Australia’s 2SER: Up to 11 Australian Trade Unions and Regional Trade Councils Boycott "Israel"

Local Editor

The international campaign for Boycott has been working hard to rally Australian organizations to boycott "Israel". The campaign's publicity has been increasing especially after the Zionist deadly attack against aid carrying Freedom Flotilla.

"The international campaign for Boycott, Sanctions and Divestment against "Israel" is starting to gain leverage in Australia, especially since the recent killings of nine Turkish solidarity activists," Sydney's 2SER radio station reported on Tuesday.

The station revealed that "since the May 31 attack on the flotilla of peace activists who were attempting to break the siege of Gaza and deliver humanitarian aid, several more trade unions and regional trade councils have signed up to the boycott campaign."

It noted that "the Construction Forestry Mining and Energy Union (CFMEU) was the first Australian trade union to join the international boycott of "Israel", even before the attack on the flotilla. Now, the number increased as eleven Australian trade unions and regional trade councils have joined the boycott."
