“An international push to make Google show Israel’s illegal wall around Palestinian territory on its Maps service will be launched this week by a Scottish MEP.
The SNP’s Alyn Smith will launch the #showthewall petition in partnership with the global activism network Avaaz, which has 44m members in 194 countries.Smith, who sits on the European Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee, said the absence of the so-called “separation barrier” from Google Maps appeared “deliberate and excessive”. ….”

We all know what that “Celtic fans’ Palestinian flag protest” entailed, of course.
Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign chief Napier explained it thus:
George Galloway had this comment:
And blogger Edgar Davidson has this graphic one here that’s worth 1000 words:
As most readers will know, Glasgow’s footie teams, “Celtic” and “Rangers,” have histories rooted in sectarianism: “Celtic” football club has Glaswegian Irish Catholic roots and “Rangers” Protestant ones. It would seem that the support for Palestinian nationalism that became evident in Irish Republican circles in the 1970s, and persists in the Irish Palestine Solidarity Campaign, which is among the most vicious of the PSC’s branches and imitators, along with an unhealthy dose of antisemitism that arguably stems from traditional Catholic Church influences, drives much of this hostility towards Israel, abetted by Muslim anti-Israel sentiment in Scotland.
The comments beneath this Facebook post by Gorgeous George will help to explain the latter point:

I realise he’s not a Scot, but I can’t resist adding this footage of a literal comedian, Londoner Mark Thomas. In the opening frames he and as-a-Jew BDS activist Naomi Wimborne-Idrissi hove into view, and then the comedian goes on about the Shalom Festival (which was a grand counter in Ediburgh to all the recent hate) and about pride in BDS.
It’s stuff that shows the puerile mindset of the anti-Israel set.
And the damnable self-importance of “Artists for Palestine”.
