Ógra Join IPSC to protest Atlantic Homecare support of Israel

On Saturday 2 December Ógra activists in Galway joined in solidarity with the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Committee in picketing the Galway branch of Atlantic Homecare's store.

The bone of contention was AH's persistence in selling Israeli made products mostly in the form of Keter garden sheds, wheelbarrows and storage boxes, a letter of protest was handed to the store's manager, John Clarke, by IPSC chairman, Richard Kimball, requesting AH,

"to voluntary make an ethical stance against the collective punishment of Palestinians by the Israeli State ... and to reconsider its support for the racist and persistent abuse of basic human rights by Israel"
