TUC support for Palestine provokes predictable backlash

Iraq war apologist and professional iconoclast Nick Cohen fulminates in the Jewish Chronicle against the near unanimous decision of last month’s TUC Congress to call for an end to NATO bombing in Libya and for the TUC to review relations with Histadrut, the Israeli union federation:

The Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) provides a more objective account of the TUC decision including a comment by Hugh Lanning of PCS that 'British trade unions have decided not to buy into the Israeli occupation - not to buy goods from firms or work with organisations complicit with Israel's illegal occupation, settlements and wall. Israel must be made to honour international law. The UN, Obama and the EU should be making Palestine a reality not blocking their freedom.'

The PCS report also includes a link to the full text of the Congress motion:
