likely pisraeli source underneath, so can’t check it for veracity
(remember, even your potato might be settler-tato) (also one might place stickers with entity flag if one finds some produce of inappropriate origins in the store, as the flag is inoffensive by itself, it’s unlikely to be interpretable as a political act of any kind, but might help inattentive comrades)
There’s something poetic about how worthless their crops are after they’d destroyed olive trees that had been in the families of Palestinians for generations
Also, how many of the orchards are just stolen Palestinian orchards? Jaffa was known for it’s oranges well before israel came to be.
There’s actually some really interesting history. The first Jaffa orange exporters were descendants of the German Templars. In the beginnings of industrialization, Zionist and Palestinian growers developed different cultivation methods, with both being profitable. The methods favored by the Yishuv tended to be higher yielding but also higher input. Under the mandate, British authorities allowed in modern equipment for cultivation and processing for the Yishuv, but not for Arab land owners.
Their claims of being the “true indigenous” people of Palestine is such bullshit because if they were, they’d have connections to Palestinian olive orchards. Palestine was known for its olives going back to the Roman Empire. IIRC it’s mentioned a few times in the Old Testament as well.
So when these fucking Europeans show up and bulldoze these orchards, it’s proof they don’t belong there. It’d be like claiming you’re the true indigenous people of Hawaii, then ripping out all of the tropical fruit trees and replacing them with wheat and dairy farms.
