At its Annual Congress on Thursday 4th April 2013, the Teachers’ Union of Ireland (TUI) became the first academic union in Europe to endorse the Palestinian call for an academic boycott of Israel. The motion, which refers to Israel as an “apartheid state”, calls for “all members to cease all cultural and academic collaboration with Israel, including the exchange of scientists, students and academic personalities, as well as all cooperation in research programmes” was passed by a unanimous vote during today’s morning session.
The motion further calls on the Irish Congress of Trade Unions to “step up its campaign for boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) against the apartheid state of Israel until it lifts its illegal siege of Gaza and its illegal occupation of the West Bank, and agrees to abide by International law and all UN Resolutions against it”, and on the TUI to conduct an awareness campaign amongst members on the need for BDS. The motion was a composite motion proposed by the TUI Executive Committee and TUI Dublin Colleges Branch. It was presented by Jim Roche, a lecturer in the DIT School of Architecture and member of the TUI Dublin Colleges Union branch, and seconded by Gerry Quinn, Vice President of the TUI.
The Word of God, as ever ahead of its time, prophecies that the end of this age will indeed be marked by a turning against God's ancient people by those who are ungodly. We have already seen that once with Nazism and its hatred of the Jews.

That end time persecution is known is Scripture as the:
1. 'The Great Tribulation', For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be, Matthew 24:21; And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb, Revelation 7:14; and
2. 'The Time of Jacob's Trouble', Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it, Jeremiah 30:7.
This time of wicked persecution of the Jews will be overruled by the Lord for their good and eventual turning as a nation to believe on Jesus Christ. As Jeremiah 30:7 further states: …but he shall be saved out of it.
Christians are commanded to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces. For my brethren and companions’ sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee. Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good, Psalm 122:6-9.
