Church of Scotland General Assembly slams Israeli apartheid and land theft - suggests BDS needed

May 17, 2013
The Inheritance of Abraham? A report on the 'promised land' is a ground-breaking report by the Church and Society Council that was overwhelmingly agreed this weekend at the annual General Assembly of the Church of Scotland in Edinburgh. In adopting the report with only a handful of votes for remitting it, the Church of Scotland rejects the use of the Hebrew Bible to “sanction…occupation of land which involved the displacement of some 750,000 people living there”.

I sat through three days of the General Teaching Council Scotland (GTCS) four-day fitness-to-teach hearing of the ex-Convenor of the Confederation of Friends of Israel Scotland (COFIS), Edward Sutherland, a religious affairs teacher at Bell Academy in Ayr, Scotland. Despite his denials under oath, the GTCS panel found that Sutherland had posted anti-Semitic comments and that his fitness to teach has been impaired. It will decide in the coming days on sanctions. Sutherland’s predecessor as COFIS… Read more

In the early hours of 2 May, 2023, Khader Adnan, after 86 days on hunger strike, finally succumbed to the terrible torture on his body, and passed away, kept from his family and any humanitarian care or assistance, in isolation in an Israeli jail. Although 237 Palestinian prisoners have died In Israeli custody since 1967, he was the first Palestinian to die on hunger strike in 40 years.

Most aid intended for Palestinians ends up in Israeli hands

Aug 27, 2016
