Purpose: This dataset was collected as part of a study investigating the Influence of Consumer Boycotts on USA/ISRAELI Brands amidst the Israel-Palestine Conflict: A Comparative Study of Global and Local Companies' Reaction Strategies. A well-structured questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale was used to collect data. Nature: The dataset consists of quantitative data collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire. It includes 419 respondents. The data is presented in Excel format.

Shared suffering can bond groups together and motivate fighting and even dying for the group leading to vicious cycles of violence while the suffering of the outgroup is routinely overlooked. But could the power of shared suffering also be harnessed to reduce tensions? Here we present evidence that a speech appealing to suffering shared by both sides in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict delivered by a professional politician in December 2023 can foster identity fusion, trust and openness to friendship towards the outgroup – Palestinians or Israelis – in a sample of Muslim and Jewish Americans (n = 159). Effects partially persisted three days after exposure to the speech. In a follow-up study we found that the same speech also increased positive attitudes towards Israelis and Palestinians in a sample of the general US population (n = 361).

Abstract

Olive production is the backbone of the Palestinian agriculture. It contributes to the social and economic well-being of Palestinian households, especially in rural areas. Olive production and related activities are essential to the Palestinian people and economy; hence it must be taken into consideration in any developmental plans in Palestine.

Since the very beginning of its statistical activities, PCBS has focused on the sub-sector of olive production and started to conduct an annual survey of olive presses as early as 1995. This issue of the survey is done - for the fifth time - in cooperation with MoA.

This report presents data about the main indicators pertaining to the 2019 olive season. It is expected to provide data users and researchers with the necessary information for the development of economic policies that are vital at this critical stage for the Palestinian development.
