A Dagestani blogger filmed himself stomping on chocolate bars in a store and urged people not to buy them, as the manufacturers are directly or indirectly sponsoring the genocide in Palestine. Commenters on Telegram considered this behavior inappropriate.

A Dagestani blogger entered a store and wreaked havoc, throwing and crushing chocolate bars with his foot.

In a 45-second video published on the Telegram channel "KAIF Dagestan / News of Dagestan, Makhachkala," an auto blogger from Makhachkala expressed outrage at people buying chocolate bars from popular brands like Snickers, Mars, Bounty, Twix, and others for Ramadan giveaways. He called all the chocolates on display obscene words and urged viewers not to buy them "at least during this holy month of Ramadan."

The blogger also throws the chocolates on the floor and crushes them with his feet. "The producers of this <...> directly or indirectly support the genocide in Palestine. By buying this <...>, you become complicit in the genocide in Palestine. By buying this <...> for your children, you forget about those children in Gaza. At least during the month of Ramadan, do not buy this <...>," the blogger stated.

At the end of the video, he, addressing the camera, declared: "Those who sell this, and those who buy it - you will answer to the Almighty on Judgment Day."

As of 3:00 AM Moscow time, this publication had garnered 61 clown emojis, 11 thumbs-up emojis, five hearts, and three "Okay" emojis, as well as 155 comments, mostly critical.

"He himself, upon exiting "I paid for everything," Ruslan jokes. "First and foremost, it's food," he reminded.

"That's how fasting affects a person: hungry and angry, he hates food," jokes SaidA. "A normal, righteous person wouldn't trample on food," says Sulamith Tar. "He can only fight with chocolate bars. Why aren't you on the front lines in Palestine?" Lost asks. "He gave himself permission to ruin and litter someone else's goods in a strange place," noted user 1.

"Is he filming on a cell phone with EU and US technology? He has electronics, a car, and a bunch of other stuff at home <...>. Hypocrite. I wonder if his relatives or friends live in the EU or US and pay taxes," commented "Michelin 5* Star Inspector" on the video.

"He could have presented it more carefully, instead of trampling the food underfoot. All those with understanding would understand that instead of lecturing someone, they should have started with themselves," wrote an anonymous commenter. "The constant use of the word <...> (where it's perfectly appropriate to use it once) is alarming," noted Igor. "I hope he paid for this idiocy and was banned from that store," Elena commented.

"The author of the video is right. You're sponsoring genocide, hypocrites," an unnamed commenter supported the blogger.

As a reminder, Ramadan began in Dagestan on February 19, and in Chechnya, Ingushetia, Kabardino-Balkaria, and Karachay-Cherkessia on February 18. Before Ramadan, prices for meat and eggs rose sharply in Makhachkala. Retailers said the price increase was forced.

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Muslim lunar calendar, a month of fasting (as-sawm), spiritual and moral cleansing, and strengthening of faith and will. During Ramadan, Muslims must abstain from food and drink during daylight hours. Eid al-Fitr is the holiday of breaking the fast after a month of fasting.
