The motion

That the Parliament acknowledges the publication of Amnesty International’s report, Israel’s Apartheid Against Palestinians: Cruel System of Domination and Crime Against Humanity; notes the report's findings that Israel, through laws, policies, and practices, has, Amnesty International states, established and maintained an institutionalised regime of oppression and domination of the Palestinian population; further notes the view in the report that the regime of oppression and domination has seen inhumane acts of forcible transfer, torture, unlawful killings, and the denial of basic freedom be committed against the Palestinian population; understands that Amnesty International’s view is that Israel’s actions amount to the crime against humanity of apartheid, under both the Apartheid Convention and the Rome Statute; notes the calls from Amnesty International for the international community to act, including looking at all options such as bans on the sale of arms to Israel and the sale of products from Israeli settlements; further notes the belief that the UK and Scottish governments should do more to support the Palestinian people, and notes the calls for both governments to look at all practical options to help bring an end to what Amnesty International describes as the system of apartheid operated by Israel.
