That's a great offer.
Morrisons is some distance away so before I set off....
Does anyone know whether they are from Israel or from the land stolen from the Palestinians? If so I won't bother

a bit hypocritical, Israel treats only people of one religion and others especially muslim Palestinians like SB human, and for your information ISIS, or ISIL has got nothing to do with Islam or Saudi Arabia for that matter. Same way the IRA do not represent Christianity. stop trolling.

why boycott israel? happy to buy dates from israel. prefer that to saudi dates. Israel has democracy where everyone is equal,saudi arabia have virtually no human rights and dont tolerate any religion but islam. and force their women to be completely covered. Which society would you want to be part of?

Much rather they come from there than from ISIS-Land where they abuse women, stone you, behead you or hack off your limbs for trivial misdemeanours.

Don't think it'll be from the stolen land.

I find most of morrisons good offers to be fake advertising stunts where they have very limited stock to draw you into the store . Lets see!

Dunno what Morrisons you shop in but I have found most special offers from Morrisons have bucket loads of them in stock.
Are you sure you are not confusing Morrisons with Morriston in Swansea where any real life is out of stock?

With a name like "Al- Medina", this will be Saudi. Are they unsweetened?? I hate those dates covered in sticky glucose. Why even both eating dates if they covered in sugar??

That's probably the stickiness from the dates itself! I have no experience but just a theory!

Dates don't just grow in Ramadan. It's not like a Christmas turkey.

No, Iranian dates are always unsweetened. They have a smooth dry velvety skin and do not stick together. There is no sticky disgusting glucose syrup covering them. They are delicious.

In NI religion and politics get mixed up. Very bad to mix the two. Best just be secular.

I'm not defending any abusive countries where human rights are violated, but Israel is nothing less and especially how it treats the Palestinians whilst occupying their land and lives... I boycott Israel for a number of reasons and do NOT buy Israeli products knowingly and where possibly...
Heat left OP.

Firstly, you need to update your facts. Israel doesn't exist, its stolen land. Saudi Arabia doesn't force their women to cover completely. it seems you need to do some research. Its their free will to wear these clothes, and its their choice. Some women don't wear anything, you say its their right and when they want to cover their body, you call it they are forced. whats this double standard. Also, some practices of Saudi Arabia, you can't understand, you should do some research before you compare a terrorist nation Israhell and a country with strict rules. compare statistics of theft, rapes,and other crime from Saudi Arabia and other countries. I pray that God increase u in guidance and make u understand between the truth and falsehood

Rofl. Do your research. Women cannot dress in their manner of choosing in Saudi Arabia. Women are not allowed to drive there. They've only just been given the right to vote. Your text hereHomosexuality is punishable by death, as is making a decision to convert from Islam. How is that freedom? As opposed to Israel?

You say Saudi females can wear what they wish? Quote from the Economist......"Saudi Arabia is one of the only Muslim-majority countries that legally imposes a dress code (Iran is another). Women, foreign and local, must wear an abaya (a few get away with long coats) in public places" and "today it is enforced by the religious police and zealous volunteers", wouldn't say that gives Saudi females the right to wear anything.
I agree that there will be less crime in Saudi but because the punishment is so severe , that's hardly unexpected is it? Don't wish to argue over loads of points on this but there is no real democracy in Saudi Arabia and people seem to ignore countries which give their countrymen little freedom for the sole reason of their oil supply/wealth.

boycott Israel because they stole Palestinian land and kill innocent defenseless Palestinians day in day out. there is no equality when Israeli soldiers kill defenceless children in cold blood and then have the audacity to post celebratory pics online of their 'prey'. there are cristians in Saudi and women are not oppressed. please do not speak on behalf of Muslim women when you are not one. Israelis are evil scum of the earth. I'd rather eat **** than Israeli goods. and so should every other human being.

'please do not speak on behalf of muslim women when you are not one'. I never said i was ,but i can have an opinion on a matter as you do on israel and its soldiers. It doesnt mean you have to be part of a religion/sex/country to comment on it. If israeli soldiers commit crimes they should be punished for them,but it isnt all one way with palestinians attacking israelis and launching rocket attacks against them. Saudi only allows islam to be openly practised ,christianity is forbidden except in houses. no symbols of any other religion are even allowed to be worn. contrast that with a western country which allows open and free worship of all religions.

Women are not oppressed in Saudi? Western wonen can 1) drive cars with no restrictions
2) travel wherever they want to without needing permission from their male 'guardian'
3) vote for whichever political party they want to
4) dress as they please
5) have a career and be on equal standing with men in the workplace
6) choose to worship whichever god they choose, or none at all.
None of these rights/liberties are available to Saudi women and you say they are not oppressed?

No Ray I am not being abusive. But you should perhaps reread what you have written and then reflect on the concepts of reason, balance and propriety. It's a post about dates on a consumer forum. You have chosen to go off on a rant. Additionally you have done so in an unreasonable manner. Finally what you state is not fact and nor is it balanced. To the occupied population, Israel is perhaps not quite the Democracy one envisions when one conjures up the word staring up at the ceiling, sat in chilly Bromsgrove, on a cold December night. And your choice of country as a yardstick to salvage Israel, i.e. Saudi Arabia is nonsense. It's like "oh I prefer to buy heroine off him cos at least he is nice to his Mum". Both regimes are part of a problem that is continually causing strife in the region and beyond. They both murder and carry out illegal actions that would disturb most reasonable people.
Now perhaps you may be minded to start a course of adult education. In Britain we have a decent set-up at reasonable prices and times to suit your lifestyle, around which you can build your course of self study. This will perhaps assist you in understanding the world around you, how it works, how it is changing and the whys and wherefores around many contemporary subjects. You can then enhance this by increasing your social circle and travelling a little more. This will surely improve the quality and nature of your posts on such forums in future. Cheers.

your first quote to me was ......Ray thanks for dumbing down the tone -, and then you put to 'nmarshgiddings' ....how very incisive of you.
Both of those replies are arrogant and condescending.
You say I go off on a rant about Israel, the simple reason is people on hukd want to ban anything Israel sells but overlook other countries which have questionable practices like Saudi e.t.c..
You then decide to waffle on about me getting an education and travelling. Don't worry about me , I've done both. You though would do well to take up a course on manners as you have none.
