RESEARCH FINDINGS :
McDonald's
is the largest and best-known global food service retailer
with more than 30,000 restaurants in 121 countries.[8]
McDonalds
chairman and CEO Jack M. Greenberg is an honorary director
of the American-Israel Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Inc., of
Metropolitan Chicago.[9]
According to the Chicago Jewish Community Online (website of the Jewish United Fund
of Metropolitan Chicago), McDonalds Corporation whose
global headquarters is based just outside Chicago is a major
corporate partner of the Jewish United Fund and Jewish Federation.[1].
Through its Israel Commission, the Jewish United Fund
"works to maintain American military, economic and
diplomatic support for Israel; monitors and, when
necessary, responds to media coverage of Israel"[2].
The Jewish United Fund
runs "Fun-filled Summer Family Missions to Israel" (the
next one is on Aug 19 2002) where families get to "visit
an army base and meet with Israeli soldiers" and "visit
our sister city, Kiryat Gat and see the important work we
are doing there"[3]. Kiryat Gat, you may be aware from
the Boycott Intel Campaign,
is built on stolen Palestinian land - the lands of the
villages of Iraq Al Manshiya and Al-Faluja whose
residents were ethnically cleansed in 1949 in
contravention of International Law[6]. Through its "Partnership
to Israel" programme, the Jewish United Fund provides
$1.3 million annually[5] to help the development of Kiryat
Gat and to promote further illegal settlement there.
In the Jewish United Funds
outreach program they pay for Christian leaders and
American high school kids to visit Israel and be fed
zionist lies.[4]
McDonalds entered the Israeli market
in 1993 and now has 80 resturants across Israel,
providing employment to some 3000 Israelis.[7]

ADDITIONAL INFO & REFs :

(website of the Jewish United Fund of Metropolitan Chicago)
http://www.juf.org/cent/partners.asp
After
the successful take up of the boycott around the world,
companies are for the first time shy to show their support
for the zionist state. As a result this page which lists
the corporate partners was quickly taken off..
Luckily we managed saved a copy (below).
Notice
that the partners list is split in to three tiers.
Presumably the largest contributors are in the first tier
with their names in a large type. Mcdonald's is third on this
tier with Sara Lee fourth. Other partners include several newspapers, banks and finance companies.

THE ISRAEL CONNECTION
The
Jewish United Fund/Jewish Federation of Metropolitan
Chicago maintain strong ties to Israel in a variety of ways.
The Partnership 2000 Program forges
business, professional, and personal links; Israel
Experience Programs for teens and young adults
provide education and enrichment opportunities; and
JUF Missions offer families, singles, and others a wide
variety of travel options; the Israel Commission of the Jewish
Community Relations Council of the Jewish United Fund
enables the organized Jewish community to maintain
its interest in Israel-related issues.

THE ISRAEL COMMISSION
"The
Israel Commission serves as a forum for the organized
Jewish community to promote understanding of Israel and Middle
East developments, most recently including those
connected with the peace process; works to maintain
American military, economic and diplomatic support
for Israel; monitors and, when necessary, responds
to media coverage of Israel; plays a leadership
role in organizing and planning the annual community-wide
Yom Ha'Atzmaut celebration; and helps promote Israeli cultural
events in the metropolitan area."

McDonald's
Israel opened its first restaurant in October
1993, in Ramat-Gan (a suburb of Tel Aviv). Today, McDonald's
Israel operates more than 80 restaurants across Israel.
McDonald's Israel Benefits the Israeli Economy
McDonald's
Israel proudly sources over 80% of its ingredients
locally, including 100% kosher beef patties, potatoes, lettuce,
buns, and milkshake mix. McDonald's Israel employs 3000
Israelis.
It should be noted, in its favour, that when in 1999 an international campaign forced Burger King
to withdraw its name from a restaurant that had
been built in the illegal Israeli settlement of
Maale Adumim, the general manager of McDonald's
Israel, Omri Padan, said that he will never open a
branch on the occupied territories.

Then you must stop using blogspot, and the rest of social network as well.
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of other things that can be done. Donate, be kind and all the small things around you, sure it wont help Gaza issue at the moment, but be a smart muslim. All this "boycotting" wont really help solving the real problem. It just make us Muslim looks stupid.
Especially right now, you are using blogspot, and you seem to own a facebook account. Do you know Mark Zuckerberg is a former Jew? So his family is still Jewish.
That is what the problem with all of us today. We seem to pick things is not significant in our life and and "boycott" it. What about the rest of things that you own? Can you "boycott" those? Are you willing to delete your facebook account to prove your point?
So please be a smart muslim.
FYI , I am muslim as well.
well Facebook is one of the medium that can be use to share what is happening.. and about blogspot.. it is a free service so what is the problem same with facebook. Different from McD where we have to pay for it although there is much better choice for us. If you comment not as Anonymous maybe i can write more but i think it is waste of time to argue this with you.. All this boycotting is all about yourself. It is depends to what we can do and what we can't do.
