The Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign (SPSC) is a Scottish political organisation which campaigns in solidarity with the Palestinian people.[1]

It supports the BDS Movement and its call for boycott, divestment and sanctions towards Israel[3] while it continues to occupy the Palestinian territories.[4] Demonstrations by the organisation in 2014 successfully forced Fringe productions funded by the Israeli government to close.[5]
