Kashmiris boycott Israeli dates in Ramadan in solidarity with Palestinians
Srinagar: In a show of solidarity with the oppressed Palestinians, Kashmiri shopkeepers have boycotted Israeli dates during Ramadan.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the move is a protest against Israel’s occupation and oppression of Palestinians.
Instead, Kashmiri shopkeepers are opting for dates from Saudi Arabia, Iran, Morocco and Algeria. The boycott has resonated widely across the Kashmir valley and Muslim dominated Jammu areas with shopkeepers and customers alike supporting the cause.
