SPSC Residential Weekend, Fri 31 Oct – Sun 2 Nov
Following the success of our last residential weekend in February, we are holding a bigger residential weekend this autumn for members of SPSC to gather in Stirling.
This will be a fantastic opportunity to meet, learn and work together with fellow activists from across Scotland, exchanging our ideas.
We will use the space and time provided by the weekend to explore a wide range of questions facing our movement, in order to strengthen our action. This will include questions of theory and strategy, as well as how to develop our technical and organisational skills.
The weekend will run from 6 pm on Friday to 6 pm on Sunday.
Registration is open to all SPSC members – if you are not already a member, join HERE.
REGISTER HERE (Registration in advance is required)
Once registered, you will, in due course, be sent further information and asked to provide information such as dietary requirements.
Cost is £70 per person and includes accommodation and meals from Friday through to Sunday. We don’t want cost to be an obstacle – so we have added a £50 option.
Places are limited, so book early to secure your place!

Palestine 1936
2025-11-12 19:00 - 20:30 | Webinar, Webinar, United Kingdom
PALESTINE 1936: The murderous role of British “heroes” in crushing the Palestinian struggle
After the British crushed the Palestinian revolt, Montgomery said he was “sorry to leave Palestine…I have enjoyed the war out here.” The British deployed to Palestine methods and personnel from Ireland, where Montgomery had served in what he called “a murder campaign in which…[British] soldiers became very skilful…My own view is that to win a war of that sort, you must be ruthless.”
➡️ Join us for a discussion on how the British in 1936-39 ensured Zionist success in the ethnic cleansing of 1948.

DEMO: SFA/Barclays
2025-12-14 13:00 - 17:00 | Hampden Park, Letherby Drive, Glasgow, G42 9BA, United Kingdom
The SFA sanctions Russian teams but puts out the red carpet for teams from genocide Israel. In the same spirit of turning a blind eye to genocide, the SFA has now hocked the name of Scotland’s national stadium to genocide bank, Barclays.
Help us on Sunday to leaflet the fans to build opposition to this reward for a genocide profiteer.

Settler colonialism and genocide: Palestine in context
2026-01-31 10:00 - 17:00 | Augustine Church, George IV Bridge, Edinburgh, EH1 1EL, United Kingdom
Keir Starmer and other UK Government ministers deny that Israel’s mass killing in Gaza meets the legal threshold for genocide – or even that there is a serious risk of genocide. This denial enables the UK to continue selling weapons to Israel and allows the RAF to carry out over 500 surveillance flights over Gaza during the genocide peak, directly assisting the killing below.
The International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS) disagrees with Starmer and Lammy. In December 2023, the IAGS issued a statement declaring that Israel’s actions in Gaza constitute the crime of genocide.
AGS represents the world’s leading academic experts on genocide and mass atrocity crimes. It based its conclusion on intent, scale of killing, destruction of civilian life, and statements by Israeli officials. This is the clearest and most authoritative use of the term “genocide” by an international scholarly body.
The Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign has been campaigning against Israeli genocide long before October 2023. The Scottish Government recently acknowledged the Israeli genocide, following the findings of the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry. As part of that campaigning work, you are invited to a full-day public event on Saturday, 31 January, featuring outstanding speakers.
