UK teachers’ union now ‘HP free zone’ due to Israel ties

‘The UK’s largest union for school teachers has launched a boycott of HP over the technology giant’s role in the Israeli occupation.
More than 21,000 people in the UK have also signed a pledge to boycott the US-headquartered firm.
Kevin Courtney, general secretary with the National Union of Teachers, said “the NUT does not buy or use HP products or services as a gesture of solidarity with the Palestinian people.”
The union has declared its offices “HP free zones,” Courtney added, arguing that the firm is “complicit in the illegal occupation of the West Bank.”
HP has an active and ongoing role supporting the Israeli military. That includes providing support services for the biometric ID system used at Israeli checkpoints all over the West Bank to enforce Israel’s dictatorial pass system on Palestinians.’
