Is this the same Jim Bollan who last year opposed an Royal Black Preceptory parade through Dumbarton claming it would cause rioting in the streets and was supported in this by a certain Rev Kenny Macaulay who it turns out has a penchant for kinky sex in the vestery and was dubbed Rev Whiplash as a result

Strange bedfellows this guy Bollan keeps!!!

As to the parade itself apart from a few drunken socialists and other malcontents too drunk to leave a local hostlrey to put their fists around anything more than another bottle the day was a great success for those taking part and even got praise from the local police for their good nature and behaviour.

Scottish COUNTER boycott appears to work...a little bit

Indeed, there are indications the counter-boycott is working: Muqata author Jameel Rasheed notes that it "has already disuaded the Dundee council (this week) from voting in favor of a similar anti-Israel boycott, and all 3 distillers in the WDC region are already actively involved in getting the WDC to stop the anti-Israel boycott." It's hard to argue with success.

I think the rational offered in that write up is pathetic. Basically: support the Israeli left to eviscerate Israel for you. I prefer the Scots to boycott all the Israeli arts, that will hurt the Left more than anyone.

If this means they produce a comprehensive list of pro israeli books and goods then I will happily accept their list AS MY AND MY FRIENDS AND FAMILIES REQUIRED READING AND EXCELLENT GOODS TO BE PURCHASED

Its an ill wind blows nobody some good!!

From news article:
A Scottish councilor who has lead an anti-Israel boycott at the district of West Dunbartonshire defended the perpetrators of the Itamar massacre, saying the murderers were seeking to avenge the killing of Palestinian children, the Jewish Chronicle reported Friday.
Responding to an email for a Pro-Israel activist, Jim Bollan of the Scottish Socialist Party wrote that the killers aimed to avenge the death of "Palestinian children slaughtered by the IDF."
