Alert! Blood Dates: Muslim Shop Supports Israel! Print E-mail
Monday, 01 October 2007

actionalert.jpg A Muslim sister writes in desperately seeking help:

“In a nutshell Sabar Brothers in Slough are selling Israeli dates - last time I got screamed at when I complained. When MPACUK helped with an Action Alert the shop-owners were abusive to others who called in and then went to the Jewish Chronicle to defend themselves.

This year they are selling big boxes of Israeli Carmel dates for £9.99 each also Jordan River dates (which they have purposely labeled Jordan River dates on a piece of cardboard to mislead people to think they come from Jordan) - even though I looked closely and I saw a little sticker that said 'product of Israel' in French on the box.

Since last year Sabar bros has had a large extension, a roof built for the covered market, and they have put in four flat screens which usually blast Bollywood songs but this month only ARY QTV is playing. They make enough money and stock loads of Tunisian, Iranian, Saudi dates there is no need for them to stock Israeli dates! I won’t shop there anymore unless they stop supporting Israel, but it needs other Muslims to tell them the same.”

Last Wednesday Israel killed 11 Palestinians in 9 hours following its targeting of Gaza as ``hostile territory,'' setting the stage for plans to cut off electricity to the 1.4 million residents of Gaza. How can any Muslim say ‘Bismillah’ as they break their fast with Israeli dates that help support this?

Don’t be silent in the face of oppression – please phone them now and tell them you will boycott their shop unless they stop selling Israeli produce:

REMEMBER: Check whether your local shops are selling Israeli dates (Boycott all product of Israel - including Carmel, King Solomon and Jordan River dates). Ask your local shops to support the boycott. You can download and print off a leaflet here: http://www.mpacuk.org/content/view/4034/34/

how dare they shout at the sister when she did nothing wrong?

Those damn hypocrites, firstly they shouldn't be stocking israeli dates in the first place, but to say you won't stock them (publicly may I add) and then still continue selling them, is just wrong.

Have they learnt nothing from Ramadhan. I'm going to ring them at 9am (maybe even 9pm :p) to give them a peace of my mind! Thanks for flagging this up mpac.

i hope and pray Allah blesses this man by bankrupting his business.

then maybe he can spend more time praying to Allah for forgiveness rather then worship at the idol of the money god.

Thanks for the update. I`ll tell all my friends about the store who dares to defy the Anti Jewish bigots and will ask them to shop at Sabar Brothers too.

Their Israeli dates, by the way are delicious.

It's a free country and they can sell what they want.
Over here I don't buy any Islamic dates so haven't had any for years.
In Jordan a 'moderate' islamic state there is ONE womens refuge.
Shouldn't you be worrying about that instead of lousy dates??

You are publishing that persons shop which will start a illegal hate crime.

I'd rethink that if I was you.

These are good dates. They may be grown by Palestinians and marketed by an Israeli company. Try them. Commerce should bring us together, not drive us apart.

yes it is a free country and people can sell what they like and im not sure if I would support a boycott of Israeli goods but i think it is very wrong of this shop to mislabel these dates so as to mislead people in their buying choice. Israel as a nation deserves to be reprimanded for its disgusting behaviour, and if consumers wish to do that through their purchasing power, fair play to them.

I was doing my travia and my tahujada and will ask for Allah to curse Sabar bros for the unethical buying. To sell dates grown on stolen land, to sell dates watered with stolen water, and fetilised with the blood of Palestine, I hope Allah rewards Sabra bros with their children spitting on their faces, and competition that drives them bankrupt. Ameen.

You have to feel a little sorry for Mr Sabar of Slough .He orders 150 boxes of morally dodgy dates and he ends up with a Fatwah on his head.

"Honest Guv I was just trying to earn a crust .My English is not too good .Why can't they print these labels in Urdu.Anyway it was my nephew Tariqs fault.He is a wholesaler and told me they were from Tunisia."

Before you conduct a witch hunt against Uncle Sabar ,here are a few interesting statistics.

Computers

Windows operating systems including XP were developed and licensed by Microsoft Israel tm.in Israel.

The Pentium MMX Chip technology was developed and is manufactured by Intel in Israel.

AOL messenger -Israel

Fibre optics R and D Israel.

Anybody out there prepared to throw out their computer?

Mobile Phones

Motorola ,Sony Ericcson ,Nokia developed in partnership in Israel.

T Mobile,Orange,Vodophone,British Telecom Billing systems subcontracted to Israeli company with offices in 115 countries including {through a nominee]Saudi Arabia.

Anyone prepared to withhold their direct debits for their phones ?No i thought not.

How about your underwear - 80 %bought from high street stores made by Israeli companies and manufactured in Jordan and Egypt.

Medical

Anybody needed an MRI scan?

Forget it -technology developed and patented in Israel.Just call a fortune teller next time.

Remember that family wedding in Islamabad last summer?

Hate to tell you but commercial airliner GPS systems developed in.......

Take the boat next time.

Israels economy 2006 £100 billion and you seriously think £50,000 worth of dates are going to make a difference.So tell me you have to start somewhere lol

If you cant walk the walk etc etc

Israel is an illegal entity even if the US supports it with 'name-building' contracts and WMDs. The Zionist boycott works, else they wouldn't have crawled out of the woodwork to splash their propaganda on this site.

Israel is a sovreign Nation and member of The UN. Therefore it is legal.

The Palestinians, on the other hand, are NOT a recognised state and have no such legal rights ascribed by recognised Statehood or Nationhood.

That isn't a suprise if you compare the relative newness of the Palestinians as an entity that strives for World recognition.

And yet the Palestinians get more aid money per capita than any other people on Earth.

How do you measure the boycott working? You aren't even implementing a boycott until you give up computers, drugs and mobile phones.

A few dates? Peh! Its a pish in the ocean! (to quote a friend of mine)
