The Irish National Teachers’ Organisation (INTO) has endorsed the Boycott Divestment Sanctions (BDS) campaign, and expressed solidarity with the Palestinian people while adapting a resolution that “utterly condemns the ongoing genocide in Gaza”.

The motion debated at the primary school teachers’ union annual congress received strong support from delegates in attendance, with many highlighting the “catastrophic impact” of attacks on Palestinians, the destruction of schools and the targeting of educators.
