The Palestinian dates are not even kosher!

and look at this... the Palestinian issue is one thing, but it turns out the dates are not even kosher!

The latest Rabbanut kashrut newsletter has an item about these Palestinian Majhoul dates bearing a forged kashrut symbol.



While I am not sure why dates would need a hechsher to be considered kosher, one could at least say they are not under the supervision of Rav Efrati's organization.

      But one needs the supervision exactly for that - to make sure it's really grown by a non-Jew, and not that's he's the middleman.

    Yes - they need to be certified as being nochri, etc.

      It seems they are under R" Efrati's hashgacha ,but not under the Rabbanut .
