Scottish Parliament votes for immediate boycott of Israel

16 comments

passed by 62 votes to 31, with 21 abstentions.
Conservative and LibDem MSPs voted against a boycott, and they were joined by independents John Mason and Jeremy Balfour. Scottish Labour MSPs abstained in the vote.
Scottish Tories and Lib Dems are pro-genocide and Scottish Labour are too cowardly to take a position.
'Mon the SNP and Scottish Greens!
- You know that's funny because the libdems put this on their YouTube channel https://youtu.be/HMYongJjRV0 obviously this is the Scotland MPs that voted in favour and not the rest of the party outside of Scotland but it does kinda send mixed messages from the party

Not a UK resident but how will this square with the law about protesting for Palestine?
- There's no law about protesting for Palestine; you're thinking of the law proscribing the activist organization Palestine Action as a terrorist organization.
  
  But that law has been used to harass people who are anti genocide
