Rejected petition Don't stop publicly funded bodies boycotting Israeli products & unethical goods

Under new government measures councils, NHS trusts and some student unions will be banned from boycotting goods from Israel on the grounds that it fuels anti semitism. We cannot defend this absurd attack on local democracy and our basic right to protest against something felt to be unjust.
