Scottish council votes for boycotting Zionist regime

According to local media, a county council in Scotland has passed a motion authorizing a boycott of the Zionist regime after comparing the regime to apartheid South Africa.

Condemning the Zionist regime’s occupation of Palestine, Clackmannanshire Council said it would resist all economic and political support for Zionist regime in order to end suffering in Palestine.
Pro-Palestinian activists from the Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign enforced the boycott, which was already being implemented by 11 other councilors.
The motion was proposed at a meeting last week by Independent Councilor Archie Drummond, where the boycott was passed with 11 votes in favour and five abstentions.
The policy condemns the Zionist regime’s continuing illegal occupation of Palestine’s east al-Quds and the West Bank and the illegal blockade of Gaza and backs the United Nations’ recognition of Palestinian statehood.
The motion read: “Just as individual sanctions against apartheid South Africa led ultimately to its demise there, so individual and collective sanctions against the Israel regime will end apartheid and suffering in Palestine.”
It added: “Clackmannanshire Council therefore resolves to resist, insofar as legislative considerations permit, any action that gives political or economic support to the Israel regime.”
