The Jerusalem Post website reports today that activists in Scotland are planning a three-day protest outside the Scottish Parliament on May 4, 2010, after failing to persuade authorities to cancel an Israel exhibition in the parliament building.
The three-day exhibition looks at Israel's achievements in medicine, science, and technology. Organizers said the exhibition is entirely non-political.
Last week the parliament's Public Petitions Committee (PPC) rejected a petition calling for the exhibition -- which runs until May 6 -- to be canceled.
The petition said, "Hosting this exhibition in the Scottish Parliament potentially implicates all of us in a whitewashing of Israeli crimes. Cancellation will send a clear message that Scots oppose the heinous crimes of Israel."
