The Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign (IPSC) and the Trade Union Friends of Palestine (TUFP) would like to invite you to the launch of our integrated boycott strategy.

The IPSC and TUFP are working together to promote an effective boycott, divestment and sanctions strategy against the Israeli State. This involves a total academic, political, economic, cultural and sporting boycott to highlight the Israeli state’s immoral actions and force it to comply with international law.

The ‘Boycott - How and Why' meeting will be chaired by Philip O’Connor (IPSC). Our guest speakers will cover selected areas of the Boycott Strategy:

Jack O’Connor (SIPTU)
Michael Mulcahy (Fianna Fáil TD)
David Landy (TCD academic)
Shane Cullen (Artist & formerly ICAHD)
Brendan Archbold (Ex-Union Official) Anti-apartheid Dunnes Stores Strike

The event will be held at 6pm on Thursday 22nd January in Liberty Hall, Eden Quay, Dublin 1.

Our campaign needs your support and the support of your organisation. If you cannot attend please, pass on this invite to a colleague or interested party. Calls for an Israeli boycott are growing globally.

Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Prize 1984
“Yesterday’s South African township dwellers can tell you about today’s life in the Occupied Territories...... If apartheid ended, so can the occupation. But the moral force and international pressure will have to be just as determined. The current divestment effort is the first, though certainly not the only, necessary move in that direction.”
