American Muslims for Palestine, BDS, BDS is antisemitic, BDSFail, boycott, CAIR, Inminds, Mejdool dates, Ramadan
This year there are anti-Israel date campaigns from CAIR, American Muslims for Palestine, Inminds and many other Muslim organizations.
Let's see how effective these campaigns have been.
In 2008, when these campaigns began, Israel was the fourth-largest exporter of dates in the world, behind Tunisia, the UAE and Saudi Arabia. It had exports of 19 million kilograms with a value of some $50 million.
By 2021, Israel was the top exporter of dates worldwide, exporting nearly 120 million kilograms with a value of $332 million! It maintained that position in 2022.
While Israel does not export as many dates as some other countries, the dollar value is much higher - because the popular Mejdool dates are more expensive and Israel dominates that market.
Here are some charts of the top date exporters in recent years from another source:
It seems that Israel's date industry - which is now Israel's second biggest export crop after citrus - has thrived under the Muslim boycott of Israeli dates.
This is not just a BDS fail - it is a BDS nakba!
For Israeli date growers, it definitely is a Ramadan Mubarak!
