Every date you buy has a story. Some are grown with love on Palestinian farms. Others? Stolen land, stolen water, and exploited labor. This Ramadan, make sure your iftar isn’t funding apartheid. 🚫🇮🇱

🍯 The Bitter Truth Behind Israeli Dates

Israel is one of the world’s biggest date exporters, raking in hundreds of millions of dollars—much of it from land illegally occupied in the West Bank. These dates are often:

✅ Grown on stolen Palestinian land
✅ Watered with resources taken from Palestinian farmers
✅ Picked by underpaid, exploited Palestinian workers

75% of Medjool dates come from Israel—and during Ramadan, sales skyrocket by 57%. Israel counts on Muslims unknowingly funding their occupation. Let’s break that cycle.

❌ Brands to Avoid

Many Israeli date companies hide their origins or falsely label their products as “Made in Palestine.” Don’t fall for it. Look out for these brands and avoid them:

🚨 Hadiklaim (Jordan River, King Solomon, Tamara Barhi, Desert Diamond)
🚨 Mehadrin (Premium Medjoul, Fancy Medjoul, Red Sea, Royal Treasure)
🚨 MTex, Edom, Carmel Agrexco, Arava

We’re keeping track of these brands in the Boycat app 📲—scan the barcode before you buy!

✅ How to Shop Ethically

Support verified Palestinian or ethical alternatives instead! Look for:

✔️ Palestinian brands like Zaytoun & Yaffa
✔️ Algerian, Tunisian, Emirati, or Californian dates
✔️ Boxes clearly labeled "Grown in Palestine" (but always double-check!)

💥 Boycotts Work!

Thanks to global boycotts, Israeli date imports dropped from 25% of the U.S. market to just 12.9%—a huge loss for apartheid profiteers. Let’s push that number to ZERO.
