The motion

As an amendment to motion S6M-13522 in the name of Ross Greer ("Show Israel the Red Card" Campaign), leave out from "welcomes" to end and insert "considers that sport, like music, art and culture, can be used to build bridges between communities, nations and those of differing views; does not believe that punishing athletes is the way to disagree with the governments of the countries that they represent; believes that football should not be the home of exclusion based on the nationality, race, religion or ethnicity of the participants, and further believes that, despite holding views of concern about the ongoing nature of the conflict in the Middle East, on which there is much to agree, sport is not the place for such political argument or division, given what it sees as its ability to bring people together as history often well proves."
