The delegates of every trade union in Scotland were driven by feelings of solidarity with the struggle of the Palestinian people and anger at Israeli theft of land, extreme violence, racism and state-enforced apartheid. <br /><br />The leaders of SCoJeC have a record of throwing around reckless accusations. Last year, Scottish PSC took legal action against their malicious allegations that our own organisation was racist, with the result that SCoJeC had to pulp 6,000 copies of a book published in the name of Scottish Jews. <br /><br />Scottish PSC urges Scottish Jews to look carefully at such a pattern of reckless behaviour by their representatives. <br /> <br />SPSC has always stood against Israel's attempts to implicate all Jews in Israel’s crimes. <br /><br />Opposition to Israel’s crimes is now shaping into active boycott of Israeli state institutions and companies, or any company complicit in Israel’s violations of international law. SPSC will seek to build upon our track record of working together with Israelis committed to Palestinian human rights, especially the representatives of over one million Israeli citizens who are openly calling for international boycott to oppose Israeli apartheid.<br /><br />It is important now that Scotland’s Jews face up to the same issues confronting all of us: what to do when our self-styled representatives support crimes that implicate us all? Common decency, but also a sense of self-interest, demands that we oppose the aggressions being committed in our name against the people of Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine.Mick Napiernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640441812647446166.post-8490806719036149952009-04-24T04:11:00.000+01:002009-04-24T04:11:00.000+01:00It's always a pleasure to have an articulate Zioni...It's always a pleasure to have an articulate Zionist making a carefully considered and sophisticated critique of something he disagrees withTony Greensteinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640441812647446166.post-9293650446012501242009-04-23T23:12:00.000+01:002009-04-23T23:12:00.000+01:00Fucking scumFucking scumAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
