycott American products is akin to him forming at the mouth while speaking. Let us take a look at the headlines around the world:

More than 2,000 Muslim restaurants in Malaysia will remove Coca-Cola from their menus as part of a boycott of American products in protest against Israel’s bombardment of Gaza, officials said Wednesday. In addition to Coca-Cola, he said they have identified some 100 other products ranging from food to beauty and clothing such as Starbucks, Colgate, McDonald’s and Maybelline.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m neither pro Israel nor anti Palestine for I am not an Arab, Christian, Jew, or Muslims. I’m just pointing out the hypocrisy in Dr.Mahathir Mohammad.

Since he called for a nationwide boycott of American products, I suggest he walk the talk, stop using computers because all operating system (Windows, Mac, and Linux) are American invention, not to mention Intel and AMD that powers 90% of the world’s computer, yes, go back to the pen and paper system. Maybe he should stop flying with airlines that uses Boeing, while he is at his boycott American product mode, he ought to stop blogging all together for the blogging platform he is using is off American. To lessen his burden, I’ve compiled a simple list of American products:

Levis, Yahoo, Google, Microsoft, Intel, AMD, Apple, ipod, Hollywood movies, Disney, American music, American tobacco companies, Boeing, Colgate, Nike, hp, Dell, Viagra, KFC, McDonald, IBM, US dollar, Esso, Motorola,… and most of our medical equipments in hospitals, walk the talk!

Come on, its a love hate relationship and to boycott American product is like slapping your own face. Remember, nobody is forcing you to use these American products!

Yup, I know. Linux by Linus. Linux spawn a great number of other OS such as Red Hat, Fedora, Ubuntu… these open source software are more american than anything else. Sorry, I should have stated it clearly as ‘American Open Source Software’ instead of ‘Linux’

Hollywood isn’t American, it’s anti-American and ethnically Jewish. The same with Disney: used to be American but isn’t anymore. American music? Oh, you mean muzak: African and Hebrew corruption of America, not really American per se.
American (actually Jewish at this point) fast food is crap. Everyone knows that.
Ipod is responsible for desensitivizing the ears of a whole generation. Their sound reproduction is so bad that it’s impossible to listen to actual music from them. (Muzak, on the other hand…)
Boeing? Who would fly anywhere unless he were a parasite whose work consists of “meetings”? Yeah, that’s some work.
Microsoft is a cartel that eats good designers and produces shit. Bill Gates is as much an American as Israel Emanuel or his lapdog Kenyan Marxist Barack Obama.

I hope you know that you have no right to judge Dr.Mahathir.What had he done until you need to said that he is a hypocrite?a racist?He was just giving out his point of view.And,He never shout “boycott American Products”,do not simply accused people.Who are you to judge?If you don’t agree with his point of view,you don’t have to waste your time so much on him.

@Predadent – yes, he did called all Malaysian to boycott American products, he told the Muslim workers to quit their jobs at Starbucks, read it all in his blog at chedet.cc
I can judge because he is our ex-prime minister, not another Joe the plumber walking among us.
p.s. not wasting my time on him, just pointing out his ‘mistakes’.
