Most ethical?

The Telegraph report that Sainsbury's are selling what may be described as "the most ethical product ever". It's an extra-virgin olive oil that is "organic" (fair enough, I only buy organic olive oil), "Fairtrade" (reasonable enough, I do buy some Fairtrade chocolates) and "sourced from farmers in Palestine" (hold on why is that so "ethical"?).

  1. Because they don't process the olive oil to make rocket fuel to power missiles to attack Israel?

  2. What do you think some of the money they make from selling the olive oil is spent on? My point is that the equation seems to be Palestinian = ethical and I disagree.
