National - Event Notice Thursday January 01 1970 IPSC Branches take part on International Boycott Weekend (Day 2)![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This weekend (July 9-11) is International Boycott Sanctions & Divestment (BDS) Weekend against Israel. Here in Ireland, to mark the occasion, the IPSC (Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign) are launching a nationwide petition calling on Dunnes Stores to cease stocking Israeli goods in their stores. This petition and actions surrounding it are in support and solidarity with up to 200 organisations from within Palestinian civil society who have pleaded with the international community to endorse the call for a campaign of boycott, divestment and sanctions against Israel, similar to that which helped to end the apartheid regime in South Africa. These organisations include Palestinian trade unions, professional bodies such as all the academic unions and associations, medical unions, and most of the major NGOs. |

Everyone is most welcome, please come along.
at least partly as a result of people getting up off their arses and drawing attention to the general conditions of the population of Gaza. Of course these conditions are ideal for predatory shekel-shakers, and that suits Israel on many fronts, but it does not alter the deprivation imposed on the region by the hegemony of the US/EU oil sentry.Moryah wouldn't be the Yiddish for Myers by any chance?
