Recognising the Dundee Campaign to Revoke the Charity Status of KKL (Scotland)

Lodged by Maggie Chapman (Scottish Green Party) Standard Motion 1 supporter

The motion

That the Parliament notes the establishment of the Dundee campaign to revoke the charity status of KKL (Scotland); understands that the purpose of the campaign is to address local concerns relating to the charitable status of the Jewish National Fund (JNF)/Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael (KKL) (Scotland) and to complement the ongoing national campaign led by the Scottish Palestine Solidarity Committee; understands that concerns relate to the veracity of the JNF/KKL’s environmental activity, the reported reality of its relationship to the expulsion of Palestinians through forcible land acquisition, and the reported use of greenwash by it to justify ethnic cleansing; notes that engagement with the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator, based in Dundee, will be the focus of the campaign; understands that a similar campaign in Canada to revoke its tax-exempt status has been successful, and wishes the campaign to revoke the charity status of KKL (Scotland) success in its activities.
