Norwegian TUC votes by overwhelming majority to boycott Israel
88% of delegates in union representing a fifth of Norway’s population support immediate boycott, divestment and embargo
On Saturday, the Norwegian Confederation of Trade Unions (LO) cast a historic and overwhelming vote for a comprehensive boycott of Israel, with a huge 88% of delegates voting in favour of the motion.
The boycott covers trade, investments, culture, sports and academic ties. The resolution demands:
a complete ban on trade and investment with Israeli companies and entities a boycott of cultural, sports and academic institutions in, or linked to, Israel immediate and complete divestment by Norway’s $1.8 trillion ‘Oil Fund’ from any company complicit in Israel’s occupation...
Apologies for using the shitsource newsweek but they have a purrty map of all the states where they have passed legislation restricting BDS of the apartheid state. Land of the free my arse.
I seem to remember the only football club so far to refuse to play either the apartheid state's national team or one of their shitty clubs was Norwegian. Good on them. The corporate media are complicit in the Gaza genocide. Never forget what they did. Never forgive them for it.
