press release
Thursday January 14, 2010 20:31 by Fintan Lane - IPSC media officer 087 1258325
On Saturday next IRELAND-PALESTINE SOLIDARITY CAMPAIGN Freda Hughes, spokesperson for the IPSC, said: "We are calling on Irish consumers to follow the example set during the struggle against apartheid in South Africa by boycotting Israeli produce and isolating Israel until it ends its oppression of the Palestinian people. Israel's system of apartheid is most starkly obvious in its building of the apartheid wall in the West Bank and in its sealing off of the Gaza Strip, turning the area into an enclosed reservation. The people of Gaza are suffering terribly as a result of the siege and one would have to be heartless to stand by and do nothing. Concerned people in Ireland can make their voices heard by boycotting Israeli goods and services. We are asking consumers to choose alternatives to Israeli produce - there are plenty out there. Don't put your money into the Israeli war economy." |

Jump To Comment: 1Unless the muscle of the US and its government can be turned around and Obama starts listening to his emissary George Mitchell and to a lesser degree Ms Clinton there will be no real change either in Gaza , the border crossings or any hope of Isreali compliance with International Justice and humanity.
Further back , there can be no real progress for the Palestinians until the Israel return to their LEGAL borders which they have violated every day since 1967.
The vacillation of Mr Netyenahu on a daily basis ;one day pandering to the Jewish ultra Orthodox, the next to the liberals is evidence not of an unwieldy persona at the helm of the Knesset , but a conniving one; one well conversant with the dark art of double speak.
The embargo on S African food stuffs succeeded because a group of workers stood up to an international apartheidal system.
Maybe it can happen for the Gazans , but the road for peace in the middle east , including in Iraq , Iran, Yemen , and further east in Afghanistan and Pakistan , is not through flowery prose in Cairo but through the via delarosa that is Jerusalem.
