Do I support Israel by buying a Kosher Certified Product?

Question

I am somebody that wants to call herself Pro Palestinian and I was wondering in what way/shape or form I might support Israel if I buy something that DOES have the Kosher Certificate but is NOT an Israeli-an product. Does anybody has any idea? Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

Kosher does not mean Israeli.

Answer 2

Please go ahead and refrain from purchasing all products certified kosher. This includes products made by:



Kellogs

Campbels

Starbucks

Hidden Valley

Smart USA (aluminum pans, etc)

Coke

Pepsi

Gatorade

Nestle

Heinz

Subway (not all but some of their restaurants are certified kosher)

Tropicana Juices

Target's Archer Farms and Market Pantry

Walmart's Great Value

Orville Redenbacher

Del Monte

Hunt's tomato sauces



In fact, almost all major food producer companies have at least some products that are certified kosher. So, if you're worried that companies which choose to have products certified kosher might support Israel, you better be safe and not purchase any commercial food products.



You should also be careful because Israel is a major exporter of fresh vegetables. Israel is also at the forefront of developing new domesticated fruits and vegetables so don't by things like cherry tomatoes (developed in Israel), Jaffa oranges (developed in Israel), dragon fruit, and countless other fresh produce items.



You should also be aware that Israel is at the forefront of technological development. As such, you want to stay away from:



Microsoft products

HP products

Apple products

Motorola

Any company that uses voice prompt phone systems.

Any company that uses Amdocs customer database systems.



This isn't even touching on the medical developments that come out of Israel.



Good luck living a decent life. :)

Answer 3

If you wish to boycott Israel: 1. Do not use a laptop that uses an intel processor, as these have been designed in Israel. 2. Better eliminate your computer as quite often all of them use intel add-ons. 3. Don't use Microsoft home windows XP or Vista operating techniques (designed in Israel). Four. Don't use mobilephone telephones. 5. Don't use hydroponics. 6. Don't use solar panels for power. 7. Do not use desalinated or decontaminated water. Eight. Do not use cardiac stents. 9. Don't use digital cameras. 10. Do not use search-engines or any instruments utilising microchips. 11. Do not use IM programs as IM used to be developed by means of a bunch of Israeli programmers. .

Answer 4

I expect that most of the certified kosher labels and much of the food is made in china they probably have a village there called israel so they can put product of israel on it

Answer 5

Thank you for asking this question. Since I'm the opposite, I'm always looking for the "Made in Israel" label. Thanks to some of the other people who answered this question, I now have some other ideas. (Think I'll go buy some Jaffa oranges.)

Answer 6

don't muslims also "keep kosher"

probably learned this train of thought in college.

Answer 7

Maybe beliefs wise but in actual support.. I dont see the connection

Answer 8

Answer 9

Not really, but you'll make the Jewish proprietors of the business happy.

Answer 10

Nope, but in reality I doubt if you can even support yourself.

Answer 11

If you are in the U.S., you have to leave. Now.

There is no connection.
