Reject Boris Johnson's plan to ban public bodies from criticizing Israel
There is no fair reason for Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson to ban public bodies from criticizing Israel when they have been breaking international laws and committing genocide and the illegal occupation of Palestine.
UN investigators have accused Israeli soldiers of intentionally firing on civilians and said they may have committed war crimes in their lethal response to Palestinian demonstrations in Gaza.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. The Government has not proposed to ban public bodies from criticising nations. The December 2019 Queen's Speech included proposals to prevent public institutions from imposing boycotts against foreign countries or those who trade with them. You can read more about it here -

You could start a new petition asking that the Government not prevent public institutions from boycott countries, if that's what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
