SUFFERING: A boycott would demonstrate to the Palestinian people that the rest of the world cared, FBU president Mick Shaw said
TUC reports 2009
Campaigners have hailed a “landmark decision” at the TUC after Congress voted to support a boycott of goods from “illegal” Israeli settlements along with a call for an end to arms sales to the country.
Congress also condemned Israeli trade union federation Histadrut’s statement supporting Israel’s war on Gaza – which killed 1,450 Palestinians in three weeks – and called for a review of the TUC’s relationship with Histadrut.
