Do people in Dundee still support the city’s twinning with Nablus in Palestine?

It’s a sunny Saturday afternoon in Dundee city centre, and Boots Corner is loud with protest as the Dundee branch of the Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign holds its latest demonstration. Yet behind the protests lies a local story with global resonance: Dundee was the first British city to twin with a Palestinian city. But he doesn’t think the twinning arrangement should be suspended because that would itself be “too controversial.”“It would go from people thinking Dundee was ‘pro-Palestine’ to Dundee being ‘pro-Israel’. Dundee city twinning is ‘divisional’, claims NHS cookGraeme Campbell, 65, a hospital cook who grew up in Dryburgh, Dundee, “isn’t really bothered” by the Palestinian flag flying over the Caird Hall. Twinning is ‘more significant than ever’Mary McGregor, 67, chair of the Dundee Nablus Twinning Association, is in no doubt that Dundee’s “brave and humanitarian” twinning arrangement remains “more significant than ever” 45 years on.
