“Boycott your enemy” - Fatah reposts call to boycott imported Israeli goods worth $1 billion
The Fatah Movement – Bethlehem Branch posted a video and text on its Telegram channel. The video was produced by a Palestinian organization named PalGraph.
Man: "We purchase and import from the Israeli market chocolate for $80 million in 2022 alone. PalGraph group began to check and measure. The value of the goods that were imported from the Israeli market to the Palestinian market. The results are ominous. According to them [we spent] nearly $1 billion in imports from the Israeli market to the Palestinian market. Sadly enough, for most of these products there is a national [Palestinian] alternative… You go into a supermarket or mini-market and you see they put the [Israeli] ice cream – It's as if they honor it. They put the Israeli ice cream fridge at the front [of the store]. We bought [Israeli] ice cream for $9 million… We've gotten used to how at every outburst and aggression there is mobilization to boycott the Israeli goods and products. And after this aggression ends, we return to the old habits, the [Israeli] products return to the shelves. But today we don't want this! Today we must give up on the occupation's products [once and for all]."
