I don’t get it. Is it a Palestinian product making money for Palestinian people? Or is made by a bunch of settlers in the occupied territories? Or worse: by a bunch of Palestinians for a dirt wage for an Israeli boss?

Phil, your metaphor is too heavy with literalism. We have no clue what you wish us to understand, hear, do something about. God knows, most foodies never even think of the ME except in terms of food.
