Grassroots football in Scotland is now ultimately being funded by Israel’s destruction of not only the same grassroots football in Palestine, but Palestinian society itself, writes Fraser Wilson ✍️ www.thenational.scot/sport/...

🚨 A new poll has us more than doubling our number of MSPs! It's clear that we need bold solutions to the cost of living crisis and the climate emergency. Together we can build a fairer, greener, independent Scotland.

Once a symbol of unity and hope across Europe, the Eurovision Song Contest has been turned into a pink-washing front for war criminals in Israel. After today's decision, there must be a global boycott of Eurovision.

Companies profiting form war crimes and genocide should not be profiting here in Scotland. This year the Scottish Parliament voted to support Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions against Israel. Now we need clarity about how the government is implementing it.

It's not just Gaza. From the West Bank to Syria and Lebanon, Israel's onslaught continues | Nesrine Malik

Amnesty's new report finds that Israeli authorities are still: 🔴 Severely restricting access to vital humanitarian aid and services 🔴 Expelling Palestinians from their homes and land 🔴 Imposing conditions "calculated to physically destroy Palestinians in Gaza" 🔴 Committing genocide

NEW: Israel's genocide in Gaza is 'not over' despite the announcement of a ceasefire, human rights experts have warned 🔗 www.thenational.scot/news/2...

BREAKING🚨 Campaigners were outside Dana Petroleum HQ in Aberdeen today to call out their contract with the Israeli government! We join the International Day of Action against Dana Petroleum & its owner the Korean National Oil Company (KNOC) - in Ulsan, South Korea, in Aberdeen, Edinburgh & London.

On Nov. 22, Israeli strikes killed more than 20 people and injured over 80 in #Gaza, according to the Ministry of Health. Since Oct. 11, over 339 Palestinians have been killed and more than 870 been injured. Despite the ceasefire, we are still treating injured people in Gaza.

The brief visit was highly controlled and offered no access to Palestinians, or other areas of Gaza. Military censorship laws in Israel mean that military personnel were shown all our material before publication. Sky News maintained editorial control of this report at all times.

Sky's Adam Parsons sees the full-scale destruction of Gaza Israel does not allow news organisations to report independently from Gaza. Today it took a group of journalists, including Sky News' Adam Parsons, into the area of the Strip occupied by Israeli forces. 🧵 on restrictions below

If the agreement ends the immediate violence, and lets hostages and prisoners return to their families, we should all welcome it. But it says nothing about the long term solution, or justice for Palestine. The occupation must end, and war criminals must face justice. greens.scot/news/greens-...

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.’

Strong showing from Edinburgh and East Lothian Greens at today's national demo for Palestine. Our hearts are breaking for Gaza #FromTheRiver 🍉 @edinburghgreens.bsky.social @qmanivannan.bsky.social

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.

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.

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 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 ✍️ Read the article: www.thenational.scot/politi...

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

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. www.thenational.scot/news/2544143...

With Mother's Against Genocide reading out the names of the thousands of Palestinian children killed by Israel. We're reading names all day outside Scottish Parliament. It's tough. There are tears. Anyone available to join us please do.

🎉BREAKING: Scotland has joined the global movement to boycott Israel! The proposal put forward by Green MSP @patrickharvie.bsky.social was supported by a majority of members in the Scottish Parliament.

✅Scotland is to BAN funding for Israel's arms dealers! Scottish Greens have long fought for this change, alongside @amnestyscotland.bsky.social, @oxfamscotland.bsky.social, and others.

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. 💚

A flotilla of ships has set sail for the Gaza Strip with humanitarian aid on board, while the man-made famine deepens as Israel blocks deliveries of food to the Palestinian territory

Hospitals aren't targets.

Ben Brown: "The IDF have said... they do not intentionally target people who are not involved in the conflict" Well done to professor Nick Maynard for calling out the BBC here.

The United Nations has declared a famine in Gaza. Over half a million Palestinians are facing the most devastating form of hunger, as Israel continues their devastating genocide. Let aid into Gaza! End the occupation. 🇵🇸

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 🌳🚫 Thank you to everyone who wrote into the consultation earlier this year to make your views known .. we did it! 💬📝

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!
