Scotland’s former justice secretary was booed by pro-Palestinian activists at a rally in Glasgow after saying Israel has a right to “defend itself against terrorism”.
The first speaker during the rally, Mr Brown said he was speaking in a personal capacity, as opposed to as the SNP’s depute leader and a former minister. “That’s why we stand for a two state solution, which recognises the sovereignty, the independence, the territorial integrity and the right to self determination of both Palestine and Israel.”
“Listen everybody, I only care about the children, babies, women and men that are getting bombed in their own homes,” she said.The demonstration, which was planned deliberately by marchers to avoid the nearby George Square to allow veterans and the public to commemorate Armistice Day, came against a background of political tension.
“ tried to stop us from marching, but in London today, I can report that the largest demonstration for Palestine in British political history is now taking place,” he said to one of the biggest cheers of the event.The Scottish Greens have already submitted such a motion, while former SNP MSP Sandra White told the crowd on Saturday current member Ivan McKee would submit another one.
