International Sporting Boycott Of Israel (EDM399)

International Sporting Boycott Of Israel

EDM number 399 in 2008-09, proposed by Bob Russell on 12/01/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Middle East and Sports.

That this House recalls with approval that the civilised nations of the world showed their disapproval of the apartheid policies of South Africa through the banning of that country from international sporting events, a process which helped bring about the ending of apartheid; considers that the behaviour of Israel towards the Palestinian people is equally unacceptable; and urges international sporting bodies to adopt a policy of exclusion of Israel from competitions with immediate effect.

This motion has been signed by a total of 18 MPs.
