I'm usually more involved with action outside the parliamentary corridors, but it's good to see elected figures at Holyrood, including Salmond, take an openly supportive position on Palestine.

If this parliament had actual powers over foreign policy, we'd be in a potentially new ball game in bringing state pressure to bear on Israel. <BR/><BR/>JohnJohn Hilleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10072819649049077782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1725411122663433189.post-73915077441905479002009-04-04T13:43:00.000-07:002009-04-04T13:43:00.000-07:00Brilliant stuff John!.all the best!Brilliant stuff John!.<BR/><BR/>all the best!joe90 kanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15925893894108250518noreply@blogger.com
