Transcript

00:00:00.000 Here's the clauses, yeah?
00:00:01.320 The first one, the applicant does not boycott Israel
00:00:04.100 and will not boycott Israel during the terms of this agreement.
00:00:10.700 Imagine living for decades under an open-air prison
00:00:13.860 where everything you do is controlled
00:00:15.840 from what you eat to what you drink.
00:00:17.920 Brothers and sisters, please donate
00:00:19.320 as we have come together with one ummah
00:00:20.740 to get the necessary aid needed to Palestine and Gaza.
00:00:24.500 Keep them in your du'as.
00:00:25.820 But specifically, brothers and sisters,
00:00:27.060 give from what you love.
00:00:28.640 Inshallah.
00:00:29.260 And love for your brothers and sisters
00:00:30.280 what you love for yourself.
00:00:31.540 Donate now, Inshallah, wherever you can
00:00:32.920 and allow us to reach that aid
00:00:34.080 with one ummah to our brothers and sisters in Palestine.
00:00:37.440 One day, Palestine will be free.
00:00:39.600 Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh
00:00:40.940 brothers and sisters and dear friends.
00:00:42.160 Hope you guys are well, Inshallah.
00:00:43.480 The video we're going to react to today
00:00:44.840 might surprise you.
00:00:46.280 Yes, it actually might surprise you
00:00:47.640 because it surprised Hijab.
00:00:49.120 Actually surprised Hijab as well.
00:00:50.380 They were like, no way.
00:00:51.720 And that's why Hijab said usually when he's shocked.
00:00:53.260 No way.
00:00:54.020 And that's exactly the fact, brothers and sisters.
00:00:55.860 Did you guys know that in America
00:00:58.600 there was a hurricane that hit the country
00:01:00.940 a couple of years ago?
00:01:01.980 Yeah?
00:01:02.520 And basically, there were individuals who are in need
00:01:04.880 because they need to rebuild their houses.
00:01:06.320 They need to rebuild their lives.
00:01:07.520 Yeah.
00:01:07.700 But only under one clause.
00:01:09.860 One condition only.
00:01:10.940 Go ahead.
00:01:11.300 Let's watch for ourselves.
00:01:11.880 If your Texas house was destroyed by Hurricane Harvey,
00:01:15.700 you can get emergency funds
00:01:17.440 unless you support the boycott of Israel.
00:01:20.180 I'm not joking.
00:01:21.580 21 U.S. states have passed similar laws
00:01:24.140 which ban state funds going to people or businesses
00:01:27.180 who choose to boycott Israel,
00:01:29.600 a country which a recent U.N. report
00:01:31.980 has labeled an apartheid regime.
00:01:34.820 And now, survivors in Dixon, Texas,
00:01:37.520 filing for emergency funds,
00:01:39.120 have to sign a contract stating
00:01:41.340 the applicant does not boycott Israel
00:01:43.700 and will not boycott Israel
00:01:45.280 during the term of this agreement.
00:01:47.220 The state government is plainly telling its citizens
00:01:50.340 that either they get to keep their right to boycott
00:01:52.860 or they can get help rebuilding their homes.
00:01:55.700 What kind of choice is that?
00:01:57.600 Here's a clause, yeah?
00:01:58.880 The first one.
00:01:59.900 The applicant does not boycott Israel
00:02:01.660 and will not boycott Israel
00:02:03.680 during the terms of this agreement.
00:02:06.220 Bro, just think about that for a second.
00:02:08.060 This is actually a crime of thought.
00:02:11.100 It's what you think.
00:02:12.520 You are being told that if you decide to choose
00:02:15.060 to not buy a product,
00:02:16.980 you will not be helped.
00:02:18.080 So it's either your livelihood,
00:02:19.500 your house,
00:02:20.400 rebuilding your family,
00:02:21.840 or boycotting Israel.
00:02:24.280 And I'm shocked.
00:02:26.020 This is coming from a country
00:02:27.040 that is run by democracy,
00:02:28.860 you know,
00:02:29.540 and liberalism for that matter.
00:02:31.440 And for the fact that they're doing this, bro,
00:02:33.780 I mean, what does that show you?
00:02:34.940 Because to me,
00:02:35.740 I'll be honest,
00:02:36.240 it just shows me how weak and fragile Israel is.
00:02:40.200 That's exactly right, bro.
00:02:41.500 I mean,
00:02:41.760 for them to be so insecure
00:02:43.320 that they need to arrange these kinds of deals, bro,
00:02:46.620 and in the heart of America as well,
00:02:48.820 where they pride themselves on constitutional rights
00:02:51.620 and freedom of speech
00:02:52.580 and freedom of expression,
00:02:54.100 this might not be technically against the constitution,
00:02:58.060 but it's in spirit definitely against the constitution.
00:03:00.980 It's strong-arming these individuals
00:03:02.520 to try and do this.
00:03:03.140 But it shows you where the weakness is.
00:03:05.360 They're exposing where the weakness is.
00:03:08.160 And for us as activists,
00:03:10.180 so people that are trying to push this kind of cause,
00:03:14.840 then we know that boycotting companies like Puma,
00:03:18.600 like Siemens,
00:03:19.840 like IB,
00:03:20.520 is IBS, right?
00:03:23.980 IBM, sorry.
00:03:24.740 IBM, yeah.
00:03:25.220 IBM.
00:03:28.160 Starbucks,
00:03:28.960 Starbucks as well.
00:03:29.660 McDonald's.
00:03:30.320 McDonald's.
00:03:31.140 The list goes on,
00:03:32.260 and even like Jordan Valley days.
00:03:33.780 All these McDonald's are empty now.
00:03:35.760 Yeah, yeah.
00:03:36.360 In Malaysia,
00:03:38.320 Starbucks have been literally reducing hours.
00:03:41.040 The boycott is working,
00:03:42.600 and I think that's the reason why they're scared.
00:03:44.180 I mean,
00:03:44.440 for them to put that in a clause.
00:03:46.020 When it comes to finances,
00:03:46.840 it's a big hit.
00:03:50.040 It's a big hit,
00:03:50.640 and we've seen that.
00:03:51.420 A couple of years ago,
00:03:52.520 we'd done a little campaign,
00:03:53.500 went to Tesco,
00:03:54.380 and people were boycotting Coca-Cola,
00:03:56.220 and it was really hitting them, bro.
00:03:58.140 It was really hitting them.
00:03:58.540 And do you think it's going to come to the UK
00:04:00.620 where we're going to be actually told
00:04:01.820 that you cannot,
00:04:03.000 I mean,
00:04:03.500 what's it going to be next?
00:04:04.400 You can't get funding for this,
00:04:06.220 or you can't apply for that
00:04:07.640 if you boycott Israel?
00:04:09.560 They have been actually trying to push
00:04:11.160 a legislation in the United Kingdom.
00:04:12.680 Which is?
00:04:13.040 Because when Boris Johnson was in charge,
00:04:15.980 they tried to put a legislation,
00:04:17.920 I don't know what,
00:04:18.760 that basically says that local councils
00:04:20.900 cannot boycott Israel.
00:04:23.600 Local councils cannot do it.
00:04:24.460 You can't make that up, bro.
00:04:25.660 Like, you cannot, you cannot.
00:04:26.560 I don't know to what extent
00:04:27.520 that's actually gone through now,
00:04:28.760 but I think they're trying to get to a stage
00:04:30.820 where it becomes illegal
00:04:32.680 in the United Kingdom
00:04:33.360 for boycotts to happen.
00:04:34.740 I mean,
00:04:35.100 what does that say about their values?
00:04:37.280 I mean,
00:04:37.400 what happened to freedom of speech,
00:04:38.340 freedom of thought?
00:04:39.040 It's become a crime.
00:04:40.320 Great expression.
00:04:41.360 Yeah.
00:04:42.220 I mean,
00:04:42.460 absolutely, bro.
00:04:43.280 Exactly.
00:04:43.780 And I think...
00:04:44.180 Where I decide to put my money
00:04:45.380 and where I decide to go to eat,
00:04:46.840 to have a coffee.
00:04:47.900 Exactly.
00:04:48.320 It's my decision,
00:04:49.140 shouldn't it be?
00:04:49.580 Exactly, exactly.
00:04:50.300 I have to try and influence you
00:04:51.160 to do the same thing.
00:04:52.240 Exactly.
00:04:53.040 It should be my freedom of expression
00:04:54.720 to tell you,
00:04:55.460 look,
00:04:55.940 this is a good place to go.
00:04:57.100 We have reviews.
00:04:58.460 Yeah.
00:04:58.960 We have review system.
00:05:00.040 We have ratings.
00:05:01.760 We have smile to Jannah
00:05:02.860 and smile to dining
00:05:04.100 and also halal dining.
00:05:06.040 Remember,
00:05:06.280 you used to go to the restaurants
00:05:07.400 and dine to Jannah.
00:05:09.320 You know,
00:05:09.680 which is effectively what?
00:05:10.980 It's people saying
00:05:12.700 that we don't like this place
00:05:13.640 for this reason.
00:05:14.440 Exactly.
00:05:14.980 If we can say on Google
00:05:17.400 or wherever it may be
00:05:19.000 that we don't like this place
00:05:19.960 because of its quality of food
00:05:21.800 or quality of service,
00:05:23.200 surely we should be able to say
00:05:24.200 that we don't like
00:05:24.760 this particular institution
00:05:26.200 or this business
00:05:26.740 because of who it's funding
00:05:28.400 or who it's endorsing.
00:05:30.700 Exactly, man.
00:05:31.300 It's unbelievable.
00:05:32.380 I mean,
00:05:32.700 if you want to know
00:05:33.720 who's in power,
00:05:34.420 brothers and sisters,
00:05:35.020 just look at who you cannot criticise.
00:05:36.600 It's very simple
00:05:37.320 and clear for that matter
00:05:38.160 and it's very simple.
00:05:39.820 Carry on the boycotting.
00:05:41.140 It is your right
00:05:41.820 and the blood of your brothers
00:05:43.120 and sisters are in these products.
00:05:44.720 Jordan Valley specifically,
00:05:45.820 a lot of Muslim shops
00:05:46.800 or licenses supermarkets
00:05:48.340 are selling this
00:05:49.120 under the disguise
00:05:50.360 and so much so,
00:05:51.500 I think Zeeshan
00:05:51.920 by accident
00:05:52.480 actually bought those dates
00:05:53.420 and I was like,
00:05:53.880 bro,
00:05:54.720 he ran back out.
00:05:55.700 He ran back out, bro.
00:05:56.420 The guy ran back out.
00:05:57.420 He was shocked.
00:05:58.600 He was like,
00:05:59.000 how did I...
00:05:59.680 I was surprised
00:06:00.060 at the speed of the guy
00:06:01.820 when he ran out of the house.
00:06:04.000 As if he forgot his son outside.
00:06:06.700 Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
00:06:07.920 I've seen him run
00:06:08.980 a couple of times like that before
00:06:10.100 but the point is what?
00:06:11.340 If he can fall for it...
00:06:12.740 Exactly, yeah.
00:06:13.580 Tactical Retreat.
00:06:14.860 So the point is this guy's...
00:06:16.240 Carry on.
00:06:18.000 Tactical Retreat.
00:06:18.540 Yeah, yeah.
00:06:18.940 For them,
00:06:19.260 it's not Tactical Retreat.
00:06:20.000 It's a post-itanimous retreat.
00:06:22.780 Brothers and sisters,
00:06:23.580 carry on boycotting,
00:06:24.300 inshallah.
00:06:24.640 It does make a massive impact
00:06:26.280 and they cannot stop us,
00:06:27.620 inshallah.
00:06:28.280 And carry on doing that,
00:06:29.200 inshallah,
00:06:29.580 brothers and sisters.
00:06:30.160 May Allah bless you guys.
00:06:31.380 And yes,
00:06:31.920 not only boycott their products,
00:06:33.480 brothers and sisters,
00:06:34.180 but it is incumbent upon us
00:06:35.900 to boycott our sins as well,
00:06:37.600 inshallah.
00:06:38.580 So that's what I'm going to say
00:06:39.820 till next time
00:06:40.520 from me and Muhammad Ijab.
00:06:41.740 Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
00:06:43.340 Do not forget to check
00:06:44.040 his recent videos out
00:06:44.920 on his channel, inshallah.
00:06:46.040 We are doing an amazing work
00:06:47.180 with Zishan.
00:06:48.260 Ali, that was recent videos
00:06:49.320 which relate to boycotts as well.
00:06:50.800 All of us,
00:06:51.280 all of us, alhamdulillah.
00:06:51.740 Some of the fringe elements
00:06:52.640 of our umma
00:06:53.160 that have attempted to try
00:06:55.100 and say that this is haram.
00:06:56.120 Yes, yes.
00:06:56.580 Which is absolutely ridiculous,
00:06:57.780 unbelievable thing.
00:06:58.600 The true colors have come out
00:06:59.360 of many people.
00:07:00.240 I think this issue at hand
00:07:01.560 just showed you,
00:07:02.540 brothers and sisters,
00:07:03.080 that some people,
00:07:05.120 that's what I'm going to say,
00:07:06.180 inshallah.
00:07:06.540 Money over morals.
00:07:07.760 Literally, literally.
00:07:08.540 They are consistent,
00:07:10.700 what is it?
00:07:12.080 Strategically consistent.
00:07:12.620 Consistent, not morally.
00:07:14.040 Financially consistent.
00:07:15.620 Exactly.
00:07:16.520 Financially consistent,
00:07:17.420 not morally, subhanallah.
00:07:18.540 Till next time,
00:07:19.360 assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
00:07:21.020 Imagine living for decades
00:07:25.700 under an open air prison
00:07:27.100 where everything you do
00:07:28.560 is controlled
00:07:29.080 from what you eat
00:07:29.920 to what you drink.
00:07:31.160 Brothers and sisters,
00:07:31.920 please donate
00:07:32.560 as we have come together
00:07:33.380 with one umma
00:07:33.960 to get the necessary aid
00:07:35.600 needed to Palestine and Gaza.
00:07:37.740 Keep them in your du'as.
00:07:39.060 But specifically,
00:07:39.640 brothers and sisters,
00:07:40.300 give from what you love.
00:07:41.880 InshaAllah.
00:07:42.500 And love for your brothers
00:07:43.140 and sisters
00:07:43.520 what you love for yourself.
00:07:44.800 Donate now, inshaAllah,
00:07:45.600 wherever you can
00:07:46.160 and allow us to reach that aid
00:07:47.340 with one umma
00:07:48.320 to our brothers and sisters
00:07:49.540 in Palestine.
00:07:50.080 One day,
00:07:51.120 Palestine will be free.
