šÆ The Bitter Truth Behind Israeli Dates
Israel is one of the worldās biggest date exporters, raking in hundreds of millions of dollarsāmuch of it from land illegally occupied in the West Bank. These dates are often:
ā
Grown on stolen Palestinian land
ā
Watered with resources taken from Palestinian farmers
ā
Picked by underpaid, exploited Palestinian workers
75% of Medjool dates come from Israelāand during Ramadan, sales skyrocket by 57%. Israel counts on Muslims unknowingly funding their occupation. Letās break that cycle.
ā Brands to Avoid
Many Israeli date companies hide their origins or falsely label their products as āMade in Palestine.ā Donāt fall for it. Look out for these brands and avoid them:
šØ Hadiklaim (Jordan River, King Solomon, Tamara Barhi, Desert Diamond)
šØ Mehadrin (Premium Medjoul, Fancy Medjoul, Red Sea, Royal Treasure)
šØ MTex, Edom, Carmel Agrexco, Arava
Weāre keeping track of these brands in the Boycat app š²āscan the barcode before you buy!
ā How to Shop Ethically
Support verified Palestinian or ethical alternatives instead! Look for:
āļø Palestinian brands like Zaytoun & Yaffa
āļø Algerian, Tunisian, Emirati, or Californian dates
āļø Boxes clearly labeled "Grown in Palestine" (but always double-check!)
š„ Boycotts Work!
Thanks to global boycotts, Israeli date imports dropped from 25% of the U.S. market to just 12.9%āa huge loss for apartheid profiteers. Letās push that number to ZERO.
