Thanks so much @restabove. What a good idea!

Beautiful, thank you.

Thanks for this!

MAP - Medical Aid for Palestinians - is an excellent charity.

@MaatSeshat Good point! Donations always a good idea in situations like this.

I did see some local Palestinian goods in my local healthfood shop (Zaytoun) and bought some the other day, so people may be able to get them locally if they can't get them online, if not all sold out yet.

Thank you for suggesting, here is a link to the website for anyone who wants to donate https://www.map.org.uk/

Absolutely love this idea, thanks OP. Not Christmas related but there are many Palestinian artists who I'm keen to support. I'll come back later with some names.

Thank you, please post any links here, least we can do I think

It isn't Christmas, and I know techno isn't everybody's cup of tea, but here's a link to my favourite Palestinian DJ's page. Biography — Sama' Abdulhadi (samaabdulhadi.com)

Zaytoun products are really good quality and make nice gifts.

The Olive oil is incredible, and the dead sea bath salts are lovely too.

I've just bought some of the bath salts and soaps

Thank you for sharing, love a bit of Techno! :)

Thank you what a lovely idea!

Thank you very much

The Zeytoun candied almonds are amazing

I am so glad to hear this as I bought some the other day for an Xmas hamper I am putting together for my family :)

@MaatSeshat why was your post deleted? If I remember right you were talking about out of stock Palestinian products because of the war?

@Ohlalalalala MN's message said they were a previously banned poster :(

The Zaytoun products - dates, olive oil, nuts - are also available on the Oxfam online shop and some larger stores will have them too.

Great football jerseys and hoodies.
Quality is excellent and proportion of profits (minimum 20%) go to supporting Palestinian families and projects

Can anyone recommend any specific books on the conflict that are helpful for understanding? There are lots on Amazon but if anyone has recommendations that would be nice!

Oh just read the message 😔
She's been really informative and very polite from what I've seen. I'm wondering why she was banned.
