Boycott Israeli Dates this Ramadan, from Call 2 Action Now, 28/Feb/2024: (caption under images)
This Ramadan, donโt break your fast with an Israeli date. Stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people.
Israelโs genocidal assault on Palestinians in the Gaza Strip has now killed tens of thousands. Palestinians, facing down Israelโs catastrophic violence, call on us to boycott Israeli products in solidarity with their struggle for freedom.
Follow this quick guide to boycotting Israeli dates:
โข Always check the label when buying dates. Donโt buy dates that are produced or packaged in Israel or its West Bank settlements. If no country of origin can be found on the box, check the retailerโs website.
โข One of Israelโs largest exporters is called Hadiklaim. It sells dates in supermarkets under these names: King Solomon, Jordan River and Jordan River Bio-Top, as well as under the labels of supermarket chains. Check the box carefully, if the dates were โexported by Hadiklaimโ โ donโt buy them.
โข Avoid these companies: Mehadrin, MTex, Edom, Carmel Agrexco, and Arava
#checkthelabel is not enough. Israel has been caught labelling their dates as โproduce of Palestineโ. Tesco, Sainsburyโs, Waitrose, M&S, Morrison, Aldi, Lidl and Asda package Israeli dates under their own labels!
Buy dates from Zaytoun, Alard, Yaffa, and Holy Land Date all support Palestinian Farmers. If you cannot get hold of these brands then buy dates from Tunisia, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Pakistan, UAE and Algeria.
I'm weeks away from having to actually worry about it but I'm definitely going to run out of yarn

finally finished. not really "finally" because I did a good job of getting through my lingering wips at the end of last year and only working on one big project at a time. so all in all this was only on my needles for 4 weeks
I'm glad I've been getting into the habit of blocking my stuff now because anything with cables really needs it
