Repeal the ban on the boycotting of Israeli goods.

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

It is a democratic right to withdraw custom from any product or service for any reason, including disapproval of the actions of a particular nation state. Banning the boycott of Israeli goods by councils, public bodies and student unions is egregious antidemocratic government overreach.
