FAREWELL TO THE NUJ BOYCOTT OF ISRAEL

The National Union of Journalists' national executive decided on Friday to do no more about its annual delegate meeting decision to call for a boycott of Israel. My tame NEC hack tells me:
The original motion called for the NUJ to call on the TUC to organise a boycott of Israeli goods. The motion having been passed, we wrote to the TUC with this suggestion. The TUC said "no". On Friday the NEC decided that this should be the end of the matter - we have done what we were asked, and will now do no more.
