SNP and Scottish Green MSPs have introduced a motion alleging that the British Government is excessively compliant to Israeli interests, suggesting the IDF should be classified as a terrorist organization. This assertion connects to an old trope regarding Jewish influence in politics and breaches the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's definition of antisemitism. While the SNP has adopted this definition, the Scottish Greens have refrained. The Campaign Against Antisemitism has questioned whether the SNP will take actions against those MSPs who endorsed this motion.
The suggestion that the Jewish state exercises outsized influence in domestic politics alludes to an age-old trope and is a breach of the International (IHRA) Definition of Antisemitism.
The Scottish Greens refuse to adopt the IHRA Definition and demonstrate their commitment to fighting anti-Jewish racism, while the SNP has adopted the Definition.
The motion brought by SNP and Scottish Green MSPs claims the British Government shows compliance to the Israeli government and proposes proscribing the IDF as a terrorist organization.
A spokesperson for Campaign Against Antisemitism questioned whether the SNP will take action against its MSPs who supported the motion.
