This Shabbos, Gush had an aliyah-themed shabbaton for (obviously) the chutnikim. It was very inspirational. The main feature was various people who live in Alon Shvut (the evil Zionist settlement where Gush is located) speaking about how and why they made aliyah, and why there is absolutely no good reason not to move to Israel. The schedule also featured low-protein food and sleep deprivation, as well as a special unscheduled appearance by cats. (Reason #5201 to make aliyah: You absolutely love cats.)

If you have not yet made aliyah, there is still an excellent way in which you can support Israel. And that is: buying Israeli products. If you ever have the option to buy from an Israeli company, do so. Before you make a purchase, you can check if there is an Israeli company that makes what you need. For example, I believe Black & Decker is based in Israel. I know there are web sites that have lists of these kind of companies. There are also, for instance, Israeli-based websites where you can buy music CDs. A search for "buy Israeli products" should bring them up.

By buying from an Israeli company, you are not just supporting that company- you are putting money into the Israeli economy. Because if you buy an Elite candy bar, a good amount of that money will be spent again by Elite, either to buy raw materials, likely from an Israeli source, or to pay Elite employees, who will spend it again, in Israel.
