UK Labor Unions Approve Israeli Goods Boycott

The boycott, approved at the annual conference of the Trades Union Congress, calls for a ban on importing goods produced in some Israeli settlements, an end to arms trading with Israel, and divestment by from some companies.
Union officials said the boycott would target products including dates, herbs, fruit and vegetables grown in Israeli settlements in the West Bank.

“We will support a boycott of those goods and agricultural products that originate in illegal settlements through developing an effective, targeted consumer-led boycott campaign,” the TUC said in a statement.
Israel’s ambassador to the U.K., Ron Prosor, called the decision one-sided.

“The TUC’s leaders should hang their heads in shame at this reckless call for a boycott,” he said in a statement. “They have betrayed their own constituency by allowing the TUC to be hijacked as a political tool for extremists.”
