AS representatives of Scottish civil society, we are extremely concerned for the fate of the Palestinian people who have suffered under Israeli occupation, settler colonialism and apartheid for decades.
Despite the numerous declarations and resolutions of international bodies such as the United Nations which uphold Palestinian rights, including the right of return to their homes and properties from which they have been displaced, no concrete actions have been taken to ensure the state of Israel ends its violations of Palestinian rights.
Instead we witness silence and ever-increasing complicity from our governments, institutions and corporations.
