THE Scottish Greens used the Armistice Day commemorations today to call on all governments to end their complicity in the Gaza genocide.

The party’s co-leader Patrick Harvie challenged the SNP Scottish government to stop subsidising arms manufacturers, and the Labour government to end all arms sales to Israel as its military continues its bloody assault in Gaza.

Mr Harvie said: “After the horrors of October 7, the last 400 days have seen some of the worst war crimes of this century carried out against the people of Gaza.

“By arming and supporting Israel, the UK has made itself utterly complicit in the destruction.

“How can [Prime Minister Sir] Keir Starmer and his colleagues look at a humanitarian emergency on that scale and decide to continue the arms sales?
