Nothing Personal stands in solidarity with Palestine.
We are signatories to the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) and pledge to boycott all institutions and funders complicit in the Israeli occupation and genocide.
We recognise that recent events are rooted in the 75-year occupation of Palestinian territories by the Israeli state and in British colonialism, and that what is happening in Gaza is not a conflict but a siege, not self defence but collective punishment.
We call for an immediate ceasefire and the liberation of the Palestinian people and their land.
We urge our readers to join us in signing the PACBI and supporting the Boycott Divestment Sanctions movement, in putting pressure on the British government who are complicit through their support of zionism and their sales of arms to Israel, and to learn more about Scottish cultural institutions’ links to the Israeli state through funding and investments with companies such as Baillie Gifford.
Signed,
