Guarantee the safety of teenage girls representing Israel playing in an international lacrosse tournament in Edinburgh following threats from the Scottish Palestinian Solidarity Campaign.


Guarantee the safety of teenage girls representing Israel playing in an international lacrosse tournament in Edinburgh following threats from the Scottish Palestinian Solidarity Campaign.
The Issue
Scotland has an enviable reputation for hospitality and celebrating culture. The SPSC has targeted a sporting event to further its extremist campaign of hatred and misinformation. We must not allow anti-Israel extremists to vandalise Scotland's international image by carrying out their threat to disrupt an event for young people, and above all everything must be done to guarantee the safety of the young teams/delegations.
Anyone who believes that political campaigns should not be thrust upon sport, particularly when youngsters are involved, should sign this petition.
We need to show that campaigns based upon hatred and vilification have no place in events hoping to strengthen international goodwill and develop lasting friendships.
