Trade Union and Other Boycotts of Israel in Great Britain and Ireland
[Institute for Global Jewish Affairs] Ronnie Fraser - The United Kingdom more than any other country in the world has embraced the Palestinian call for academic, trade union, media, medical, architectural, and cultural boycotts of Israel. The driving force for this campaign is Britain's trade union movement and its anti-Zionist activists, such as the Socialist Workers Party. The Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) actively works for a general boycott of Israeli goods as well as a cultural and sports boycott of Israel. All the major UK trade unions are affiliated to the PSC and several actively promote PSC policies and literature.
