itemprop=description content=THE Scottish Conservatives have called on the SNP to end their coalition deal with the Greens over the party’s support for Palestine.
, the Scottish Greens MSP for the North East, caused a social media storm on Sunday when she tweeted that Hamas’s attacks on Israel were a result of “apartheid” and the country’s occupation of Palestinian territories.
“Palestinian civilians have seen their homes destroyed, their water stolen their land appropriated illegally.”Her views were echoed in a leader column in the respected Israeli newspaper Haaretz, which said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should bear sole responsibility for the attacks. In a letter to the FM, Carlaw said: “I would like to ask you if you agree with the comments made by Maggie Chapman and if they reflect the current position of the SNP-Green Government.
“But Maggie Chapman’s comments are so unacceptable that Humza Yousaf must end the toxic Bute House Agreement and kick the Greens out of his government. If not, he will be deemed an apologist for antisemitism., so we can only assume he is uncomfortable being in government with a party which refuses to view Hamas as a terrorist organisation.”Carlaw also called for Chapman to be dismissed from her role as the deputy convenor of the equalities and human rights committee.
