2 reports from today's Irish newspapers:
Dunnes Stores:
Dunnes, the Irish Supermarket chain has received a petition from The Irish Palestine Solidarity Campaign bearing 6,000 names, requesting that it stop stocking Israeli products becausee of its polices on Palestine.
IPSC chairperson Freda Hughes said all supermarkets selling Israeli goods would eventually be targeted, but Dunnes had been chosen to start the campaign because of the historical significance of the anti-apartheid strike in the 1980s.
Parallels were drawn between the apartheid regime and the State of Israel.
"Just as South African forces shot and killed their own people in Sharpville and Uitenhage, so do the Israeli military adopt a shoot-to-kill policy".

Jerusalem:
Israeli settlers took over a Palestinian home in Jerusalem's Old City yesterday, evicting about 44 members of an extended family who had occupied the building for more than 70 years.
The settlerrs said they had bought the building.
The Palestinians were challenging the takeover in court. They had rented the building since 1938 and had won two previous court cases challenging eviction orders.
