That the Parliament recognises Israel’s right to defend itself against indiscriminate rocket fire; however condemns the disproportionate and excessive use of force which has injured and killed many innocent civilians, including 22 children and 12 women; joins with calls from the European Union, the United Nations and the Vatican in demanding an end to the collective punishment of Gazans, and urges the Scottish Government to express to the UK Foreign Secretary the Scottish people’s revulsion at the actions being carried out by the Israeli Government.
