These Israeli jaffa oranges came thru China. They were found at a market. Needless to say, the Iranian regime is NOT happy.
They look delicious
I hope all the oranges were injected with pig’s blood.
or swine flu
better yet!
JOoozzze.
this reminds me of a story a relative told me. In the 70s, the Shah instituted a school breakfast/lunch program for the indigent.
Being a good man, he wanted the best products given to the kids. So when the local yahoos learned Israeli fruits (oranges in particular) were being given to the kids, the Shah was forced to cancel the program.

If these are really Israeli oranges their taste is beyond delicious. I ate one in Israel and it was a whole meal along with sesame bread.
Obviously, this is a provocation justifying a jihad and a bunch of fatwas.

We get Iranian pistachios in Israel. The government is equally unhappy.
When I visited the Middle East I got to try oranges in Italy, Egypt and Israel. The Italian oranges were the same as what we grew in Florida, the Egyptian oranges were brown and a bit spicy, while the Israeli oranges were gold, the size of grapefruits, and very good, even by the standards of somebody who lived in an orange-growing area for forty years.
‘Israeli oranges’ faked in China
A twist has emerged in the story of Israeli citrus fruit reportedly sold in Iran in defiance of a ban on commercial dealings between the two enemy states.
It has now been revealed the fruit, a type of orange-grapefruit hybrid marketed as Jaffa Sweetie, were not Israeli in the first place.
The Sweeties were brought to Iran from China, where faking the origin of goods is a common practice.
