Is it permissible to trade with Israel? Some groups in the Muslim community are very vociferous and vehement in their call to boycott Israel.

Answer

Why is Israel alone being made the target of the boycott call? Why not other countries as well. America, China and India are greater and worse oppressors of Muslims than Israel. In fact, Israel's survival depends on the U.S.A. It is America that buttresses every facet of Israeli life. The atrocities which the U.S.A. has committed in Afghanistan and Iraq are not hidden. The massacre of millions of Muslims by China and its brutal suppression of Islam – oppression which continue to this day, are conveniently overlooked by the munaafiqeen boycotters of Israel.

The ever-recurring massacre of Muslims in India and Kashmir is of no concern to these Israel boycotters. They all are munaafiq opportunists having worldly and monetary motives for their insincere and hollow boycott call.

The oppression on Palestinian Muslims by Israel has to be primarily attributed to America. Israel is merely a puppet and a backyard satellite of the U.S.A. From the inception of Israel's establishment, the U.S.A. has been its main supporter and protector. It has supplied and is still providing all the weapons which Israel needs for its atrocities. Every moron knows that Israel is the protégé of the U.S.A.

The first entity to boycott is China, then the U.S.A., India, Russia, Burma and Egypt. Egypt has been actively and flagrantly aiding Israel to suppress the Palestinians. It is Egypt that has closed all the lifeline tunnels of Gaza. Israel had failed to block all the tunnels.

These opportunists who are calling for boycotting Israeli goods, should be told to include in their boycott call all of the brutal kuffaar countries which are no better than Israel. In fact, their oppression is worse than Israeli oppression. Do not heed the boycott call of these hypocrite opportunists.
