Irish traders unite to boycott Israeli products

   

Irish has become the first place in Ireland where businesses are collectively boycotting Israeli goods.

Retailers, cafés, restaurants and a pharmacy in Kinvara agreed this week to operate a boycott of Israeli goods in protest against the "ongoing bombardment" of Gaza.

"As far as I know this is the first town to do this. Maybe there are other towns that have done it and haven't told us but it is likely they would. We salute and congratulate the people of Kinvara for taking this stand for justice for Palestinians. We hope other towns and villages around the country will take a similar stand," said Kevin Squires, co-ordinator of the IPSC.
