Corbyn is a member of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign,[296] campaigning against conflict in Gaza and what the organisation considers to be "apartheid in Israel".[297] In 2012 and again in 2017, Corbyn called for an investigation into Israeli influence in British politics.[298][299] In August 2016, Corbyn said: "I am not in favour of the academic or cultural boycott of Israel, and I am not in favour of a blanket boycott of Israeli goods. I do support targeted boycotts aimed at undermining the existence of illegal settlements in the West Bank."[300]
