UK pension companies will be allowed to boycott Israeli investments, following a judicial review which found the government had acted unlawfully.
The UK High Court ruled in favor of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC), finding that the government’s guidance, preventing divestment on an ethical basis, had been unlawful.
The judgment also said that “anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian campaigning is not in itself anti-Semitic”
Hugh Lanning, Chair of the PSC said: “Absolutely everyone has a right to peacefully protest Israel’s violation of Palestinian human rights.
“This ruling upholds the right of local councils and their pension funds to invest ethically without political interference from the government of the day.”
The PSC drew comparisons in their case with similar campaigns, leading to the financial withdrawal from institutions in apartheid South Africa in the 1980s.
