Thanks MPAC - i'll print this off and see if I can get my local mosque and shops to diplay it.

While googling for "MPAC" and "Israeli dates" to see what reaction to the campaign I came across an article about the poster on Little Green Footballs.

If you notice carefully the Palestinian boy has peed himself. Obviously its stress at his arrest. However, LGF has the photo that preceded his arrest and the boy was throwing stones at the IDF.

This doesn't minimise that he was arrested but it does place the reason for his arrest in context.

Check it out yourself.

How incredibly stupid! If your organisation really cared about the "Palestinian" people you would certainly not call or support boycotts that threaten their very livelihoods. The majority of Palestinians in Israel would be absolutely devastated by such a measure.

When most people at this time in Israel and Palestine are focusing on working towards peaceful solutions, organisations such as yourselves are constantly working to undermine any peaceful strategy.

This is pure madness!

Unfortunately (or should I say fortunately) your post shows how incredibly stupid YOU are. That or you are another hapless victim of the Israeli propaganda machine. Either way it doesn't reflect well on you.

This boycott does not affect Palestinians IN israel. There is no such thing. There are Arab Israeli and Palestinians in the occupied territories.

Israeli dates are mostly farmed in the occupied lands. Jordan River and other settlements in the west bank. Granted Palestinian farmers do work there, but they are treated like slaves, and the only reason they work there is because the illegal settlements are annexing their farmland, turning Palestinians farmers into slaves. As soon as these settlements are removed, Palestinian slaves (something you are comfortable with) can then become the farmers they always were.

Here is a recent article in the guardian detailing this annexation

Please, think twice before you post next time. I'm sure you don't mean to demonstrate your ignorance so unashamedly.

It's funny when Zionists try to post on Muslim websites. They usually get found out.

How comes the Palestinians themselves are calling for a boycott of Israel then?

Has anyone noticed the flash player above contains some videos that appears to be take the opposite view to boycotting Israeli products? Has someone hacked the mapacuk.org web page attempting counteract the boycotts with the additional videos?
