Report from the BIG Day of Action

 

The Boycott Israeli Goods Day of action went ahead with dozens of actions and pickets taking place.  In Brighton a small picket went ahead outside Tescos despite torrential rain. Members of the Brighton-Tubas Friendship and Solidarity Group recently infiltrated a settlement in the Jordan Valley and saw Palestinian workers, including child labourers, packing dates into boxes marked ‘Tescos’.

 

In London an autonomous group calling themselves JAGUAR (Jews and Gentiles Undermining Apartheid Regime) attempted to lock the gates of Agrexco, the Israeli state export company. Agrexco is currently importing large quantities of Medjoul dates from the occupied territories for the Christmas period. Agrexco had hired extra security due to the boycott day of action and the blockade could not take place although police blocked the road to the depot. One protester was punched in the face see report at http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2007/12/387423.html
