Jamat-e-Islami urges Muslims to boycott Israeli dates

Hyderabad: President Jamat-e-Islami Telangana Mr Hamed Mohammed Khan appealed Muslims to boycott Israeli products especially Israeli dates to record their protest against oppression and atrocities against Palestinians in Gaza. He said Israel, under the patronage of US, has restarted atrocities against Palestinians. More than 60 Palestinians were killed by Israeli firing and thousands were injured.

Mr Khan said the main culprit is the US which has shifted its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. He said despite protest by Islamic countries and the Arab world, the wrongheadedness of US is condemnable. He further said that the meeting of Security Council of United Nations also failed to stop the oppression of Palestinians by Israel.

Mr Hamed Mohammed Khan said Jamat-e-Islami Hind has formally passed a resolution to boycott Israeli products. Israeli dates have come into the Indian market on the occasion of Ramadan. He urged Muslim traders not to sell Israeli dates as the profit earned by selling Israeli products is used against Palestinians.
