What they say about SPSC – friends

The situation in Palestine remains grim. However, world opinion is moving on from impotent outrage at Israel and international support for the Palestinian call for BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) is growing. The goal is to end Israeli crimes and to achieve justice and freedom for the Palestinian people.

SPSC has been uncompromising in its support for Palestinian human and national rights and it is vital that our campaigning work continue and be expanded. Here are some of the feedback that we've received from friends over the years.

At the end of 2012, one third of MSPs (Members of the Scottish Parliament) signed motion S4M-04871 "support[ing] the efforts of the Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign to raise awareness of the rights of the Palestinian people".  The full motion reads:

That the Parliament condemns the missile attacks on Gaza by Israel, which have resulted in many deaths, including children; supports the call from the Secretary-General of the United Nations for an immediate de-escalation of tensions and for both sides to respect their obligations under international humanitarian law; believes that a repeat of the conflict four years ago in which an estimated 1,400 Palestinians died can be avoided; supports the efforts of the Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign to raise awareness of the rights of the Palestinian people, and calls on the UK Government to stop arms sales to Israel.
