Scottish Green Palestine Solidarity Group

Thank you to Hannah Einbinder for using her acceptance at the #Emmys to speak out against Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

The pledge Hannah refers to in her interview has been signed by hundreds of artists who have said they will not work with Israeli film institutions ‘implicated in genocide.’

Boycott Eurovision of Israel takes part. Headline from Variety magazine: "Eurovision crisis looms as the Netherlands, Ireland, Spain, Iceland and Slovenia threaten boycott if Israel participates"

Cultural boycotts have been vital in telling oppressive regimes they will not be normalised.

Israel must not be allowed to use Eurovision as a platform to launder its reputation while committing atrocities.

The UK should join the growing boycott of Eurovision if Israel takes part.

Daily record. Patrick Harvie calls on BBC to join Eurovision broadcasting boycott if Israel takes part. Patrick Harvie MSP said the annual musical extravaganza should not be used "to whitewash genocide".

The UK should join the growing boycott of Eurovision if Israel is allowed to take part.

Eurovision is a celebration of diversity, love and unity. But that's not possible if it’s being used to whitewash genocide.

Israel should be removed as Russia was after its invasion of Ukraine.

Committing war crimes anywhere is a criminal offence in the UK if the perpetrator returns here.

Sadly, a number of British nationals have fought in Israel's occupation forces. Evidence of them committing war crimes has been submitted to the Met.

They must be prosecuted.

Israel's president should be arrested when he arrives in the UK, not given the red carpet treatment.

His state is carrying out a genocide, and his statements, including that there are "no innocent civilians in Gaza", have been cited by the ICJ as evidence of Israel's intent.

UK Government rules Israel is not committing genocide in Palestine THE UK Government has ruled that Israel is not committing genocide in Gaza – contradicting a mounting body of international experts who say…

This UK government policy amounts to genocide denial.

Entire communities have been destroyed, families are being starved, and people are being murdered as they queue for aid.

What will it take for Keir Starmer to finally say 'enough is enough' and that Israel has gone too far?

“The principle is one we should all agree on. If a company is profiting from apartheid and genocide against Palestinians it should not be allowed to profit here in Scotland." - Scottish Green MSP Patrick Harvie.

BDS victory! The Scottish Parliament becomes the first in the world to endorse BDS against genocidal Israel.

BDS calls for escalated civil society pressure on all states to impose legal and targeted sanctions against apartheid Israel similar to those that helped abolish apartheid in South Africa.

Spain imposes permanent weapons embargo on Israel PM Pedro Sánchez announces that ships transporting fuel and planes carrying defense materiel to the country will be banned from Spanish ports and airspace.

Spain has imposed a permanent ban on the sale of weapons and ammunition to Israel as part of a package of measures aimed at "stopping the genocide" in Gaza.

This week Scottish Labour abstained on a motion to recognise Palestine and use boycotts divestment and sanctions against a state they admit is perpetrating genocide.

And now this. It's shameful.

The steps we have finally begun to take in Scotland must set a precedent for governments across Europe, Patrick Harvie writes ✍️

Gaza activists vow to keep pressure on Scottish Government after BDS pledge

Pro-Palestine activists have vowed to keep applying pressure to the Scottish Government after MSPs voted for a package of boycotts, divestment and sanctions against the state of Israel

Israel's president to meet Labour ministers on visit to UK next week ISRAEL'S president is set to visit the UK next week, it is being reported.

The Israeli government is committing war crimes and genocide.

The UK government should be expelling the Israeli ambassador, not inviting their president over for tea.

End the genocide. Boycott. Divest. Sanction. Scottish Greens.

Gaza needs actions, not words. 🇵🇸

It's time for Scotland to stand against genocide.

The International Association of Genocide Scholars have passed a resolution describing what Israel is doing in Gaza as genocide

Professor Timothy Williams from the organisation explains the reasoning behind the decision.

Politics can be different.

Instead of giving a voice to corporations and lobbyists, Greens give Scottish communities a voice to build a better Scotland for all.

Be part of the movement. 💚

Well done to professor Nick Maynard for calling out the BBC here.

End the famine in Gaza City. Scottish Greens.

Absolutely delighted that, at the 3rd time of asking, we have successfully banned arms companies from commercial activity (including testing) in Council parks and greenspace 🌳🚫

The National Article: Scottish Enterprise panned for lack of checks on Israeli-linked arms firms. Text reads: "Scottish Government are still funding Israel's arms dealers"

The Scottish Government is still funding Israel's arms dealers.

Strong words aren't enough, it's time for the SNP to take action. Stop funding genocide!
