The Muslim holy month of Ramadan is here, and anti-Israel organizations are using it for their campaign against Israeli products, urging Muslims to boycott dates grown in the Jewish state. The fruit is considered an important component in breaking the daily fast, and the consumption of dates rises significantly in the Arab and Muslim world this month.
Calls to boycott the Israeli fruit came from pro-Palestinian organizations in Europe and received a stage in Arab and Iranian media. The Friends of al-Aqsa organization in Britain published an announcement urging Muslims in Europe not to buy dates grown in Israel.

Banning Israeli dates will be no problem for TROP. They always have some goats for company..
Too dumb to have ever imagined a thing called “repackaging”.

“Remember, if the box has Arabic script, it must be Halal!™”
Israel should stop selling food to the mohammedans, see how long it takes before some mohammedan spokeshole starts screaming about “The Jews!” trying to starve the slaves of the “holey profit”.

Sins have consequences.
Boycott Israeli dates? What? How about boycotting the murdering of innocent people, How about boycott sexually assaulting anything with a pulse, particularly little boys and girls before they reach puberty. How about boycotting your insane honor killings. How about boycotting the killing of anyone who doesn’t believe in your godless moon god. Muslims have got to be the most evil beings satan ever concieved.
But how can they tell whether the sheep are Israeli or Arab?
“But how can they tell whether the sheep are Israeli or Arab?”
The Israeli sheep are the ones with virgin wool.
Another example of Muslim “tolerance,” huh?
I would encourage Israelis to dip their bullets in pigs blood if they are ever attacked by any...ANY...Islamic state or entity in the future.
I did not know Israeli’s dated Palisimians.
