Anti-war group seeks boycott of Israeli goods

THE Israeli bombardment of Lebanon and Palestine continues unabated, and it appears that more than 1,000 people have already died. Of these, the vast majority are civilians, men, women and many children.

It is important that voices are raised internationally against this slaughter. Here in Ireland we need to be clear in our condemnation of Israeli belligerence, but Anti-War Ireland believes we must move beyond simple condemnation.

In particular, we believe trade unionists and labour activists should not be afraid to act in solidarity with those under attack.
