The Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign will hold its monthly protest in support of the Israeli boycott on Saturday 25th April, at 1.00pm in Daunt's Square, Cork.

For more than 60 years, Western governments have allowed Israel to deprive the Palestinians of their rights, contrary to International Law and United Nations resolutions.

Given the inaction of our governments, it is up to us, ordinary people, to use our purchasing power in order to impose the necessary pressure on Israel.

1. We must boycott Israeli products.

2. We must demand that Irish companies stop investing in Israel.

3. Using the boycott to demonstrate our will, we must force our government to demand that the EU and the UN impose sanctions on Israel.

Until there is justice for the Palestinians, our watchwords must be,

Boycott-Divestment-Sanctions.

Israeli fruit, vegetables and fresh herbs carry the brand names Carmel and Jaffa.

Israeli plastic DIY and garden products are made by a company called Keter.

Boycott all these products.
