Dearest Bloggers,
I'm quite sure that many of us, if not all, are aware about the current situation in Gaza, Palestine. Today is the 12th day of the incursion by Israel against Palestine. The incursion has caused many deaths of the innocence lives of Palestinian.
If the attack is not stopped by the Israeli Government, I’m sure that more civilians will die as a result of the said incursion. Indeed, the brutal acts of Israel should be stopped immediately in order to prevent more deaths.
Some of us might not know that there is actually International Law which is aimed to regulate the conduct of the International Community. However, the International law is weak in terms of its enforcement. This is because the International law is lacking of effective enforcement machinery.
Even so, it has to be borne in mind that there is one body namely Security Council which has the power to enforce the International law amongst the International community.
The UN Charter confers the power to the Security Council to maintain the International law.
At this point, we may be happy to know that there is actually a body which is entrusted with such great responsibilities. Unfortunately, there are 5 big nations which have Veto Power to veto the decision made by the Security Council.
Further, the abstention and absence of these 5 States to vote would also amount to the so called “veto”. Hence, if the Security Council intends to pass a Resolution, the votes from these 5 big nations are needed. Or else, the Resolution will not be passed.
Looking at the present situation, country like Libya has proposed to the Security Council to pass Resolution to restrain further incursion by Israel.
However, the Resolution was vetoed by the United States. Due to this, the attack is still continuing up till today because the attempt made by the Security Council was failed by the United States.
So, as a conscious human being, what would you do in order to stop the United States from supporting the inhumane Israelis?
Apparently, we are not being capable of helping them there physically. The least that we can do is not to buy the products from the United States. To put it in a simple term, boycott.
The Government cannot really help on this due to the political reasons. However, the citizens can absolutely work this out. Some might argue that, if I myself were to boycott it alone, it won’t work. But I say, we can.
We have to unite, to go against the big nations who misused their powers. We have to try our best to boycott their products, and hopefully, that will turn their economy down.
At last, that will put pressure on them (the States) not to give further support to the Israel.
I Pray that the situation in Gaza will stop very soon. So that the peace will be brought back to Palestine. Do justice to them. They are human just like us. Have a sense of humanity, oh Israelis.

To those who fancy reading chic-lits, I would highly recommend you to read it. It’s an interesting novel to be read. Count on me for saying this. Haha.
But, I personally enjoy reading the book. I bought it at Kinokuniya, KLCC for the price of RM24.36. (price after I got 30% discount). So hurry up. Go to the nearest bookstores, and get your own copy. Hihi. 
P/s--> a movie based Sophie's novel, Confession of a Shopaholic would be out in cinema very soon. Don't forget to watch it ;) Spare your time for the movie.
