Bicom chief executive Lorna Fitzsimons and Jewish Leadership Council CEO Jeremy Newmark were among the speakers at an advocacy meeting in Glasgow in Sunday held as part of the We Believe in Israel campaign.

The audience of 70 at Giffnock Synagogue included people who had travelled from Stirling, Perth and Dundee. Others came from church groups and the Scottish Friends of Israel.

Co-organiser Stanley Lovatt hoped the event would "encourage as many people as possible to fight all the anti-Israel misinformation that is out there".
