‘We can destroy Israel’s financial sector’; Muslim shopkeepers in India
New Delhi: Muslim shopkeepers in India have boycotted Israeli products. Israel has banned US products as part of its support for the Palestinian people.
“Our income may decrease at times. We cannot fight with them. But it is possible to destroy Israel’s economic sector. Now people started using alternative brands.
The demand for the brands that were in demand earlier has also decreased now following the boycott. Of course, this will have results,” Mohammad Nadeem, a trader, told Al Jazeera.
His store does not have any products like Pepsi or Coca-Cola. The ban on Israeli products has sparked a new wave of protests among local Muslim communities. Local families are also fully supporting the shopkeepers’ ban on the produce.
‘When I found out regarding this, I stopped buying their products completely. Many of the leading brands that children love come from Israel. But this money will help the Israeli government.
But I am dissatisfied with war and aggression. So of course there needs to be a ban on Israeli products. This is just our little help to save Gaza,’ said nine-year-old Asher Imtiaz
“We have no other means to oppose Israeli atrocities. So this is just our little help for Gaza. By banning American-Israeli products like this, it is only a small contribution to help its people,’ Nikhat Rehman said.
But reports suggest that the Modi government in India is not cooperating with the pro-Palestinian protests, but rather with pro-Israel actions.
“The first thing is to protest here is a big struggle. Here you will have to face the police and authorities. Recently, students of Aligra Muslim University staged a Palestinian solidarity protest. But the police registered an FIR once morest four people,’ said activist Sarjeel Usmani.
