![]() Today the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign began the "Boycott Israeli Potatoes" campaign with a picket outside Tesco in Rathmines, Dublin. This evening 10 activists from the IPSC staged a two hour picket outside Tesco in Rathmines. They distributed 500 leaflets informing consumers about the presence of Israeli spuds on Irish shelves and asked shoppers to consider boycotting these potatoes and other Israeli produce in an act of solidarity with the Palestinian people and as a method of exerting pressure on the Israeli State to end its human rights abuses in, and brutal occupation of, the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
