Britain’s Biggest Journalists’ Union Calls for Boycott of Israeli Goods

International Herald Tribune - British journalists call for boycott of Israeli goods

Britain's biggest journalists' union, The National Union of Journalists, has criticized Israel's "military adventures" and has voted narrowly in favor of a boycott of Israeli goods. The vote followed calls by some British academics last year to ostracize their Israeli counterparts.

At the annual delegates meeting of the journalists' union last Friday, a vote calling for "a boycott of Israeli goods similar to those boycotts in the struggles against apartheid in South Africa" was approved 66 to 54.

The delegates also urged Britain and the United Nations to impose sanctions on Israel.
