I am so jellouse of ireland :(
A half arsed start, but at least a start. Why only ban products from a certain region, not all products? It’s not just the settlements in West Bank that do wage an illegal, genocidal war of aggression, it’s the entire state of Israel. The settlements are just a symptom of their genocidal aggression.
These kinds of laws are so tortuous because the people who champion them expend a lot of political capital getting them passed and when they do the very people you’d think would be celebrating them are instead calling their work half-assed.
The Dutch government is looking to instate the same: https://nos.nl/artikel/2615423-kabinet-wil-handelsverbod-voor-producten-uit-illegale-israelische-nederzettingen
Other European countries should follow
It’s a start I suppose…
This has been in progress since 2018.
Better late than never.
are there that many goods imported into Ireland from that area? I really doubt it, and this seems like more of a performative action than anything
The avocado from Israel is very good tho. You need to be lucky i guess tho, as always with avocados. 8.5/10
Edit: It was the best avocado i ever had.
