Scottish MSP demands Britons who fought for Israel be tried for war crimes
Ross Greer demands prosecution of UK citizens who fought for Israel under Scots law and calls on Scottish businesses to end trade with Israel as part of justice efforts.
- Ross Greer, Scottish Green co-leader, urged Lord Advocate Dorothy Bain KC to arrest and prosecute UK citizens who fought with Israel, calling to `make sure that every single one of these war criminals is arrested and prosecuted`.
- Speaking at the Scottish Greens conference in Edinburgh on Saturday, Ross Greer said the siege and forced starvation of Palestinians is the worst war atrocity of our age and called it genocide.
- Over the coming weeks and months, Greer warned UK nationals who served in Israel's occupation forces will return, including alleged war criminals living in Scottish communities and streets.
- He urged businesses across Scotland to cease trading with Israel and cut all links, likening his boycott call to the Scottish Government's prior action against Russia.
- The Scottish Greens pledged they will never forget and will keep pushing for justice, while Scottish First Minister John Swinney recognised Palestine's situation as a genocide but the Scottish Government took no further action.
