This Ramadhan , DON'T break your fast with Israeli Dates
Most of us break our fast with dates, but do you know where it was actually produced? Imagine we break our fasts with dates that were the produce of Illegal Israeli settlements built on land stolen from Palestinians? Israeli produced Medjoul dates are grown in the Jordan Valley within Illegal Israeli settlements. They form a large part of the agriculture from these settlements and they are exported all over the world. Purchasing these dates means that you are actually helping Israeli settlements to continue to exist.
Your local supermarkets also stock these dates with their own packaging such as
- Sainsburys
- Tescos
- Waitrose
- Marks & Spencers
So please avoid buying dates from them unless you are 100% sure!
Watch the following video trailers from the Friends of Al Aqsa.
Here is a comprehensive list of names to watch out for, if they are labelled as the produce of any of these:
- ISRAEL
- WESTBANK
- JORDAN VALLEY
- Carmel Agrexco,
- Jordan Plains,
- Hadiklaim,
- King Solomon Dates,
- Jordon River

Hospital treats anybody the same way and make no distinction between people,what you are saying is stupid and iresponsible.
If i understand his or her message,let's let Children and patient (muslim or else) die because of that idiotic proposal.
Remember:
Who kills a man kills the universe,who saves a man saves the universe!
I work in a hospital,my duty is to help and support people in their pain.
Shame on you and your thought on that religious day.
