Tunisia campaign urges Israel boycott

374785_Israel-boycottActivists have launched a campaign in Tunisia, calling for the international boycott of the Israeli products over the Tel Aviv regime’s atrocities in the besieged Gaza Strip, Press TV reports.

The campaign is mounted by the General Union of Palestinians in Europe and the Palestinian House Foundation in Belgium.

Those who buy Israeli products “are supporting Israel in its war crimes,” Mehdi Abbes, a lawyer, told Press TV.
The campaign comes as analysts say a large number of people around the globe are currently standing up against Israel and putting more pressure on their governments to stop backing Tel Aviv.

“The current strategy of public and media pressure … [and] anti-Israeli protests are effective. In addition, the economic boycott is a strong message to Tel Aviv allies. Many have reviewed their positions to preserves their own economic interests,” Hassan Ayadi, journalist and political analyst, said.
The activists also say that Israeli soldiers with dual citizenship would be identified and hunted down to face justice for the killing of innocent people in Gaza.

“Many Jewish youths in Europe hold dual citizenship. They have Israeli passports and serve in the Israeli military. They are now fighting a war [in Gaza] and committing horrible crimes as Israeli soldiers. They return later to Europe as civilians and live an ordinary life, they are students or businessmen. Now we can prosecute those war criminals and establish a data base of Israeli soldiers and officers with European origins who are responsible for the Gaza massacre,” said Ramadan Abu Jazar from Global Network for Rights and Development.
The international boycott of Israeli products, or the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS), is gaining momentum as Israel continues its aggression against Palestinians. The BDS movement aims to highlight the rights of the Palestinians.

The latest Israeli war on the Gaza Strip began on July 8. According to Palestinian health officials, the overall Palestinian death toll from the brutal Israeli war on the Gaza Strip has reached 1,918. Nearly 10,000 others have been wounded in the attacks.
