In 2025, the Canadian BDS Coalition called for a boycott of Israeli dates.
Their post included advice on how to determine the source of any dates you might encounter, so you could make an informed decision.
We should clarify that “Mejdool” or “Mejdoul” is a variety of dates, and quite common. The name does not signify any particular region for cultivation.
Further, we encourage you to consider ordering your dates from a source like Palestine Just Trade.
