Here are some of the companies this site is boycotting for being friendly to Israel:

AOL Time Warner

Apax Partners & Co Ltd

Coca-Cola

Danone

Delta Galil

Disney

Estée Lauder

IBM

Johnson & Johnson

Kimberly-Clark

Lewis Trust Group Ltd

L'Oreal

Marks & Spencer

Nestle

News Corporation

Nokia

Revlon

Sara Lee

Selfridges

The Limited Inc

Home Depot

Intel

Starbucks

Timberland

.

Here is a description of why they boycott one of these companies:

From 1966 onward Coca-Cola has been a stauch supporter of Israel. Recently the Government of Israel Economic Mission honored Coca-Cola at the Israel Trade Award Dinner for its continued support of Israel for the last 30 years and for refusing ro abide by the Arab League boycott of Israel. [1]

[ In contrast Pepsi abided by the Arab League boycott of Israel which ended in May 1991

Recently Coca-Cola teamed up with "Friends of Israel" and National Hillel to cosponser a lecture given by the infamous zionist correspondent Linda Gradstein at the University of Minnesota.[

I hope supporters of Israel will conciously decide to do business with these companies that are being boycotted.

Finally on Monday 22 April, around 2:30pm our website was closed down, our right to express our view was trampled on - we were silenced.

[ I say Good Riddance! ]

Our host company explained that they had received threats and were tipped off by "a reliable source in the industry" against an imminent attack on their servers. They reasoned that if their servers were attacked they stood a good chance of going out of business overnight. They have 25 employees to support as well as their other clients websites to protect. They said that the decision to pull our site was not an easy one for them as they believe in the ethos of free speech on the internet. They explained that even their bandwidth provider had been threatened and that they had to send a formal email to them confirming that our site was no longer available.

[ Ha! I'll bet they just didn't like losing the dough from Saudia Arabia. ]

Currently we are still off-line, but inshallah within the next few days we should be operational once again.

Our message to the zionist thugs out there is that your tactics of terror will not succeed either in Palestine or in cyberspace. If our site is closed down again, we will simply re-open else where with added vigour. We will not submit to your oppression, to do so would be to deny our faith and our belief in Allah.

Gee, it's just peachy for them to romanticize for a five year old to immolate themselves in stupid homicidal terrorism, but a good old fashioned hacker attack that we are all used to has them rattled. Tsk' Tsk' no sense of perspective.
