Palestine Activist Caught Using iPhone 17: "It Was a Gift!" –

user posted image

Nur Hazwani Afiqah Helmi, the brave Global Sumud Flotilla hero and self-proclaimed Beatboxer Muslimah, risked it all sailing toward Gaza to stand against "Israeli complicity."

Yet, when spotted gleefully filming with the shiny new iPhone 17 at a glitzy awards night, suddenly the rules change. Her defense? "It was a gift—I didn't buy it with my own money."

Oh, brilliant! So boycotting Apple only applies if you're the one swiping the card?

By that logic, as long as boycotted products are gifted, received second-hand, or "found," they're halal for the cause. Feel free to chow down on McDonald's, sip Starbucks, or rock Nike—as long as someone else paid.

Hypocrisy level: expert.

Then comes the whataboutism classic: "Android funds Israel even more—up to 70%!" and "If local brands had better software, I'd switch."

Translation: Boycotts are great for shaming ordinary Malaysians, but when convenience calls (better camera, larger storage, seamless editing for her content creation), principles take a backseat. Why not pioneer the switch to Huawei, Oppo, Vivo, or Xiaomi right now? Oh wait—Huawei might get labeled "communist," as critics point out.

And if every alternative somehow "funds the enemy," then maybe just... don't use a smartphone at all? But that would cramp the style of posting pro-Palestine content, wouldn't it? This isn't about perfection—no one's expecting activists to live in caves.

But when you join high-profile humanitarian missions, protest Israel's allies, and fuel boycott calls that pressure everyday people (remember the iPhone 17 launch flashmob in TRX?), you invite scrutiny. When even flotilla members can't ditch the "Zionist-linked" tech, what's left for the rest of us? Selective solidarity at its finest.
