The Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign (SPSC) is a Scottish political organisation which campaigns in solidarity with the Palestinian people.
It supports the BDS Movement and its call for boycott, divestment and sanctions towards Israel while it continues to occupy the Palestinian territories. Demonstrations by the organisation in 2014 successfully forced Fringe productions funded by the Israeli government to close.
The organization has been criticized in the British press for anti-Semitism, with allegations of their hounding a Jewish businessman across Scotland.<ref>""Israeli businessman claims anti-Semitic 'hounding' in Scotland"". “BBC”. ‘02 November 2017”. Check date values in: |access-date=, |date=
