      A nice illustration of one of the best arguments against allowing non-citizens to vote or be elected. A politician should put the national interest at the heart of all their decision making, but if you might not even be here in 5 years time why not spend taxpayer money on “reparations” instead of investing it in Scotland.

      People like this are proper time wasters.

      I have no idea why people vote for them.

      Straight out of the gate with not representing the interests of his constituents and Scotland, isn’t he?

      What a joke. He’s being paid £77k to advocate for wasting Scottish taxpayer money abroad too

      Of course as a student who may not even be able to stay the whole term, this clown will have paid a total of £0 in taxes.

      It would be interesting to ask how the money would be guaranteed not to be taken by Hamas or used to buy more weapons but I’m guessing they probably haven’t gone any deeper than “give us money”.

      Maybe it would be a good idea to start off with some ideas for Scotland before immediately jumping to foreign policy.

      C’mon Scots don‘t be so foolish in your self-expression and be co-opted and thus side-tracked, so easily.

      In the country on a student visa, becomes an MSP and suddenly wants reparations for Palestine, what an absolute joke.

      Reparations? Only after the UK gets 1 trillion Euros from Italy for what the Romans did… Just saying.

      This person is like cartoon character version of how the right like to depict the left. The left would be wise to cut adrift as soon as possible. I fully loathe what Israel is doing to Palestine but there is nothing for Scottish people to pay for here.

      Will we one day get reparations from immigrants occupying the uk ?

      This absolute moron shouldn’t ever have been selected, and should rightly be called out on their bullshit.

      But anybody purposefully misgendering this dipstick is unfortunately only feeding into the Green’s “defence” that they’re only being attacked because of their identify.

      The UK doesn’t owe any reparations to Palestine as Palestine was under the control of the British Empire, which no longer exists, because of a mandate, which no longer applies, issued by the League of Nations, which no longer exists, because the Ottoman Empire, which also no longer exists, collapsed

      To add to the situation is that the specific territory that the Palestine Mandate occupied of which we are accused of perpetrating crimes in, which he is demanding reparations for, dissolved into the State of Israel

      So we’d be paying reparations to the Israeli government, which I’m pretty sure he’d also be against

      Reparations for ‘complicity’ is vague and hard to justify legally. Compensation usually needs direct harm. If keen, he should start with clear, specific cases (e.g., Scotland paying reparations to Yorkshire).
