SNP ministers call for IDF to be banned as a TERROR group | UK | News
The SNP was involved in a growing debate of anti -Semitism that has signed a movement that many of the MSPs should be classified as a terrorist organization of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). Reports Times.
The movement by SNP Backbencher James Dornan in Holyrood asked the United Kingdom to ban the IDF with groups such as Wagner Group, Wagner Group and Islamic Jihad – instead of the Palestinian action.
The movement led to anger from the MPs of British Jews, who said that branding IDF as a terrorist group naturally anti -Semitic. Michael Wegier, the general manager of the organization, said, “If IDF was not available, Israel would have stopped existence,” he said. “The only meaning of this movement requires the disintegration of the clearly anti -Semitic state of Israel.”
This week, deputies voted over the Palestinian action, a group responsible for penalty actions, including Scotland, to Ban. This weekend is a crime that can now be sentenced to up to 14 years in prison.
SNP avoided voting. Argyll & Bude deputy Brendan O’hara said that he and his colleagues would oppose the ban-if they did not contain two “Neo-Nazi” groups of the British government’s same vote. This position said that he was sending an abstain from a “really disappointment ve and sent a“ dangerous message ..
Dornan’s movement described the Palestinian action as a “non -violent campaign organization ve and accused the United Kingdom of the United Kingdom of“ completely harmony and obedience to the Israeli government .. Home Secretary Yette Cooper “only called on these organizations to ban these organizations [that] Israel is really a threat to life like the defense forces. ”
SNP was approached to comment.
The movement was supported by other five SNP MSP, including Paul McLennan, who served as Minister of Housing under John Swinney until last month. Former International Development Minister Ben Macpherson, Evelyn Tweed, Stephanie Callaghan, Stuart McMillan and four Green MSP, together with the party’s joint leader Patrick Harvie signed.
Wegier condemned the movement as “ridiculous ve and said that the discourse from the elements within the SNP“ terrified the Jewish community of Scotland. “We, as Jews, are not terrified of the idea that people can criticize the Israeli government,” he said. “But there is a distinction between this and calls for the disintegration of Israel.”
The first Minister John Swinney refused to call the Palestinian action last month or not, and to call it a problem for the Minister of the Interior ”.
