UK trade union backs total boycott of Israel

Jun 21, 2007 at 05:57 PM

The UK's largest trade union, UNISON, advocated on Wednesday a total boycott of Israel over its continued occupation of Palestinian territories.

In addition, delegates called on the British government to press for an arms embargo against Israel.
