British unions back Israel boycott
The British Trade Union Congress (TUC) unanimously voted at its annual conference in Brighton to support the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel, in protest against ongoing violations in Gaza and the processes of colonization and Palestinian displacement in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. This decision comes in response to the war crimes and genocide committed by Israel and reflects the growing international solidarity with the Palestinian cause, especially since the outbreak of the war on Gaza in October 2023. This support is symbolic yet binding for the union, and it is worth noting that the initiative was introduced by the Artists' Union in England and received backing from one of the largest trade unions, which has around 1.3 million members, amid rising international calls to boycott Israel.
