One of the easiest and most enjoyable ways of supporting the Palestinian people is buying Palestinian products, for yourself and for gifts. There are many places online to do that and we have a few featured here. Many of these products have been imported from Palestine and are available to order from sources in the US. Some are solidarity products, such as pins and T-shirts, that are produced outside of Palestine.

Palestine Portal does not seek to promote any vendor and these sources are provided simply for our visitors’ convenience. You may find other sources online that you prefer.

See ideas for selling Palestinian products at your church or in your community at our Palestine Fair Trade Market page, another great way to support the Palestinian economy, especially during the holiday season! Don’t forget to have at least one handout to give them: your fair can be an opportunity to educate shoppers about the wonderful people who produced these beautiful and delicious items. 

We would welcome suggestions of other sources for Palestinian products. Contact us at: [email protected].


Land of Canaan Foundation

Canaan Palestine is dedicated to artisan quality olive oil and other products. A social entrepreneurship firm, Canaan is based in Jenin, Palestine. Canaan sources agricultural food products from a network of 49 cooperatives organized in the Palestine Fair Trade Association with membership numbering more than 1,700 farm families. Canaan products are certified fair trade; most are USDA organic and can be found at specialty and organic shops across the USA and Europe. Canaan’s olives and olive oil are highly prized and valued for the wide impact they have on producers’ communities through fair trade practices.

Through a combination of extensive education and training, organic and fair trade certification, and community empowerment programs, Canaan Fair Trade, a Palestinian commercial enterprise, enables small farmers and women organized in village cooperatives to pool their resources and have direct access to long-term global market opportunities. Specifically the initiative creates economic stability for rural Palestinian communities caught in the midst of conflict by cultivating local and global partnerships that are invested in creating economically viable and environmentally sustainable farming in Palestine. Canaan combines traditional farming practices with cutting edge innovations in farming and production through research and development to enhance product yield and quality, resulting in premium products that are competitive in global markets. As a result small farmers and women are able to earn a living, maintain their relationship to their land, and provide a future for their children.

OUR FARMS. OUR FAMILIES.
OUR COMMUNITIES.
Canaan believes that Fair Trade is about much more than better pay, or decent working conditions. At its heart, Fair Trade is about connecting people across the Globe in a spirit of equity, trust and openness. Each of the thousands of families that are part of the project has a story to tell. Fair trade is meaningful to every family in so many different ways. Perhaps its most notable impact is in creating hope and transforming the lives of the remarkable growers and communities that we work with.

Canaan has embarked on a three year project to interview and photograph members of all the over 50 PFTA cooperatives, both farmer and women’s cooperatives, that we partner with.  Below are just a few of those profiles. We hope you enjoy meeting our farmers.  Check back often. We will be posting more farmers’ and women’s stories soon.

Pal Craftaid

Website: http://palcraftaid.org

Pal Craftaid’s mission is:
To bring compassion, hope and healing for all Palestinians.

In the fall of 1993, the Rev. Elizabeth Knott learned of the increased hardships for Palestinians. She started Pal Craftaid as a short term venture, importing Palestinian sculpted olive wood and sending the proceeds back to Palestine to help a few families survive economically and gain hope. What was conceived as a short term, stop-gap effort has extended to the current time.

Pal Craftaid now works with several groups of Palestinian artisans in the West Bank and Gaza, including:

Our fair-trade relationship with these and other vendors allows us to raise funds for a variety of health and education ministries such as:

The makings of Palbox
Palbox is about the best that Palestine has to offer. Palestine is known for some of the finest olive oil in the Middle East, some of it from trees more than a millennium old. Its wild gathered herbs have a mild but savory flavor that is unmatched elsewhere. It is home to some of the oldest soap factories in the world still producing olive oil soap of the kind brought back to Europe by the crusaders.

Palestine also has artists in music and the visual arts that speak to everyone who loves both traditional and popular culture and which can travel electronically to Palbox subscribers across the blockade imposed by Israeli authorities.

Palbox is most of all an act of solidarity with Palestinians. The proceeds from the sale of Palbox products go to the Northern California chapter of the International Solidarity Movement, which supports Palestinian nonviolent resistance against Israeli occupation, destruction and confiscation of Palestinian land and property and violation of Palestinian human rights.

Palbox is about world class Palestinian practitioners and teachers of Arabic calligraphy, from whom artist Katie Miranda learned her art while serving as a volunteer in the International Solidarity Movement, and which she reproduces for Palbox on sterling silver with semi-precious stones.

Palbox is a fundraising project of the International Solidarity Movement – Northern California, which is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit institution, EIN 20-5516191.

Launched in December 2003, Palestine Online Store is an activist project dedicated to making Palestine-related materials more widely available and to increasing public awareness of the necessity for peace and justice for the Palestinian people. While the project started out with a focus on informational resources such as books and DVDs, it has expanded to include apparel, jewelry, handcrafted items, and food products. Whenever possible, we source these materials directly from Palestine, providing economic support to local farmers, artists, and others who struggle against unprecedented challenges. Our goals are to increase awareness of and connection with Palestine and to benefit the artisans, farmers and other producers/suppliers who remain steadfast in the motherland.

Informational resources, such as books and documentary films, are highly effective in raising awareness about the situation in Occupied Palestine. We encourage you to consider lending these resources to your friends, neighbors, and local schools, to help educate the public about the Palestinian cause.

Initially launched in Seattle, Washington, Palestine Online Store is now based in Austin, Texas. We’ve received and fulfilled orders from customers on all six continents (the one exception: Antartica), and we are grateful to have achieved this global reach.

Resistance Art

Website: http://www.resistanceart.com/

PRODUCTS: Calendars, Books, Greeting Cards, Posters
Resistance Art is an initiative dedicated to celebrate the diversity and richness of Palestinian art and culture. It was founded in 2003, and is located in Toronto, Canada. The initiative was started as an individual effort, and it has been extremely rewarding on all levels. We connected with people all over the world who are concerned with art and cultural exchange; we started a dialogue with different groups to cooperate on a variety of Palestinian cultural projects; we helped expose the work of Palestinian artists to the World; and we raised some funds to support cultural organization in Palestine and the Diaspora.

Our Palestinian Art products currently include Wall Calendars, Posters, Books and Greeting Cards. We will be regularly introducing new items such as bookmarks, T-shirts, and a variety of Palestinian Art stationeries. We will continue to channel a percentage of the proceeds from all our current and future projects to Palestinian cultural organizations and to help support local artists.
