Israeli Apartheid Week
The motion
As an amendment to motion S5M-04374 in the name of John Finnie (Israeli Apartheid Week), leave out from "13th annual" to end and insert "International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of anti-Semitism; commends the UK Government for adopting this definition; notes the letter written by Jo Johnson MP calling for events under the banner of Israel Apartheid Week to be 'properly handled' to ensure that the country's values, expectations and laws are not violated; condemns without exception any acts of aggression towards Jewish businesses by the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement; considers that there is no place in society for any form or discrimination or harassment, including anti-Semitism, and calls on the Scottish Government to both adopt the IHRA definition and robustly and vigilantly ensure that it pursues the elimination of anti-Semitism and all forms of harassment, racism or prejudice."
