Civic Jihad against Israel and the USA: Ideas for Collective Arab Initiatives

This post should be read with "Principles of Civic Jihad".
 
For the Arab world to be ever capable of standing against Israel and the US administration, and to engage in a collective "civic Jihad" package of actions to resist the Israeli agression supported by the USA the following five collective actions should be done not by our corrupt and weak governments but by the Arab society and pan Arab institutions:
 
1- Establishment of a strong political lobby resembling the Zionist lobby in Europe and the USA. This Arab lobby should be supported with a lot of money, include a group of high-esteem politicians, experts, businessmen, etc who are very credible and patriotic. This lobby should be able to impact the decision-making process in the EU and USA and be as ruthless as the Israel lobby in defending the interests of the Arabs and responding with heavy retaliation against any attempts to spread lies and distorting the truth of the Arab-Israeli conflict.
2- Establishment of strong mass media outlets targeting people in the EU and USA in their own language and relevant way of thinking to resist the great influence of the zionist media especially in the USA.
3- Complete and comprehensive economic boycott of Israeli companies and products and each and every organization, company, individual celebrity who expresses support for Israeli agression in public in the USA or Europe.
4- Substituting all Arab bank accounts in Dollars with Euros and removing Arab investments in the USA and bringing it to Europe, Asia and Latin America.
5- Investing huge financial resources in innovation and  development in the Arab World especially in issues of science and technology and fighting poverty. Arab countries can never be able to stand against USA and Israel without well functioning economies.
 
You think this is a dream? it might be but without those five actions Arabs can never influence the way the world is ruled now. If we focus on such ideas it is better than all the unplanned wars, cheering for individual heros and stupid terrorist attacks by Al Qaeda that have rendered Arabs very vulnerable everywhere in the World.

Again, you are preaching to the choir, these things that you are talking about are well known to any one with very little basic education. The question is to [whom the bells toll] ? It is beginning to sound like two deaf people having vague discourse.

This in theory sounds nice. Personally I would put the last point first. If we are to become strong, we need to be able to rely on ourselves (which includes having a strong military). This cannot happen without massive investment in science and technology.

Lets try something more practical anyone on a personal level can do... this is very general and vague... it leads to nothing...

I suggest a simple solution, to establish a

حملة شعبية لممناهضة التطبيع

which can also include boycotting America. The results will be trivial and the government will break our bones, but the small action now will lead to a bigger results later. We can start small, we dont have to establish an AIPAC overnight.
