Background

IHRC is calling on all Muslims and people of conscience to boycott Israeli dates this Ramadan, to help spread awareness and to combat the sale of them in supermarkets.

 

Summary

One of the top exports of the Zionist entity is dates, which are so important to their economy that the government even subsidises their farms in order to keep them ahead of the competition. Whilst a strong campaign has urged Muslims to be careful to not buy dates labelled as being from there, the Zionists have gotten more devious in their methods, and attempts to hide the origin of these dates.

Some Israeli companies are labelling their dates as being from Palestine, whilst others avoid having the place of origin on the packaging at all, which is illegal under UK law. Whilst attempting to verify which companies are and aren’t selling Palestinian dates, IHRC and our allies from InMinds have identified three different companies that we can say without a doubt are selling genuine and ethically sourced Palestinian dates.
