I could see the Irish Palestine Solidarity Campaign trying to organise something like that in Ireland. It would be great if we could do something jointly with the other countries that are also boycotting. I see Zoe Lawlor sometimes - chair of the IPSC - so will sound her out.

Thanks for highlighting the Irish name!

Why was it ever named after someone who killed Palestinians? Totally bizarre that Martin and Harris are defending this. They must be under fierce pressure from the U.S. to override the wishes of their own electorate.

Herzog participated in Israeli terror organizations and commuted the sentences of Israeli terrorists who killed innocent Palestinians. This is conveniently missing from the one-sided reporting.
