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.

A few people asked us yesterday on why we were picketing and leafletting outside Tescos - and what was wrong with Israeli potatoes. Check the article below by Clare. Further details on the debate in Westminster can be found in
