And it's not just the customers who are scammed, corruption and waste ensures the extra money never gets to the peasant farmers down the end of the supply chain. It mainly end up in the bank accounts of mercuiral regimes to buy weapons and live opulent lifestyles (where have we seen that before?) I urge Ynetnews readers to avoid ALL "Fairtrade" products like a three week old kipper.

Do tell us on what you base your assumptions upon ?????

We are being asked to support poor muslims when they receive plenty of aid from UNRWA. Why are they poor? That is the billion dollar question. I do not care how nice their products are, I will never buy them or any muslim product. Start a store with Jewish products made by poor Jewish women, and I will support it 100%. Do not ask me to turn a blind eye and treat poor Jews the same as poor muslims. It will never happen.

its not only muslims or christian or for that matter jews, its woman that are trying to better them selves working not begging or stealing give them a chance ,carry on bulding your walls with religion but please tell me where its written in the torah how to be so hate ful so i can remind myself whay im not religious

How can they use the words "fair trade" when it relates only to women ? And does not allow the male gender to participate or benefit. What if a organisation opened a similar but for men only. Im sure the feminist movement would be outside protesting and burning their bras !

I brought from my country some pieces of bisutery for sale. I will like to get more information. Thank you and shalom

Can I please get from you an e-mail address of the organization citated in your article (Published: 05.22.09, 15:57 by Meirav Crystal) ? Thank you in advance.
