The National Union of Journalists has voted at its annual meeting for a boycott of Israeli goods as part of a protest against last year’s war in Lebanon.

Today’s vote was carried 66 to 54 - a result that met with gasps and a small amount of applause from the union delegates present…

The motion called for the end of Israeli aggression in Gaza and other occupied territories.

The union’s national executive committee has been instructed to support organisations including the Palestinian Solidarity Campaign, Jews for Justice in Palestine and the Council for the Advancement of Arab-British Understanding.
