So you really want to boycott Israel products. How about some facts and figures with citations instead of the usual pretty pictures an info graphs? If you cant read or cant comprehend statistics, then its okay, you can just ignore this. First of all, although its not officially recognized, there is an Israeli-Malaysian economic trade going on. However, Figures released by Israels Central Bureau of Statistics showed that trade between Israel and Malaysia in 2008–2011 fluctuated considerably. In 2008, Israeli exports to Malaysia came to $30.2 million while Israel imported goods worth $100.6 million. In 2009, Israel exported $116.8 million-worth of goods to Malaysia and imported goods worth $68.5 million. In 2010, Israels exports to Malaysia grew to $798 million and imports grew to $85 million. 2011 saw Israel export goods to Malaysia worth $716.4 million and import goods worth $93.6 million. A report compiled by the European Commission indicated that in 2010 Malaysia ranked 15th among Israels major trade partners, accounting for 0.8% (€667.6 million) of Israels trade in that year.

Between 2000 and 2001, exports to Malaysia from Israels Intel computer chip factory in Kiryat Gat were responsible for US$600–700 million.

Trade data collated by the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization suggests that much of Israel’s burgeoning palm oil imports are in fact re-sales of Malaysian produce (Malaysia produces 51% and exports 62% of the world’s palm oil).

In fact, theres travel groups that offers packages to visit the country. Groups like Oscar Holidays Malaysia, World Discovery Travel Malaysia and Ace Altair Travels Malaysia.

Stop voting the current government, turn off your Intel computers and burn them with palm oil, perhaps?
