This year we know that there is a good supply of fresh 2019 Medjoul harvest from importers/suppliers bringing product from trusted Palestinian sources. Be sure to source these.
Steps you can take
Step 1, check the label, and if it says product of Israel, do NOT buy.
Step 2, check the label and see if it includes a country of origin. The product should have a country of origin.  Do NOT buy if it does not have country of origin listed on the package.
There is at least one supplier in Canada, National Best Food/NBF which has imported from Hadiklaim, an Israeli company. Who Profits has clearly documented the source of Hadiklaim’s dates as coming settlements in occupied Palestine. Also, several countries have had victories of cutting ties to Hadiklaim such as South Africa.
