Khairy Jamaluddin's Umno Youth vs Pro-Israeli Companies.
Fresh from a run-in with the Malaysian police and the U.S. Secret Service, an energised Khairy Jamaluddin swiftly took steps to impose an 'indirect consumer boycott' on pro-Israeli companies. He is doing this by spearheading the Umno Youth which he said will release a list of brands and international companies with operations in Malaysia that are known to be supporting the Israeli regime financially. He said that the move was to inform the public of the brands and companies so that they could either boycott or remain as their clients.
Ever the realist, KJ said that the movement did not want to launch a boycott campaign as it had been ineffective in the past. "I will suggest that we distribute a list of the companies which are clear Israeli supporters according to their profits so that we are aware of who are helping Israel," he said.
He said the people should be informed of these companies so that they could use their right as consumers whether they wanted to continue using their products. He said if there was truth to the claim, the people must be told so they could make their own assessment whether they wanted to continue supporting the company which has a chain of shops in the country.
Khairy also said Umno Youth would continue with its protest against the Israeli atrocities by holding demonstrations throughout the country. He said it was important for Malaysians to continue voicing their protest against Israeli aggression on Palestine and Lebanon.
Khairy and Perak Umno Youth chief Zainol Fadzi Paharudin later led some 500 of the movement's members to hold a demonstration near the seminar venue to condemn Israel.
So apparently Khairy has decided to hitch his near political future with the Israel issue. At least now he will surely get a bit more positive press instead of the daily dose of 'KJ hate-mail' he's probably used to. That he is firmly in control of the Umno Youth movement now, is no more in doubt.
Post Script: The whereabouts of Umno Youth Chief Hishamuddin and his comments and opinion on the demonstration at KLCC as well as the latest developments in the movement are not known.

The bugger is more moronic than I thought!
Doesn't he know that we need the Americans more than they need us ?
If there is a total trade sanctions by both countries , then the Malaysian economy will be crippled but the US economy will not even be scratched !
We should start boycotting KJ firm - ECM Libra - they are in bed with the the Jews of US - checkout www.jeffooi.com!
That must be a BIG spit into the sky!
