IPSC targets Dead Sea Products in Jervis Shopping Centre![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() As part of the international campaign of boycott against Israel, the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign today launched an action against Dead Sea Products, an Israeli cosmetics firm which has a stall in Jervis Centre in Dublin. Activists from the IPSC wearing ‘Boycott Israel’ t-shirts surrounded the Dead Sea Products stall on the top floor in Jervis Street shopping centre, handing out leaflets and asking people not to buy products from an apartheid country such as Israel. At the behest of the Dead Sea company, Security soon arrived and demanded that the peaceful demonstrators leave. The management of the shopping centre which had previously refused to reply to our correspondence, still refused to talk to us about this serious issue. After a prolonged discussion with the security guards, the IPSC activists marched out and leafleted all the exits to the Jervis Street centre, receiving a great response from passers-by. As one shopper commented: “I didn’t know about these people were here. I think it’s an absolute disgrace. I remember the boycott of South Africa, and I don’t know if I’m going to keep doing my shopping in Jervis if this company remains here.”
