National Education Union reaffirms support for Palestine Solidarity Campaign and Stop the War

THE National Education Union (NEU) reaffirmed its support for the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) and Stop the War Coalition at its annual conference today.

Delegates passed a motion calling on the executive to encourage districts to affiliate to the PSC and support its campaigning to defend the right to pursue boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) tactics.

They agreed that Israel “is guilty of apartheid policies under international law” and the government’s funding cut to the UN relief agency in Gaza, UNRWA is “unjustifiable.”

NEU executive member and local committee member of her local PSC branch Mairead Canavan urged delegates to back the BDS movement by not eating at McDonald’s, Burger King, KFC, Pizza Hut, Starbucks, Pret, drinking Coca-Cola, 7-Up or Sprite, buying AXA insurance, banking at Barclays or buying Puma sporting products.
