I won't buy any fruit or vegetables from these morons. Let it all rot in their fields.
Tell all your friends to look at the produce they buy and if it has a label on it or on the box stating that it comes from chile or peru, DON'T BUY IT. The stores don't want their produce to rot so if everyone tells them that they're not going to buy produce from these moronic countries, the stores won't buy them either.

Forget avoiding fruit, the wine is big business.
Stop buying Chilean wines and announce it.
I assume Jewish firms import them but still, I refuse to send my Jewish money there.

buh bye!!! I will try very hard not to buy produce from these countries. Rambam says that one should not eat things that are not part of the local growth, so we will eat our local peaches, nectarines, tomatoes, grapes, blueberries and strawberries ( for those who eat them) cucumbers etc. Whatever we can eat from locals is what we should do. Stay away from anything that comes from south of the border. Time to listen to Rambam
