The Guardian's editorial today on the decision of the NUJ to boycott Israel is a credit to the paper. Its conclusion:
This is perhaps the most complex, long-running and intractable international dispute in the world. It is likely that a majority of British journalists covering the story are members of the NUJ. It is doubtful that many of them will have welcomed a motion which will inevitably be seen by some as casting doubts on whether they can truly approach their work in a spirit of fairness and distinterested inquiry. In a statement this week the union's general secretary, Jeremy Dear, pointedly said that it was open to union members to seek to overturn the decision. They would be well advised to do so.See also the list set up at Engage for NUJ members who would like to get involved in overturning the decision.
