Congratulations to Tavish

Congratulations to Tavish Scott on his principled stand over Gaza, in line with Amnesty International’s policy – and, indeed, to Baroness Warsi who resigned from the Government in protest. (Scott wants UK to stop arming Israel; SN, 06/08/14)

The UK should never have been selling arms to either side in this dreadful conflict.

All the ordinary citizen here can do is boycott Israeli goods, express support for the admirable organisation Jews For Justice For Palestinians and, of course, join the local branch of Amnesty International.
