In order to secure a peaceful arrangement in the Middle East, trade unionist has decided to boycott Israeli goods. A report on Palestine and Israel assembled by the senior members who visited the troubled area has been published by the Irish Congress of Trade Unions (ICTU).
The massive deaths caused by the Israeli military attacks on Gaza have led the trade union to take such a drastic decision. The trade union representatives met Israeli politicians and trade unionist and Hamas leaders. They were shocked at the condition of the Palestinians. Basic human rights were denied to the people. Discrimination was evidently prevalent all over. Unemployment has risen to almost 80%.
The ICTU delegates requested the Hamas politician to end the rocket attacks on Israel. They were deeply moved by the conditions of people in Palestine and have felt an urge of pushing for international action. They have already had a talk with the US and the UK.
