This is a procedure that allows prisoners to be kept without charge\, indefinitely and on secret evidence . In protest against the use of this policy\, last year Samer went on hung er strike. On Friday\, this strike will enter its 191st day. Not only is h e going through unimaginable suffering\, the Israeli authorities have also targeted his family as punishment for his defiance. His sister has been a rrested\, and his brother's home demolished.\n\nNonetheless\, Samer remain s steadfast in asserting the most simple of demands: Charge me\, or let me go. This Friday\, people of conscience all over the world are taking to t he streets and standing with Samer\, demanding that he and other political prisoners are treated with the basic respect due to any human being.\n\nI n Sheffield we will be doing the same. On Thursday we are meeting at 5:00 in the Zone to paint banners and make t-shirts - any one who wishes to can also begin a 24 hour solidarity hunger strike. Then on Friday we're gathe ring at 3:00 at the Town Hall and staging a small demonstration\, joining with people all over the world in letting Samer know that he is not going through this alone. As a simple solidarity display this won't take long\, and it would be brilliant to have as many people there as possible. If you can only come on Friday that's absolutely fine\, if you can come along th e evening before too then even better!\n\n"Your solidarity gives me the po wer to continue my hunger strike until i achieve my demand of freedom. It strengthens my steadfastness because it makes me realise that I'm not alon e in my battle for freedom and dignity".

Shot almost entirely by Palestinian farmer Emad Burnat \, who bought his first camera in 2005 to record the birth of his youngest son\, Gibreel\, the film was made by Burnat and Israeli co-director Guy D avidi\, a peace activist and filmmaker.Structured in chapters around the d estruction of each one of Burnat’s cameras\, the filmmakers’ collabora tion follows one family’s evolution over five years of village upheaval. As the years pass in front of the camera\, we witness Gibreel grow from a newborn baby into a young boy who observes the world unfolding around him with the astute powers of perception that only children possess. Burnat w atches from behind the lens as olive trees are bulldozed\, protests intens ify\, and lives are lost. “I feel like the camera protects me\,” he sa ys\, “but it’s an illusion.”\n\nTrailer: http://www.youtube.com/watc h?v=XID_UuxiGxM\n\n\n\n \n\n  LOCATION: University of Birmingham\, Arts Building Lecture room 2\, Un iversity of Birmingham\, Arts Building Lecture room 2\, Birmingham\, West Midlands\, United Kingdom GEO:52.48624299999999;-1.8904009999999971 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS= University of Birmingham \, Arts Building Lecture room 2\, Birmingham\, West Midlands\, United King dom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE= University of Birmingham\, Arts Building Lecture room 2:geo:52.48624299999999,-1.8904009999999971 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:88@palestinecampaign.org DTSTART:20130215T200000Z DTEND:20130215T230000Z DTSTAMP:20130123T145037Z URL:https://palestinecampaign.org/events/theatre-my-name-is-rachel-corrie- 4/ SUMMARY:Theatre: My Name is Rachel Corrie DESCRIPTION:Mull Theatre\, RT Productions &\; Sphinx Theatre\nEdited by Alan Rickman &\; Katharine Viner\nOpens Sat 2nd Feb\, 8pm\, at Druimfin \, Tobermory\n\nOn March 16\, 2003\, Rachel Corrie\, a 23-year-old America n\, was killed by an Israeli military bulldozer in the Gaza Strip as she w as trying to prevent the demolition of Palestinian homes.

Israel actively violates human rig hts against Palestinians on a massive scale\, and its representatives are complicit in this. Join us this Thursday to protest against the decision t o invite one of the most senior representatives of Israel to campus.\n\nSi gn and share the petition against the visit here: http://www.ipetitions.co m/petition/against-israeli-deputy-ambassador-visit-to-york/\n\n----------- ----\n\nThe international community has recognised that Israel has complet ely disregarded human rights concerns and has violated over 30 UN resoluti ons in its treatment and dispossession of the Palestinian peoples and land s. Israel is involved in some of the most serious violations of internatio nal law including forced displacement\, settlement in occupied territories \, annexations of land by force along with wilful killing\, torture\, and collective punishment of civilians. Israel’s violations of the rights of \, and discrimination against\, its own citizens are also of much concern for us and cannot be tolerated by democratic states.\n\nWe recognise the i mportance of freedom of expression and we believe that an open debate abou t controversial issues is essential to the academic environment at the uni versity. However\, Mr Roth-Snir is the official representative of a countr y that continues to oppress Palestinians both inside Israel\, and in the O ccupied Territories through committing violations of human rights and inte rnational humanitarian law against the Palestinian people on a daily basis .\n\nWe are against the university allowing such a platform to an individu al who is complicit in the illegal and unjustifiable breaches of internati onal laws and human rights. Therefore\, we strongly urge the University to reconsider their invitation in light of these considerations.\n\n\n\n&nbs p\; LOCATION:University of York\, Ron Cooke Hub\, Heslington East\, York\, Nort h East\, United Kingdom GEO:53.94728;-1.0283899999999448 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Ron Cooke Hub\, Heslington East\, York\, North East\, United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Unive rsity of York:geo:53.94728,-1.0283899999999448 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:166@palestinecampaign.org DTSTART:20130228T183000Z DTEND:20130228T203000Z DTSTAMP:20130227T155652Z URL:https://palestinecampaign.org/events/book-launch-the-british-left-and- zionism-history-of-a-divorce/ SUMMARY:Book Launch - The British Left and Zionism.

While the Labour Party support ed establishing a Jewish state in Palestine\, as a modernising force\, the communist movement opposed it\, on the grounds that it facilitated imperi al influence in the Middle East. In 1947\, however\, the British Communist Party rallied to the Zionist cause\, leaving the Palestinian cause with n o effective protagonists in Britain. The left’s sympathy\, at the time\, was overwhelmingly with the Israeli state\, considering its establishment a recompense to the Jewish people for the Holocaust. It was only after th e 1967 Arab-Israeli War and Israel’s occupation of the West Bank and Gaz a\, that the new left in Britain began to articulate a critical attitude t o Israel and support for Palestinian nationalism. It is a perspective whic h has gradually gained ground in the political mainstream." \n\nAll are w elcome\; we hope you can join us.\n\n \;\n\nhttp://www.sheffieldpsc.or g.uk/content/events/book-launch-british-left-and-zionism-history-divorce\n \n END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:157@palestinecampaign.org DTSTART:20130228T190000Z DTEND:20130228T210000Z DTSTAMP:20130220T134039Z URL:https://palestinecampaign.org/events/boycott-disvestment-sanctions-pub lic-meeting/ SUMMARY:Boycott Disvestment Sanctions\, public meeting DESCRIPTION: \n\n - Speaker Salim Alam\, member of the National Executi ve Committee PSC\n\nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/492777484093796/\n\n7: 00pm\n\n\n\n \nZionist Israel is stealing Palestinian land\, blockading G aza\, murdering Palestinians because they can.\n All this is done with the support of companies that invest in the crimes that Israel commits\, BDS was formed to highlight what these companies are doing and in order to sto p their support of this Zionist apartheid\, highlight their support and pu t pressure on them to stop.\n\n \n\nOrganised by Nottingham PSC\n\n \n\n \n CATEGORIES:Priority LOCATION:Ymca International Community Centre\, 61B Mansfield Road\, NG1 3FN \, Nottingham\, Midlands\, United Kingdom GEO:52.959787;-1.1499446999999918 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=61B Mansfield Road\, NG1 3F N \, Nottingham\, Midlands\, United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Ymc a International Community Centre:geo:52.959787,-1.1499446999999918 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:153@palestinecampaign.org DTSTART:20130228T190000Z DTEND:20130228T223000Z DTSTAMP:20130215T134908Z URL:https://palestinecampaign.org/events/film-screening-the-people-and-the -olive-3/ SUMMARY:Film Screening: The People and The Olive DESCRIPTION: \n\nFilm Screening: The People and The Olive\n\n \n\n https ://www.facebook.com/events/251752054960053/?notif_t=plan_user_invited\n\n  \n\nThursday\, February 28\, 2013\n\n \n\n7:00pm\n\n \n\n\n\n \nKhali li Lecture Theatre\, SOAS University\, London\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n Thornhaugh Street\, Russell Square\, London WC1H 0XG\n\n \n\n\n\n \nZaytoun CIC an d SOAS Palestine Society invite you to:\n\n The People and The Olive \n\n Followed by Q &\; A with Manal Abdallah from Canaan Fair Trade and Odeh Qadi from The Palestinian Fair Trade Association\n\n ‘An inspiring docu mentary about the daily joys and struggles of Palestinian fair trade farme rs and the American ultra-marathoners who ran across the West Bank plantin g olive trees and bridging cultures along the way’http://thepeopleandthe olive.com/\n\n Entry: Free (but donations encouraged.

And of course the building permits are always denied to the Palestinians\, and people are tied up in bureaucratic nightmares for ages. They may not have the deeds to the property\, but ev erybody knows who owns what anyway. So the bulldozers move in\, and famili es and properties are destroyed. Of course\, when the houses are rebuilt\, they will still be subject to demolition orders\, but the point is SOLIDA RITY with the family and PROFILE RAISING. And the Israeli authorities know that the INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY knows what they are doing."\n\nThere'll be a stall on the night with Palestinian goodies for sale (handmade soap\, gorgeously embroidered purses\, scarves) so bring along some extra pennie s to buy some ethical and fairly traded Palestinian goods. There will also be information available about current and ongoing projects in Palestine. \n\nSo without further ado\, here's the line up\, bringing you ROOTS REGGA E\, DRUM &\; BASS AND CLOWNCORE :)\n\nED COX (LIFE4LAND)\nhttps://sound cloud.com/ed-cox-life4land\nThis man needs no introduction...but here we g o anyway!

Guez’s family heritage is both Christian Palestinian and Jewish Tunisian. His work focuses on de picting  the history and experiences of the Christian Palestinian minorit ies who have remained in Israel\, a dispersed community whose voices and e xperiences have been marginalized by the prevailing narratives of the regi on. Guez’s work addresses these disparities whilst exploring contemporar y art’s role in provoking questions about history\, nationality\, ethnic ity\, and personal identity.\n\nThe exhibition will include new and recent work\, including the European premiere of 40 DAYS\, a multi-channel vide o piece and photographic series about the destroyed gravesites in the Chri stian Palestinian cemetery in the city of Lod (previously known by its Ara bic name of Al-Lydd).\n\nThe images originate from Guez’s ongoing work\, begun in 2009\, to build the first Christian-Palestinian Archive\, the CP A\, a growing collection of archival documents about the Palestinian Chris tians who were expelled from\, and those who remained in\, the State of Is rael after the 1948 war. The archive’s starting point was Guez’s own f amily’s albums\, three generations of the Monayer family living as a “ minority within a minority” but today it includes thousands of other ima ges.

This is what you teach young l awyers. Israel ignores this. It brings administrative detention orders to a military court that follow military law. The evidence is secret. The cou rt rubber-stamps the order. It is arbitrary detention” says Shawan Jabar in\, recently-appointed commissioner to the International Commission of Ju rists.\n\nA Palestinian rights organization profiled Sunday eight politica l prisoners from the occupied West Bank currently on hunger strike.\n\nSix of the hunger strikers are protesting Israeli administrative detention or ders against them.

Doors open 6.30. Refreshments served .\nPresented by West London Palestine Solidarity Campaign\n(pscwestlondon@ googlemail.com\; www.palestinecampaign.org)\n \;\n\n\nWhen his fourth son Gibreel is born in 2005\, self-taught cameraman Emad Burnat\, a Palest inian villager\, gets his first camera. While the people of his village\, Bil’in in the West Bank\, begin to resist the construction of a separati on barrier that will consume their farmlands\, Burnat films their non-viol ent struggle. Very soon\, events begin to affect Emad and his family. Ther e are daily arrests and violent attacks while protesters are shot at and d etained by Israeli police. As Emad documents these events\, one camera aft er another is smashed – and each camera becomes a chapter in his struggl e.\n\n“If you are wounded you will always remember your wound\, even aft er it’s healed. But what if you are injured again and again… you forge t your scars. But the camera remembers and so I film to heal”.Emad Burna t\n\n\n \;\n\nNotes for editors:\n\n \;\n\nAn extraordinary work o f both cinematic and political activism\, 5 Broken Cameras is a deeply per sonal\, first-hand account of non-violent resistance in Bil'in\, a West Ba nk village threatened by encroaching Israeli settlements and the building of the separation wall.\n\nShot almost entirely by Palestinian farmer Emad Burnat\, who bought his first camera in 2005 to record the birth of his y oungest son\, the footage was later turned into a galvanizing cinematic ex perience by co-directors Guy Davidi and Burnat.\n\nStructured around the v iolent destruction of a succession of Burnat's video cameras\, the filmmak ers' collaboration follows one family's evolution over five years of villa ge turmoil. Burnat watches from behind the lens as olive trees are bulldoz ed\, protests intensify\, and lives are lost. "I feel like the camera prot ects me\," he says\, "but it's an illusion."\n\n \;\n\nBackground:\n\n In 2009\, Emad approached Isaeli film maker\, Guy Davidi\, to make a film together. The idea was to focus on two characters Adeeb and Phil. Phil wa s killed during the resistance and Emad wanted to create a film that would memorialize Phil. The film was developed through the Greenhouse Program w ith Dutch filmmaker John Appel as a mentor. During the Greenhouse sessions the script was written telling Emad’s story from a personal perspectiv e.\n\n“It was a very hard decision for me to make a personal film. This is not something people here can understand easily. It means exposure of s ome difficult moments like my arrest or my accident.”\n\nPersonal statem ent :\n\n"As an Israeli and a Palestinian\, we knew we would be criticized for making a film together even before we began. Indeed\, the differences in our cultural backgrounds\, life experience\, access to the outside wor ld\, and privileges afforded us presented immediately and were unavoidable . By necessity\, we learned to use these complications to our benefit.\n\n We made 5 BROKEN CAMERAS to inspire people in their own lives\, beyond the scope of political discourse. Although politics are an inherent foundatio n of the film\, we made sincere attempts to challenge our own biases\, set ting aside cliché and ideological traps. In the end\, we have opened our hearts to viewers\, and hope they will respond in kind."\n\nEMAD BURNAT an d GUY DAVIDI\n\nCo-Directors\, 5 BROKEN CAMERAS\n\nThe documentary was nom inated for an Academy award for Best Documentary Feature at the 2013 Osca rs.\n\nReceived World Cinema Directing Award at Sundance Festival 2012\n\ nEvent flyer for downloading is attached.

They massacred to terrorise and driv e Palestinians out of their homes. They carried out wholesale ethnic clean sing through mass expulsions of the Palestinian people.\n\n \;\n\n\n\n Britain with its large army in Palestine did not act to stop this or to pr otect the Palestinian civilian population. On May 2nd 1948\, under the Bri tish Mandate\, Zionist troops massacred the village Ayn al Zaytoun. After hours of heavy mortar bombardment they entered and herded the villagers in to the village square. Many of them were executed while bound hand and foo t – the number killed in this way was possibly as many as 200. The remai ning villagers were then taken to the edge of the village where\, with tro ops firing over their heads they were ordered to flee having first been st ripped of all their possessions.\n\n\n\n \;\n\nhttps://www.facebook.co m/events/507579585956384/\n\n \;\n\nCampaign: Holding Britain to accou nt for its culpability in the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in 1948. \n \nBackground information at www.br1917.org.uk \n\nContact: hbacpalestine@y ahoo.co.uk\, 07880731865\, 07833357526 CATEGORIES:Priority LOCATION:Outside the Foreign Office\, Kings Charles Street\, SW1A 2AH\, Lon don\, United Kingdom GEO:51.5022061;-0.12789920000000166 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Kings Charles Street\, SW1A 2AH\, London\, United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Outside the Fore ign Office:geo:51.5022061,-0.12789920000000166 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:313@palestinecampaign.org DTSTART:20130502T180000Z DTEND:20130502T220000Z DTSTAMP:20130424T090233Z URL:https://palestinecampaign.org/events/an-evening-for-palestine-solidari ty/ SUMMARY:An Evening for Palestine Solidarity DESCRIPTION:Join us for a packed evening of talks\, poetry\, entertainment\ , videos\, fundraising appeal\, auctions\, hampers and traditional 3-cours e Palestinian menu.\n\nBook tickets>\;\n\nSpeakers include:\nHis Excelle ncy Manuel Hassassian\, Palestinian Ambassador to the UK\n\nLutfur Rahman\ , Mayor of Tower Hamlets\n\nJeremy Corbyn\, MP for Islington North\n\nDr A nas Altikriti\, Founding member\, British Muslim Initiative\n\nBaroness Je nny Tonge\, Independent Liberal Democrat\n\nNaila Ahmed\, Federation of St udents Islamic Societies\n\nSpecial fundraising appeal by Ajmal Masroor.\n \nTickets: £10/£100 for table of 12\ninfo: 0207 700 6192 /07847 223508\n \nAll proceeds to the work of Palestine Solidarity Campaign\n\nBook ticket s>\;\nSupported by Islamic Forum of Europe\, Muslim Association of Brit ain\, Middle East Monitor\, Federation of Students Islamic Societies\, Sri Lankan Islamic Forum-UK\, Khalil Foundation\, YAFFA\, Hayaa Fitness\, MDU K\, Young Muslim Organisation\, Blackstone.\nAt London Muslim Centre\, 46- 92 Whitechapel Road\, London E1 1JX.\nNearest tubes: Aldgate East/Whitecha pel.\n\nDirections: http://www.eastlondonmosque.org.uk/  Closest Tube: Wh itechapel and Aldgate/East.\n\nBuses: http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/gettingaro und/maps/buses/\n\nPalestine Solidarity Campaign www.palestinecampaign.org \n\nBook tickets>\;\n\n \;\n\n CATEGORIES:Priority LOCATION:London Muslim Centre\, 46-92 Whitechapel Road\, E1 1JX.\, London\, London\, United Kingdom GEO:51.5173212;-0.06593079999993279 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=46-92 Whitechapel Road\, E1 1JX.\, London\, London\, United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=London Muslim Centre:geo:51.5173212,-0.06593079999993279 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:321@palestinecampaign.org DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20130503 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20130516 DTSTAMP:20130327T170250Z URL:https://palestinecampaign.org/events/2013-london-palestine-film-festiv al/ SUMMARY:2013 London Palestine Film Festival DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the 2013 London Palestine Film Festival\n\n \n\n3 t o 15 May \n\nThis year’s programme comprises 24 events at the Barbican C inema and University of London\, involving 38 titles\, 24 guest speakers\, and the UK’s first international conference on Palestine and the Moving Image.\n\nOpening with a gala screening of David Koff’s trailblazing 19 81 documentary\, Occupied Palestine\, the 2013 programme boasts historic d epth with rarities including a thematic session marking the 25th anniversa ry of the first intifada\, and an outing for Elia Suleiman’s debut\, Hom age by Assassination (part of 1991 portmanteau The Gulf War...

This event gives them\, and Interpal\, the op portunity to report on what they saw. During their time in Gaza they witne ssed the situation that Gazans face every day\; be it fishing restrictions \, exclusion from their agricultural land in the Israeli buffer zone\, or the impact of the ongoing Israeli siege.\n\nThey also saw the work that In terpal does to restore hope to the people of Gaza. The reception will give you an opportunity to see some of that work\, which is based on Interpal ’s firm foundations in the local community in Gaza. It will also highlig ht the difficulties of working in such a sensitive part of the world and t he steps Interpal have taken to ensure local ownership over their projects and to build effective partnerships with international organisations and NGOs.\n\nA discussion on the situation in the Gaza Strip and the work that Interpal carries out will follow brief speeches from the delegation.\n\nC ontact Robert Harper\, on 0207 250 8297 or robert@raittorr.co.uk\, to RSVP or for further information.\n\nWhen you’ve RSVP’d you’ll be sent fu rther details but it is necessary for each person to register.\n LOCATION:House of Commons\, Westminster\, London\, SW1A 0AA\, London \, Uni ted Kingdom GEO:51.501145;-0.12619810000001053 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Westminster\, London\, SW1A 0AA\, London \, United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=House of Common s:geo:51.501145,-0.12619810000001053 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:361@palestinecampaign.org DTSTART:20130514T191500Z DTEND:20130514T220000Z DTSTAMP:20130424T164737Z URL:https://palestinecampaign.org/events/palestinian-child-prisoners-publi c-meeting/ SUMMARY:Palestinian Child Prisoners Public Meeting DESCRIPTION:\n\nHaringey Justice for Palestinians is calling a public meeti ng to launch our campaign to highlight the plight of Palestinian children in Israeli jails. We are adding our voices to the international outcry aga inst the unjust and obscene Israeli policy of incarcerating Palestinian ch ildren\, in violation of all international human rights agreements\, inclu ding the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.\n\n \;\n\nMost of t hese children are accused of stone throwing\, yet they are arrested in the middle of the night\, handcuffed\, shackled\, held without charge for up to six months\, and given draconian sentences when convicted. Throughout t he whole ‘legal’ process\, they are separated from their parents and h eld in terrifying\, humiliating and violent conditions\, sometimes in soli tary confinement. Many of them are under the age of twelve.\n\n \;\n\n The Palestinian Solidarity Campaign is already organising activity on this issue nationally\; our local campaign will be part of a country-wide prot est. HFJP belongs to the National Twinning Network\; we are twinned with A izeria (Bethany) on the West Bank in East Jerusalem\, and have hosted seve ral visitors from there. We hope this meeting will help to bring home to p eople in Haringey the sort of issues Palestinian families\, such as those in Aizeria\, have to face on a daily basis.\n\n \;\n\nWe are lucky to have Victoria Brittain (author of Death of Dignity) and Adah Kay (co-autho r of Stolen Youth) as guest speakers at our meeting. Kiri Tunks (PSC) will bring us up to speed with the national campaign. We will also be showing film clips from Stolen Youth. There will be plenty of time afterwards to d iscuss the issues and plan practical ways in which we can take the campaig n forward.\n\n \;\n\nThis issue deserves the attention of the whole co mmunity. Young people\, with their passionate concern for human rights\, m ay be particularly interested\, so please invite young people\, teachers a nd youth workers\, and bring friends and family. Attached is an A5 e-flyer and an A4 poster. Please help us by printing them out and displaying them . If you can\, send them electronically to friends\, colleagues\, teachers \, churches\, mosques\, synagogues\, community centres\, youth clubs etc. Everyone can be involved in this campaign in some way. So we urge you to p ut the date in your diary: with your support we can make the meeting big e nough to build the campaign across Haringey and start making waves. Join u s at St John Vianney on 14 May at 7.15pm.\n\n \;\n\nWe are also stagin g a ‘Palestinian Child Prisoners Walk’.

Within 18 months over 400 villages were completely dest royed and 750\,000 Palestinians were expelled. They have never been allowe d to return.\n\nPalestinians are still being evicted from their homes and lands in Israel\, the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Settlements\, illegal under international law\, continue to eat into West Bank territory while s ettlers burn Palestinian olive groves.\n\nMany regard Israel as an aparthe id state and call for Boycott Divestment and Sanctions.

The report was funded by the UK Foreign Office and followed a trip to Pal estine &\; Israel by a team of high-ranking UK lawyers from the fields of human rights\, crime and child welfare\, who travelled to Israel and th e Occupied Palestinian Territories to assess the treatment of Palestinian children under Israeli military law.\n\nThe report found Israel in breach of international law &\; human rights treaties.

Unfortunately\, Tariq will n ot be able to attend the screening of his film.\n\nAt the birth of his son Gibreel\, Palestinian farmer Emad Burnat is given his first movie camera and begins recording both Gibreel’s childhood and the conflict growing a round them.\n\nAs Israel’s controversial ‘security barrier’ is built through their village\, olive groves and buildings are destroyed by Israe li troops\; violent protests are even more violently suppressed\, and in t he process the five cameras of the title are smashed. But with the help of Jewish filmmaker Guy Davidi\, the narrative also reflects moments of hope and minor triumph that underpin the determined spirit of Burnat\, his fam ily and their fellow residents.\n\nWhatever one may think about this compl ex and divisive issue\, Burnat and Davidi’s documentary is an affecting\ , sometimes almost poetic study that reminds us that despite the political intransigence\, the situation must be one day be resolved.\n\n5 BROKEN CA MERAS was awarded the IFDA prize at Amsterdam Film Festival and the Audien ce Award at Sheffield Doc/Fest\, as well as further prizes at Sundance\, L ondon Open City\, and the Stranger Than Fiction Film Festival in Dublin.\n \n \;\n\nhttp://www.picturehouses.co.uk/cinema/Arts_Picturehouse_Cambr idge/film/5_Broken_Cameras/\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \; CATEGORIES:Priority LOCATION:Arts Picturehouse\, 38-39 St Andrew's Street\, CB2 3AR\, Cambridg e \, United Kingdom GEO:52.20345649999999;0.12344150000001264 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS= 38-39 St Andrew's Street\, CB2 3AR\, Cambridge \, United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Arts Pic turehouse:geo:52.20345649999999,0.12344150000001264 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:438@palestinecampaign.org DTSTART:20130625T190000Z DTEND:20130625T210000Z DTSTAMP:20130610T124743Z URL:https://palestinecampaign.org/events/should-britain-apologise-for-the- balfour-declaration/ SUMMARY:Should Britain apologise for the Balfour Declaration? DESCRIPTION:Talk by James Renton\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\nThe Palestinian R eturn Centre (PRC) has launched a five-year international campaign\, leadi ng up to the centenary of the Balfour Declaration on November 2nd\, 2017 a nd seeking an apology from the British government for the Declaration.\n\n  \;\n\nHosted by Jews for Justice for Palestinians\, the historian Jam es Renton\, author of "The Zionist Masquerade: The Birth of the Anglo-Zion ist Alliance 1914-18"\, will be providing a complex response to the questi on: Should Britain apologise for the Balfour Declaration?\n\n \;\n\nDe scription of "The Zionist Masquerade" on amazon.co.uk (where the book is g iven a five-star rating):\n\n \;\n\nThe Zionist Masquerade is a new h istory of the birth of the Anglo-Zionist alliance during the Great War -  a critical chapter in the history of the Zionist-Palestinian conflict. Jam es Renton argues that the Balfour Declaration was the result of a wider ph enomenon of British propaganda policies during World War I that were drive n by mistaken conceptions of ethnicity\, ethnic power and nationalism. Fro m this vantage point\, Renton contends that while a number of Zionist acti vists played a crucial role in the making of the Balfour Declaration\, the end result was not the great Zionist victory that has been widely assumed . Although the Declaration came to be the basis for the British Mandate fo r Palestine\, which made a Jewish State possible thirty years later\, this was far from being the original intention of the British Government. The primary purpose of Britain's wartime support for Zionism was to secure Jew ish backing for the war effort. The unintended consequences of this policy \, however\, were to be explosive and far-reaching.

Therefore\, every Pound you contribute buys us a brick in the house we help build in Palestine. I hope you will contribute in whatever way you can for this project. We hope to use the experience an d knowledge gained by those going to help build the houses will come back and inform people in Birmingham about the conditions Palestinians face und er occupation.\nWest Midlands is targeting to provide one family a house i n Palestine this year.  We hope to make this our annual commitment.\n\nTh ose who go over to Palestine and help in the building process volunteer th eir labor free and pay all their travelling and  for their subsistence. E very pound donated goes to purchase the building materials necessary to bu ild the house. Your contribution therefore adds to the economy in Palestin e. It helps to tell the Palestinians that we care and know about their pli ght and that we are prepared to help in any way we can. It also helps us t o learn through first hand experience the difficulties of living under occ upation. We can use that knowledge to campaign against the occupation of P alestine and for the rights of Palestinians under occupation.\n\nhttp://ma rmarahousingproject.wordpress.com/.\n\nThe project is Palestinian led and its aims are to rebuild 15 Palestinian homes in the village of Idhna in w estern Hebron.\n\n \;\n\nSince the 1967 occupation an estimated 27\,00 0 Palestinian homes have been demolished by the Israeli state in contrave ntion of international human rights law and authoritatively upheld by the International Court of Justice [2004].http://www.icahd.org/\n\n \;\n\ nSave The Children report "Broken Homes\,Assessing the Impact of House Dem olition on Palestinian Children and Families"states that children who hav e their homes demolished suffer from anxiety\,depression\,emotional withd rawal\,attention disorders and behavioral problems.97% of parents suffer from trauma related symptoms after the demolition of their homes. We are asking you as supports of the Palestinian fight for justice to make a don ation towards the rebuilding costs and help to redress some of the injust ices that they endure.\n\n \;\n\nFunds are needed to help us finance t he re-build of Palestinian homes.

We were responding to the call for action from Palestinian agricultural organisations and civil society networks\, calling for an end to international trade with Israeli agricultural companies. On Feburary 9th actions targetting Sainsbury’s took place in over 50 different towns and cities up and down the country. In the weeks preceding the day of action Corporate Watch had written to Sa insbury’s providing evidence of how Israeli agricultural companies are c omplicit in the Israeli occupation and the dispossession. Despite issuing a statement to the press on February 9th claiming to take the allegations of Corporate Watch ‘very seriously’\, Sainsbury’s has failed to resp ond in any way to Corporate Watch’s letter.\n\n \;\n\nhttp://www.sai nsburyscampaign.org/?p=101\n\n END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:487@palestinecampaign.org DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20130907 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20130909 DTSTAMP:20130816T142859Z URL:https://palestinecampaign.org/events/48-minutes-for-palestine/ SUMMARY:48 Minutes for Palestine DESCRIPTION:48 Minutes for Palestine is a highly acclaimed international co llaboration between British / Nigerian / Danish theatre maker Mojisola Ade bayo and Ashtar Theatre\, Palestine.\n\n48 Minutes for Palestine is an emo tionally intense yet absurdly playful\, compelling naturalistic drama that happens without a single word being uttered.

A work in progress: Da ughter to the late founder of Bethlehem University\, Leila Sansour returne d to the place she was so desperate to escape as teenager with the intenti on of making a film honouring her father and his relationship with the leg endary town. Instead\, she found herself compelled to document the wall be ing built around Bethlehem\, transforming the city into an open-air prison patrolled by the Israeli military. Five years later\, Sansour has created a touching personal record of her own re-assimilation into her ancestral home\, but also an evocative archive of Bethlehem’s cultural and histori cal riches\, and a crucial expose of the threats this history is facing. A llied with a campaign to resist this erasure and preserve the town’s ide ntity as bastion of harmonious multifaith cohabitation in the Middle East\ , OPERATION BETHLEHEM is a hugely affecting and significant work. We are g rateful to the filmmakers for allowing us to show their film as a work in progress. -\n\n \;\n\nSee more at: http://www.cambridgefilmfestival.or g.uk/films/2013/operation-bethlehem#sthash.2h2Wcmaq.dpuf\n\n \;\n\n&nb sp\; CATEGORIES:Priority LOCATION:Arts Picturehouse\, 38-39 St Andrew's Street\, CB2 3AR\, Cambridg e \, United Kingdom GEO:52.20345649999999;0.12344150000001264 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS= 38-39 St Andrew's Street\, CB2 3AR\, Cambridge \, United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Arts Pic turehouse:geo:52.20345649999999,0.12344150000001264 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:489@palestinecampaign.org DTSTART:20130924T193000Z DTEND:20130924T211500Z DTSTAMP:20130816T143248Z URL:https://palestinecampaign.org/events/area-c-and-the-death-of-the-two-s tate-solution/ SUMMARY:Area C and the Death of the Two State Solution DESCRIPTION:Hamed Qawasemeh\, UNOCHA (office of the High Commissioner for H uman Rights) Officer\,\n\nbased in Hebron\, West Bank\, Palestine\n\nwill be giving a talk entitled:\n\n'Area C and the Death of the Two State Solut ion'\n\nThis event is free and there will be an opportunity for questions after the talk.

Parallel to he r artistic career\, Halaby is an active political campaigner for Palestine \, as well as a scholar who has been instrumental to the documentation of Palestinian art\, publishing her landmark text 'Liberation Art of Palestin e: Palestinian Painting and Sculpture in the Second Half of the 20th Centu ry' in 2002. \;\n\nOver the past fifty years\, Halaby has built upon h istorical abstraction in painting\, such as that of the Russian Constructi vists\, merging this with traditional Arabic arts and Islamic architecture . Her rich and varied oeuvre is characterised by a compelling energy and a n unceasing commitment to experimentation\; in the mid 1980s\, Halaby taug ht herself computer programming in order to create a series of digital kin etic paintings with sound later using her programmes to perform live with percussionists. At the age of 77\, she continues to produce work that chal lenges conventional approaches to painting and this latest exhibition at A yyam Gallery London displays new abstraction emblematic of her innovative approach.\nThe artist cites the inspiration of her paintings as the rich v isual material which surrounds her in everyday life\; she explains\, “Wh en I see something beautiful\, I always stop and memorise it…I watch thi ngs change relative to each other in shape\, size\, and colour and these m emories become the subject of my paintings.” New work 'Clouds and Trees' (2013) is rooted in her memories of the distinctive clouds and landscape of Indiana\, which she admired as a student at Indiana University in the e arly 1960s. The light-filled abstraction\, with its subtle gradation of co lour\, captures the vibrancy of green trees growing upwards to a sky scatt ered with cumulus clouds.\n\nThough stemming from her own experience of th e visual world\, Halaby believes the nature of abstraction allows viewers to recognise their own memories and experiences within her work. She state s\, “Abstraction is not about the artist or his or her individualism\, b ut rather about the far more difficult and thus more satisfying ambition t o invent a visual language capable of containing exchangeable knowledge. O f course\, the uniqueness of painting is that this shared knowledge is a v isual one.” Within the show\, 'Takheel I' and 'Takheel 2' (both works 20 13) were titled after a friend highlighted the fact that she had unconscio usly used the colours and formal qualities of embroidery made in the mount ain villages of Palestine\, a style which is referred to as ‘Takheel’. \n\nInforming her approach is a strong awareness of painting’s history\, with Halaby naming both the Renaissance and Impressionist periods as epoc hs which have influenced her production. The only work in the exhibition w hich has been shown previously\, 'Homage to Leonardo' (2012)\, draws upon Leonardo da Vinci’s 'The Last Supper' (1495–1498)\, a work which capti vated the artist when she first encountered it in 1964. Halaby reimagines the space of da Vinci’s famous work in a kaleidoscope of vivid colour\, using bold brush marks to indicate regions of movement and light. Four ver tical blue lines cross the length of the picture plane\, emulating the dia gonal hatching employed by da Vinci in original sketches\, whilst suggesti ng a new notion of infinite space.\n\nNotes to Editors\n\nAbout the Artist \n\nBorn in Jerusalem in 1936\, Samia Halaby lives and works in New York. She has taught widely at institutions including\, in the USA\, the Cooper Union\, the Yale School of Art\, Indiana University\, University of Michig an\, Kansas City Art Institute\, University of Hawaii\; and short courses at Birzeit University\, Palestine\; Darat al-Funun in Amman\, Jordan. Hala by’s work is housed in numerous international museum collections includi ng\, in the USA\, The Art Institute of Chicago\, Detroit Institute of Art\ , Cincinnati Art Museum\, Cleveland Museum of Art\, The Guggenheim Museum in New York\, Honolulu Academy of Arts in Hawaii\; Mead Art Museum in Amhe rst\, The National Gallery of Art in Washington\, The National Museum of W omen in the Arts in Washington\, Nelson Rockhill Gallery of Art in Kansas City\, Tamarind Institute in Albuquerque and Yale University Gallery in Ne w Haven\; in the UK\, The British Museum\; in France\, Institut du Monde A rabe\; in Qatar\, Mathaf Arab Musuem of Modern Art\; the Guggenheim Abu Dh abi\, UAE\; and in the Jordan National Gallery of Fine Arts. She is the au thor of Liberation Art of Palestine (2002). In 1986 she created a computer program for kinetic paintings\, which resulted in several audio-visual pr esentations including a tour of Syria\, Palestine and Jordan and a perform ance accompanied by live musicians at New York’s Lincoln Center in 1998. \n\nRecent selected solo shows include Ayyam Gallery London\, UK (2013)\, Dubai\, UAE (2011)\, Beirut\, Lebanon (2010) and Damascus\, Syria (2008)\; Tompkins County Public Library\, Ithaca\, New York\, USA (2006)\; Artim G allery\, Strasbourg\, France (2001)\; Skoto Gallery\, New York\, USA (2000 )\; Sakakini Art Center\, Ramallah\, Palestine (2000). Recent selected gro up shows include The Area Gallery\, Paris\, France (2009)\; WAH Center\, B rooklyn\, USA (2009)\; Institut Du Monde Arab\, Paris\, France (2009)\; Cl inton Foundation\, Little Rock\, USA (2008)\; Metropolitan Museum of Tokyo \, Japan (2004)\; The Station Museum\, Houston\, USA (2003)\; Musee du Cha teau Dufresne\, Montreal\, Canada (2001).\n\nAbout Ayyam Gallery\n\nFounde d by collectors and cousins Khaled and Hisham Samawi in Damascus in 2006\, Ayyam Gallery sought to nurture Syria’s burgeoning and dynamic contempo rary art scene through landmark non-profit initiatives such as the Shabab Ayyam Project\, an incubator for emerging artists. Expansion into Beirut a nd Dubai enabled Ayyam Gallery to broaden its scope from the promotion of work by Syrian artists to those from the wider Middle East region. In doin g so\, Ayyam Gallery has established itself as one of the foremost exponen ts of Middle Eastern contemporary art to the international community.\n\nT oday\, Ayyam Gallery is recognised as a leading cultural voice in the regi on\, representing a roster of Arab and Iranian artists with an internation al profile and museum presence\, such as Abdulnasser Gharem\, Khaled Jarra r\, Nadim Karam\, Safwan Dahoul\, Samia Halaby\, Sadik Alfraji\, Afshin Pi rhashemi and Khaled Takreti. A number of non-commercial exhibitions\, as w ell as the launch of initiatives like The Young Collectors Auction\, have further succeeded in showcasing the work of Middle Eastern artists with th e aim of educating a wider audience about the art of this significant regi on. Ayyam Gallery Damascus currently functions as a studio and creative ha ven for artists who remain in the war-torn city. In early 2013\, Ayyam Gal lery launched new spaces in London and Jeddah.\n\nExhibition Facts\n\nExhi bition Dates: 9 October – 30 November 2013\n\nLocation:\n\nTel: +44 (0) 207 409 3568\n\nEmail: london@ayyamgallery.com\n\n LOCATION:Ayyam Gallery\, 143 New Bond Street\, 1st Floor\, W1S 2TP\, London \, London\, United Kingdom GEO:51.5114976;-0.14407189999997172 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=143 New Bond Street\, 1st F loor\, W1S 2TP\, London\, London\, United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TIT LE=Ayyam Gallery:geo:51.5114976,-0.14407189999997172 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:524@palestinecampaign.org DTSTART:20131010T070000Z DTEND:20131010T090000Z DTSTAMP:20131002T104532Z URL:https://palestinecampaign.org/events/justice-palestine-advancing-strug gle/ SUMMARY:Justice for Palestine: advancing the struggle DESCRIPTION:Free public event \n\nWar on Want\, the Russell Tribunal on Pal estine and SOAS Palestine Society welcome you to a panel discussion on the campaigns and legal advocacy initiatives that inspire the global solidari ty movement with the Palestinian struggle for freedom\, justice and equali ty.\n\nSpeakers include:\n\n Daniel Machover\, Solicitor and Co-founder of Lawyers for Palestinian Human Rights\n Frank Barat\, Coordinator of Russe ll Tribunal on Palestine\n Jamal Juma\, Coordinator of Palestinian Stop th e Wall Grassroots Campaign\n Jeremy Moodey\, Chief Executive of Embrace th e Middle East and member of the Kairos Britain steering group\n Rafeef Zia dah\, Senior Campaigns Officer at War on Want\n\nThe Russell Tribunal on P alestine is an International People’s Tribunal created by a large group of citizens involved in the promotion of peace and justice in the Middle E ast.

Graduated from the HebrewUniversity in 1979 and completed his doctorate studies in the university of Oxford in 1984. Pappe taught in University of Haifa between 1984 and 2006 in the department of Middle Eastern History a nd Political Science. Due to his support of the academic boycott of Israel and his insistence of teaching the 1948 Nakbah he was forced to resign in 2007.\n            In 2007\, Pappe joined the Institute of Ara b and Islamic Studies at the University of Exeter and founded the European Centre for Palestine Studies there.\nHe is the author of fifteen books mo st notably The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine (2006)]\nOur second speaker w ill discuss the academic boycott with reference to recent litigation conce rning the boycott’s legality in relation to issues of discrimination.\nL ecturer in law at the School of Oriental &\; African Studies\, Universi ty of London.\nProf Jonathan Rosenhead has been asked to discuss the natur e of any bonus for those academics who choose to collaborate with Israel.\ nJonathan Rosenhead is Professor Emeritus of Operations Research at the Lo ndon School of Economics. He is Chair of BRICUP\, the British Committee fo r the Universities of Palestine\, an organisation of UK based academics wh ich supports the Palestinian Call for Academic and Cultural Boycott of Isr ael. It has been active in promoting the boycott in Britain and world wide . He is the principal author of BRICUP’s pamphlet Why Boycott Israel’s Universities?\nChair: Douglas Chalmers\, Vice President\, UCU Scotland\nO n 4th February 2011\, the Jewish Chronicle Online reported that GlasgowUni versity professor Adam Tomkins was the year’s recipient of the Hailsham Scholarship by the British Friends of the HebrewUniversity for work promot ing understanding between Israel and the UK.\n            The p revious year he had been a visiting professor at the Jerusalem university\ , where he ran a course on national security. It was reported that the Sch olarship would facilitate the next stage of what Prof Tomkins hoped would be “a lifelong series of collaborations with colleagues at the HebrewUni versity”. In addition the comment “If\, as a result\, links between Gl asgowLawSchool and legal scholars in Israel are strengthened\, this will b e an added bonus.” was attributed to Prof Tomkins. It should be noted th at Prof Tomkins neither confirmed nor denied the statements attributed to him.\nFor over two years\, Scottish Friends of Palestine questioned the na ture of this bonus with Professor Tomkins and the head of the School of La w\, Professor Rosa Greaves. We questioned the apparent mandate which Prof Tomkins had to speak on behalf of the School of Law at GlasgowUniversity. While Professor Tomkins was prepared to enter into dialogue\, Professor Gr eaves adopted the mantra of academic freedom and the need to protect free exchange of ideas.\nFor over two years we supplied information to every si ngle member of the School of Law in relation to the denial of educational opportunity and academic freedom by Israel to the Palestinian under occupa tion. On this subject the whole School remained mute. The question as to w hy the sacrosanct nature of academic freedom with a state which consistent ly denies it to others remains unanswered.\nThis Seminar is open to the pu blic.

They are usually accused of throwing s tones at vehicles of the forces of occupation – a crime punishable under Israeli military law by up to 20 years in prison.\n\nArrests take place d uring violent night raids when the child is forcibly removed from the fami ly home\, shackled\, hooded and taken to a detention centre. Usually they are strip-searched and appear in military court in leg shackles. Bail is v irtually never granted\, children may be held on remand for months\, and i n solitary confinement for weeks. No lawyers or family members are present at interrogations\, which often include threats of death\, sexual threats and physical violence.  When children eventually appear before the milit ary court practically all have signed confessions – in Hebrew\, which th ey don’t understand – knowing this is the only way to get an earlier r elease. The conviction rate is an astonishing 97% and a custodial sentence is imposed in 90% of the cases. They end up with a criminal record\, harm ing their chances of obtaining travel and other permits in the future.\n\n The disruption to education and the long-term psychological effects of the se experiences are devastating. \n\nDetails http://action4palestinianchild ren.org/speaking-tour/\n\nConfirmed Tour Dates:\n\n11th November NOTTINGHA M\n\nhttp://action4palestinianchildren.org/speaking-tour/11th-november-not tingham/\n\n12th November PORTSMOUTH 7.30pm \n\nhttp://action4palestinianc hildren.org/speaking-tour/12th-november-portsmouth/\n\n14th November EXETE R 7pm\n\nhttp://action4palestinianchildren.org/speaking-tour/14th-november -exeter/\n\n15th November ABERGAVENNY 7pm \n\nhttp://action4palestinianchi ldren.org/speaking-tour/14th-november-exeter/\n\n16th November WEST MIDLAN DS \n\nhttp://action4palestinianchildren.org/speaking-tour/16th-november-w -midlands/\n\n17th November LIVERPOOL 2pm \n\nhttp://action4palestinianchi ldren.org/speaking-tour/17th-november-liverpool/\n\n18th November OXFORD 7 .30pm \n\nhttp://action4palestinianchildren.org/speaking-tour/18th-novembe r-oxford/\n\n19th November ESSEX 6pm   \n\nhttp://action4palestinianchil dren.org/speaking-tour/19th-november-essex/\n\n20th November LONDON 6.30pm \n\nhttp://action4palestinianchildren.org/speaking-tour/20th-november-lon don/\n\n \;\n\n More details http://action4palestinianchildren.org/spe aking-tour/  CATEGORIES:Priority END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:553@palestinecampaign.org DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20131111 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20131116 DTSTAMP:20131030T162918Z URL:https://palestinecampaign.org/events/right-2-education-week/ SUMMARY:Right 2 Education Week DESCRIPTION:http://www.right2edu.org/\n\nWe are writing to you to invite yo ur group to participate in this year's 'Right 2 Education Week'. Every yea r\, the Right 2 Education Campaign mobilises an increasing number of peopl e globally to take part in a week of events and actions to raise awareness about the plight of Palestinians in their quest for education.\n\nThis ye ar\, from 11-15 November\, we are aiming for a deeper\, international impa ct than ever before.\n\nArticle 26 of the Universal Declaration of Human R ights stipulates that\, 'Everyone has the right to education'. Palestinian s living under military occupation are being systematically denied this ba sic right.\n\nRestrictions on movement means that higher education is not 'equally accessible to all on the basis of merit' (Universal Declaration o f Human Rights\, Article 26) but rather is accessible only to those who ca n reach it. Checkpoints and roadblocks inside the West Bank can see short journeys take hours\, or become impossible. Gazan students are unable to l eave to study elsewhere\, and those who do obtain permission cannot return to see their families. Studying abroad is difficult\, as is the freedom o f international intellectuals and students to visit Palestinian universiti es. Materials and text books purchased are often delayed by the military w hich leads to a recycling of knowledge as students are not able to access the most up-to-date information. Many students face arrest and detention f or political activism\, and in the vast areas of the West Bank under compl ete military occupation it is prohibited for Palestinians to build\, among st other things\, education facilities. These man-made problems have led t o a decimation of the rights of Palestinians to education.\n\nThis is why we need your support. The Right 2 Education campaign is a non-violent\, st udent-led movement based at Birzeit University in the West Bank. We seek t o raise awareness of the issues that Palestinian students face – and in doing so to bring about change. We would like you to organise events at yo ur university to show that those who enjoy the full extent of Article 26 b elieve in its universal application. You will be part of a global movement \, standing up for human rights.\n\nEvents in the past that have proved su ccessful include: debates\, film-screenings\, discussions\, guest lectures \, exhibitions\, video conferences with Palestinian students\, and hosting Palestinian students on a UK tour.\n\nEducation is a right which should b e given to all\; regardless of race or religion.\n\nPlease be in touch by emailing right2education.bzu@gmail.com if you would like to work with us on this most basic of rights\, and we can help you to plan your week and provide you with useful materials.

Because the UN allowed only minimal text (the names of places) to accompany the photographs\, Said and Mohr decided to work together on a n 'interplay'\, as Said put it\, of Said's personal account of Palestinian suffering and exile and Mohr's photographs – 'an unconventional\, hybri d\, and fragmentary [form] of expression' - which they called After the La st Sky (1986).\n \nFor the first time Mohr’s images and Said’s text ar e brought together in the form of an exhibition. Borders\, migrations\, la bour\, displacement\, diaspora and memory percolate through the words and images in After the Last Sky. So too does the symbolic violence of the int imate\, close-up view. The place of the observer – photographer\, resear cher or journalist – becoming a source of debate. Mohr’s photographs are an invitation to look again\, with a critical eye.\n \nAmidst the shif ting lines and technologies of dispossession and occupation\, landscapes h ave been transformed and places have been erased and re-named since Mohr t ook his photographs. Both the text and images in Space & Gaze prompt a dia logue with voluminous images of Palestinian lives that circulate internati onally. Inviting reflections on the changes and continuities that have tak en place over time not only with respect to how Palestinians have been see n\, but also how they have chosen to see and show themselves. The exhibiti on includes contemporary photographers from Palestine – Ahmad Daghlas\, Arine Rinawi\, Fadi Arouri\, Hatem Moussa and Muthanna Al-QadiOn.\n \nOur aim is to extend and develop engagement with this installation through a s eries of workshops and events. We also welcome autonomously organised even ts and responses to the exhibition. \n \nThis exhibition has been financed by the Sociology Department\, the Enterprise Office as well as Goldsmiths ’ inter-disciplinary development.

Instead of helping to bring injustice to an end\, are international activists and NGOs imposing their agendas on Pale stinians?\n\nInspired by a book written by her grandmother about aid proje cts in Palestine\, filmmaker Chloe Ruthven travels to the region to exp lore the effects of foreign aid on a people living under occupation. Alon g the way she meets local activist Lubna Masarwa. She not only becomes he r driver\, guide and fixer\, but also offers a rare insight into the imba lance of power relationships on the ground. Masarwa speaks frankly of he r distaste and distrust of foreign aid\, something that sits uneasily with  Ruthven . She begins to realise that while her film had begun by docum enting a problem\, she herself had become part of that problem. Followed by an audience discussion.\n\nDelicious Middle-Eastern food from the bar!\ n\nDoors open 7pm\, event starts: 7.30pm.

In response\, Chloe employs local activist Lubna to help. An intense friendship develops between them\, as they start document ing the complex and imbalanced relationships that develop between the dono rs and the recipients.\n\n \;\n\nThe screening will be followed by a d iscussion by the director and producer Chloe as well as the local activist Lubna.

In this groundbreaking new work\, Ilan Pappé looks at the continued role of Zionist ideology in the creation of Israel. Join him as he discusses the way Zionism operates outside of the governme nt and military in areas such as the country’s education system\, media\ , and cinema\, and the uses that are made of the Holocaust in supporting t he state’s ideological structure.\n\nIn particular\, Pappé examines the way successive generations of historians have framed the 1948 conflict as a liberation campaign\, creating a foundation myth that went unquestio ned in Israeli society until the 1990s.

He was born in 1 961 in Khan Younis\, southern Gaza. El-Farra is a political and human righ ts activist and a public speaker who has worked for justice for Palestinia ns all his life.\nHe frequently contributes articles to Arabic newspapers on social and political issues. He has also written\, coordinated and narr ated documentary films on Palestine.\n\nEl-Farra took part in a Free Gaza Movement protest to break the Israeli naval siege of the Gaza Strip: on 23 August 2008\, two fishing vessels were the first to enter Gaza port in 41 years.\n\nAbout the book:\n\nThe book is the story of 17 families who los t loved ones\; their pain\, their hopes that were shattered\; the vacuum t hat was created by their loss\; the ordinary life of their kids who played football\; loved animals or music\; have been mischievous\; average or br illiant at school. The book also presents the cases of four people who sur vived the war but ended up suffering severe disabilities. The book also de tails the circumstances of their death or severe injury. The politics are also present in a very clear way.\n\nMusheir tried to ease the trauma of t he stories for the Western readers by linking up the stories with my child hood memories of the Gaza Strip\; how it used to be and how it is now.\n\n He obtained the cases of these victims from Al Dameer Association for Huma n rights in Gaza which prepared a document which represents good ground fo r filing a case against a number of Israeli political and military leaders accusing them of committing war crimes. I went to Gaza twice in December 2100 and 2012\; I interviewed the families of the victims as I wanted to t ouch on the human side as well as the political.\n\nThe book is not a call for revenge but rather for justice for these families as well as hundreds others. It also represents a document which can be used to bring charges of War Crimes which were committed by the Israeli army during the war on t he Gaza Strip".\nThe book was published by Sheffield Palestine Solidarity Campaign. You can purchase the book here.\n\nAll proceeds will go to child ren's projects which Sheffield PSC has been supporting in Jabalia and Nuss airat refugee camps and Khan Younis in the Gaza Strip.\n\nYou can keep tra ck of the event by following @Caabu on Twitter.

From 7 March - 10 May\, 2014\ , Cecile Elise Sabella (2008)\, In Exile (2008)\, Metamorphosis (2012) and 38 Days of Re Collection(2014) will be on display.\n\nHubertus Von Amelu nxen\, writer of Sabella's upcoming monograph to be published by Hatje Can tz and the Academy of the Arts (Sept 2014)\, cites how his collages\, "for m a dazzling tableau of possible transitions and detachment processes betw een world and image\, image and world. Sabella uses photography as an arti stic language of existential exile. His relationship with the medium is pe netrating."\n\nSabella came to terms with his exile preferring to remain i n transition. As Vilém Flusser writes\, "Emigres become free\, not when t hey deny their lost homeland\, but when they come to terms with it". In hi s works\, In Exile\, he gives form to the symptoms or side effects of exil e\, where as in Cecile Elise Sabella\, photographs of his daughter's cloth ing are stitched to canvas mirroring the duality of exile - a simultaneous presence and absence. But\, in Metamorphosis\, he confronts the core comp onents that shaped his feeling of alienation. As he writes\, "The hard wor k was finding how to allow for a new transformation\, while accepting that my DNA will always stay the same." It was through the investigation of hi s state of exile\, a process of self-interrogation and introspection\, tha t Sabella was able to dig deeper into the relationship between images and the reality they create.\n\nSabella is a visual investigator\, researching the origin and function of images. He explores the visual components of t he world by looking into the image itself - much like in scientific resear ch. He studies images\, their characteristics\, the connections between t hem\, and their origin by looking at them directly and not in comparison w ith reality. This has allowed him to discover the infinite realities that are hidden in images. In his work\, he photographs from several different angles\, after which he creates or reveals new forms. Akin to an archeolo gist who is intrigued to find fragments from the past in order to make sen se of history\, Sabella engages in a process of positioning images\, like in a visual puzzle\, to decode the origin of the image and the question of what existed first: the image or the world?\n\nIn 38 Days of Re-Collectio n Sabella lived for 38 days in a Palestinian home occupied by Israelis sin ce 1948. Feeling unsettled\, he tried to make sense of the space by photog raphing it thoroughly\, then collected fragments of paint that were peelin g off the walls of the home he was born in\, and other houses in the Old C ity of Jerusalem. He painted light sensitive B&\;W photo emulsion on th e fragments\, and printed the images he had taken on them. The work explor es the relationship between two realities: one being Israeli colonization and the other being the Palestinian Right of Return. This is the story tha t emerges on the surface of the work. But the visual palimpsest that unfol ds explores\, not just the history of the house in Jerusalem\, but more pr ofoundly the history of the image itself.\nAs Sabella writes\, "I found my self exploring the genealogy of the image."\n\nSteven Sabella\, born in Je rusalem in 1975\, uses photography and photographic installation as his pr inciple modes of expression. He holds two MAs\, one from the University of Westminster and one from Sotheby's Institute of Art in London. He was nom inated for and awarded the Ellen Auerbach Award (2008) by the Akademie der Künste in Berlin and was one of the commissioned artists for the inaugur ation of MATHAF Arab Museum of Modern Art in Doha where he presented a cri tical installation entitled Settlement - Six Israelis &\; One Palestini an.

This is the model that was used even after 1948\, continuing after 1967\, becoming a vast and lucrative real-estate enterprise to house Israe l’s illegal settlers in violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention\, tha t has now built up to fever pitch to deny the Palestinians a sovereign sta te.\n\n \;\n\nThe talk will show how the architecture of the illegal s ettlements and its infrastructure in this land grab were specifically desi gned to dominate\, surveil\, exclude and fragment the West Bank\, warehous ing the Palestinians into mini Bantustans\, using sophisticated methodolog y and techniques.\n\n \;\n\nIt will also explore the strategic E1 se ttlement plan east of Jerusalem (of which Ma'ale Adumim\, where Sodastrea m are based\, is part) and the current effects on the local Bedouin popul ation.\n\n \;\n\nThis meeting is now extremely topical as our speaker  was instrumental in last week's dramatic vote by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA)\, asking for the suspension of its Israeli cou nterpart from the International Union of Architects due to its complicity in illegal settlement construction\, a development that will hopefully als o be discussed.

They are now both wel l established artists living in Dubai and Italy respectively\, regularly e xhibiting in major art fairs\, museums and galleries of the Arab world and beyond. This exhibition seeks to examine the common and disparate element s of their work: those which could be traced back to their roots in Gaza a nd those which disrupted simplistic notions of cultural proximity and reve aled the new and\, often\, alarming.\n\nAser El Saqqa of Arts Canteen\, Lo ndon\, said\, “The range of work in Traces and Revelations is an impress ive one\, it harks back to each artists’ earlier work and past lives. F or both Harb and Joha\, Traces and Revelations opens up an imaginary\, par allel space in which to consider ideas of place\, identity and belonging. ”\n\nOriental Museum Curator\, Dr Craig Barclay\, said\, “It is very e xciting to be able to bring to Durham such compelling work by two wonderfu l artists. It is a great opportunity for our visitors to experience first- hand the creativity and vision of artists from this often misunderstood r egion.”\n\nMohammed Joha and Hazem Harb add something unique to this bod y of work\, bringing their own very human responses to life in Gaza throug h their paintings… Harb and Joha are part of a remarkable genealogy of a rtists who have given us a deep understanding of the inhumanity\, but also the humanity that features in conflict.” Michaela Crimmin\, co-director of Culture+Conflict\, a lecturer and research associate at the Royal Coll ege of Art\, and an independent curator.\n\nTraces and Revelations opens t o the public on Friday\, 4th April\, and runs until Sunday\, 5th October 2 014.

They have all suffered at the hands of the private security firms: G4S in Palestine and Harmondsworth detention centre near Heathrow a irport\; and SERCO at Yarl’s Wood Detention centre.\n\n \;\n\nManche ster City Council has contacts with both G4S and SERCO\n\n \;\n\nWe ar e specifically targeting G4S for its complicity with the criminal practice s of the Israeli state. Palestinians are illegally held\, many without cha rge or trial\, in Israeli jails where physical violence and torture is com monplace. G4S provides services to the Ketziot\, Damon and Meggido prisons and the Jerusalem (Russian Compound) and Kishon (Jalameh) detention facil ities\n\n \;\n\nPalestinian Women Political Prisoners.  \n\nWe will h ighlight the plight of Palestinian women in Israeli prisons and in particu lar Lena Jarboni\, and specifically G4S complicity in their torture and su ffering.\n\nCurrently there are 21 Palestinian women political prisoners i n Israeli prisons. Most of them are in HaSharon prison in Israel . The Bri tish private security contractor G4S provides the full security system at HaSharon including the central command room for the entire prison. The tra nsfer of Palestinian prisoners from the occupied West Bank and Gaza to int o Israel (to HaSharon Prison) is illegal under international law and const itutes a war crime\, G4S is complicit in this by the services it provides to HaSharon Prison.\n\nBefore being brought to prison the women have to en dure weeks\, sometimes months\, of torture at one of Israel's interrogatio n centres to extract confessions from them - usually the infamous 'Russian Compound' in Jerusalem or the notorious Al-Jalame torture den - both thes e facilities are also secured by G4S.\n\nThe occupation has again extended the detention of Palestinian prisoners lawyer Shireen Issawi (and her bro thers Shadi and Medhat)\, she was arrested on 6th March 2014 and her next hearing is on 26th March. We are also campaigning for her (and her brother s) immediate and unconditional release.\n\n \;\n\nYarl’s Wood detent ion centre shames Britain \nHundreds of female asylum-seekers are housed i n Yarl’s Wood. They have done nothing wrong\, so why is the British stat e locking them up?\nWomen detainees and ex-detainees have been coming forw ard to speak out about the abuse they suffered and witnessed\, and to dema nd redress. The racist and sexist regime\, of legal\, psychological and ph ysical abuse which women frequently describe as mental torture at Yarl's W ood\, has been covered up for far too long. The women imprisoned in Yarl ’s Wood are systematically set up for abuse by the fact that they are tr eated as liars\, who must prove themselves truthful whilst being detained indefinitely.\n\nBy law the ‘burden of proof’ in the asylum &\; imm igration system means they are guilty until proven innocent. The women in Yarl’s Wood have between them successfully escaped every kind of abuse a nd violence that women commonly face around the world – rape\, sexual ab use\, forced marriage\, Female Genital Mutilation\, trafficking\, domestic violence\, child abuse\, anti-gay persecution. It is known that violence against women and girls is common worldwide. Yet their claims are routinel y disbelieved\, and their credibility attacked. Is it any surprise that th ey be targeted for sexual abuse by guards in detention? The sexual abuse a nd its cover-up that was publicly exposed by The Observer (14/09/13) are t he inevitable products of this regime.\n\n \;\n\nHarmondsworth Detenti on Centre.\n\n \;\n\nRecently Nasser Al-Mosaawi a Kuwaiti Bedouin was beaten up by G4S guards in front of everyone in Heathrow airport\, while t rying to remove him.\n\n \;\n\nMeanwhile four G4S guards are finally f acing prosecution for the manslaughter of Jimmy Mubenga was unlawfully kil led on a deportation flight to Angola while in the custody of G4S officers who held him down\, impeding his breathing\, and failed to offer resuscit ation when he collapsed.\n\nBut G4S the company will not be charged. That is simply outrageous as the abuse of prisoners by G4S is systematic not si mply a problem of rogue guards.\n\n \;\n\nWhat Can We Do\n\n \;\n\ n Working together\, we can make G4S a live issue in our dealings with Lo cal Authorities\, NHS employers and Commissioners\, or anyone else involve d in procurement. We cannot tolerate a regime in which Best Value means ch eapest\, anti-union\, poor terms and conditions – and conflicts with uni on policies.\n\nGetting rid of G4S will result in real solidarity with Pal estinian Political Prisoners.\n\n \; CATEGORIES:Priority LOCATION:Albert Square\, In front of Manchester Town Hall\, Manchester\, No rth West\, United Kingdom GEO:53.42217729999999;-2.317841499999986 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=In front of Manchester Town Hall\, Manchester\, North West\, United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITL E=Albert Square:geo:53.42217729999999,-2.317841499999986 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:702@palestinecampaign.org DTSTART:20140417T163000Z DTEND:20140417T183000Z DTSTAMP:20140414T095800Z URL:https://palestinecampaign.org/events/protest-g4s-offices-prisoners-day / SUMMARY:Protest G4S offices for Prisoners' Day DESCRIPTION:On Palestinian Prisoners' Day we will be protesting against G4S ' involvement in Israel's abuse of Palestinian Prisoners\n\nMore informati on about our campaign against G4S \n\n \; CATEGORIES:Priority LOCATION:G4S Office \, 105 Victoria Street\, London \, London \, United Ki ngdom GEO:51.496908;-0.1372000000000071 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS= 105 Victoria Street\, Lond on \, London \, United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=G4S Office :geo: 51.496908,-0.1372000000000071 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:766@palestinecampaign.org DTSTART:20140417T190000Z DTEND:20140417T210000Z DTSTAMP:20140401T153711Z URL:https://palestinecampaign.org/events/palestine-101-debunking-misconcep tions/ SUMMARY:Palestine 101: Debunking Misconceptions DESCRIPTION:Have you ever asked yourself or been asked...\n\n"Why boycott I srael?

Amongst the earliest films on Palestine to be w idely seen in the Arab world\, the film was the first to foreground the fa te of those who had remained 'behind' in the occupied homeland. On the eve n of the 1956 Suez War\, Israel imposed a curfew on Palestinians living un der its rule. Unaware of this\, the villagers of Kafr Kassem were met by I sraeli troops on returning from work in the evening. Many were subsequentl y executed in what became known as the Kafr Kassem massacre.  Lebanese di rector Bourhan Alaouie's portrait of village life in the hours leading up to the atrocity is a seminal work of political cinema from the region. Mad e at the height of the Palestinian revolution\, the film was produced and distributed in association with the PLO's Cinema Institution. It indicts a regime of exploitation and violence faced by Palestinians in Israel while calling for a renewal of pan-Arab solidarities and social reform. protago nists.\n\nVENUE MAP TICKETS\n\nPresented by the Association of the Palesti nian Community in the UK and the Palestine Film Foundation.

Whilst Jaffa is still an important centre for Palestinian culture\, gentrification and racist politics are threatening n ow to squeeze out much of the remaining Arab population. The room installa tion includes two short video works\, ‘Jaffa’s Story (and Chubeza)’ a musing about the untold story of Jaffa\; the film ‘Rosetta’\, a walk ing performance by Maram Atouleh\, a young Palestinian teenager\, with a s oundtrack that includes Mahmoud Darwish's reading of his poem The Murdered House.\n\nThe film\, commissioned by the Zochrot organisation\, is screen ed as part of the “See of Sand” installation that is created especiall y for The Gallery space.

Returning in April 2014 \ , She found herself immersed in the ' Bustan qaraaqa' ('Tortoise Garden') permaculture farm project.\n\nBased in Bethlehem in the West Bank\, 'Busta n Qaraaqa 'is a permaculture project promoting sustainable\, creative solu tions to problems of environmental degradation and food and water insecuri ty facing the local community.\n\nShe returned with a portfolio of photogr aphs and a renewed determination to generate greater political awareness o f peace-led projects created in the enclave.\n\n \;\n\nA bit about Art ist Maria Thompson:\n\nShe has been a part-time photographer since 2008.\n \nHer first exhibition was at Red Gate Gallery in Brixton when she produce d 'Comfort in Chaos' in 2009.\n\nThis involved Corset fashion-based portra iture and photographs of 'Akademi' Indian dancers.\n\n \;\n\nDescribed by Red Gate Gallery : " Thompson's work has on the one hand elements of t he burlesque\, yet subtle undertones. On the other hand Thompson was very interested to take ethnicity out of its initial context by photographing I ndian classical dancers within a completely different environment. Stylist ically\, Thompson's work is contemporary and subtle. Her pictorial composi tions are well thought through and introduce the viewer to very interestin g interplays between subject and depth of field."\n\n \;\n\nHer corset fashion images were used by prominent corset-designer Velda Lauder\, and subsequently featured in 'Second Skin' a global art-fashion Book . They we re also used in Velda's autobiography publication 'Corsets\, A modern girl 's guide' and displayed at the Salon International de la Lingerie show in Paris\, 2010.\n\n \; LOCATION:'To The Jungle' (As part of The Invisible Line Gallery)\, 6 Dalst on Lane\, Dalston Junction\, Hackney\, E8\, London \, london\, United King dom GEO:51.5461155;-0.07511069999998199 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=6 Dalston Lane\, Dalston Ju nction\, Hackney\, E8\, London \, london\, United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=1 00;X-TITLE='To The Jungle' (As part of The Invisible Line Gallery):geo:51 .5461155,-0.07511069999998199 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:869@palestinecampaign.org DTSTART:20140705T110000Z DTEND:20140705T120000Z DTSTAMP:20140701T084153Z URL:https://palestinecampaign.org/events/rally-israels-onslaught-palestini ans/ SUMMARY:Rally against Israel's onslaught on the Palestinians DESCRIPTION:Portsmouth and South Down's PSC Rally in Guildhall Square\, Por tsmouth\, 11 am Saturday 5 July  -  Come and join us!  (about an hour)\ n\nTo protest against Israel’s onslaught on the Palestinians  \n\n-  s hootings\, mass arrests\, detention without trial\, bombing and now  -  authority to use torture during interrogations.\n\nIn the last PSDPSC upda te I reported:\n\n“Israel has used the apparent kidnapping of three sett ler teenagers to launch a wave of collective punishment on Palestinians in the West Bank.   Five Palestinians have been shot dead\;  529 have bee n arrested\, including the Speaker and 11 other members of the Legislative Assembly.  Only about 30 are actually being interrogated.  200 of those arrested are held in indefinite “administrative detention”.  Hundred s of homes have been searched\, many ransacked\, and demolishing the homes of suspects is back on the agenda.   This whole campaign seems to be us ing the teenagers’ kidnap as an excuse to humiliate\, weaken and destabi lise the new Palestinian unity government.”\n\nTo this I can now add (Jo nathan Cook reporting from Nazareth\, 28 June):\n\n“Officially reintrodu cing torture\n\nBut with the search proving fruitless\, Israel’s attorne y-general approved the reintroduction of the notorious “ticking bomb” procedure.  In doing so\, he turned the clock back 15 years to a time whe n Israel routinely used torture against prisoners. Israel may not have bee n alone then in using torture\, but it was exceptional in flaunting its to rture dungeons alongside claims to democratic conduct.  Only in 1999 did the country’s supreme court severely limit the practice\, allowing inter rogators one exemption: a suspect could be tortured only if he was a ticki ng bomb\, hiding information of an attack whose immediate extraction could save lives.\n\nNow Israel’s law chief has agreed that the Palestinian p oliticians\, journalists and activists swept up in the latest mass arrests will be treated as “ticking bombs”. Israel’s torture cells are back in business.”\n\nI will bring leaflets for distribution\, a banner and a megaphone so we can tell the public what is going on in Palestine.  Wit h all the news from Iraq there is not much in the media on the Israeli act ion.\nSee you there on Saturday!

Last summer the European U21 cup was held in Israel. A month before the tournament\, on a rainy May evening\, six young activists infiltrated an important UEFA event and staged a creative\, sat irical stunt. Two protestors got on stage to hand UEFA's chairman\, Michel Platini\, a surprise award in which we 'congratulated' him for his compli city in Israel's breaches of international law by allowing the country to host the tournament.\n\nTwo filmmakers\, who also infiltrated the ceremony \, captured events on camera but unfortunately their equipment was seized and they were arrested. What followed was four months of legal battles bef ore UEFA agreed to drop the charges providing that the footage be destroye d. The hard work and success of the creative protest was crushed and not a llowed to enter the public domain. In essence\, the right to protest and e xpose corruption in the international game was prohibited.\n\nAgainst a ba ckdrop of the most politicised World Cup yet\, Clipped Film Festival was e stablished in order to further inform audiences of the beautiful and ugly parts of football\, and provide inspiration to those attempting to recreat e a better world through the game. Proceeds of the festival will contribut e to paying the legal fees accumulated in fighting the case against UEFA w hich ended with the release of the filmmakers without trial.\n\nOrder tick ets and donate online:\nhttp://www.eventbrite.com/e/clipped-football-forum -tickets-11971171095?aff=efbevent\n(suggested donation £5 for one day\, £15 for whole festival pass)\n\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/events /462883960523354/?ref=ts&\;fref=ts\n\nWebsite: http://clippedfootballfo rum.org/\n\nLocation: School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS)\, Bloo msbury\n\nSee below for the full programme.

People in the UK and around the world have woken up to Is rael’s war crimes. This is when we need to act. PSC is holding a series of interactive workshops and meetings over the next few weeks and months t o build an activist community and collectively decide on which direction w e should be going in and what actions we should take.\n\nThe first of thes e workshops is this Thursday 14th August in the evening. There will be a s hort introduction from Palestine Solidarity Campaign speakers\, but mostly this is where we say it’s over to you. After the protests\, and after t he outrage about Gaza has died down\, what should be our next steps? What else is going on that you might want to be involved in? We want to hear yo ur ideas. And we want to keep building our strong activist community.\n\nI f you are interested in getting involved in these events\, including comin g to the event this Thursday 14th August please email rachel.diamond@pales tinecampaign.org as soon as possible to RSVP and get the details.

Why has the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) felt forced to issue another appeal? It’s a scandal that\, while  £3.4b was promised by international donors to help rebuild Gaza\,  these governmen ts have dismally failed to spend more than a tiny proportion – the UK Go vernment promised £20 m – not much for a nation with a historic respons ibility for the situation – but has only spent a quarter. Surgeons from Kings at Camberwell have been working in Gaza trying to repair a little of the human damage done by the Israelis but now the funding for that projec t is at an end.\n\nIsrael has created a humanitarian catastrophe. It’s b lockade continues to kill hundreds of children. Western governments’ co mplicity compounds this.  Six months on from the war we must not let the people of Gaza be forgotten.\n\n Urgently write to your MPs – they are s till responsible until May. Write to the parliamentary candidates. Demand an answer to why even the miserly promise of £20m has not been met.\n Lam beth &\; Wandsworth PSC ‘s campaign stall in Brixton on Saturday Marc h 7th 11.30 – 1.00 will be publicising the desperate plight of the Gazan s.

Apparently the military court had decided that 25 stones were thrown\, ea ch with an "intent to kill". The five boys have been illegally transferred to Israel\, in contravention of Article 76 of the Fourth Geneva Conventio n\, to Megiddo prison where G4S provides the entire central command room.

Israel takes part in over 800 schemes with European universities and companies\, with a total value of €4.3 billion. By 2013 it’s expected that Israel will have received more than €500 million w orth of EU grants. People should be outraged that Ireland’s European Com mission representative\, Máire Geoghegan-Quinn\, is administering these grants. Among the beneficiaries are arms-makers like Elbit and IAI\, who p roduce the pilotless drones and warplanes regularly used in attacking the people of Gaza.\n\nDavid Cronin advices us to\n\nget involved with your n earest Palestine solidarity group\, get active in the Boycott\, Divestmen t and Sanctions movement.

The Palestinian singer\, mult i-instrumentalist\, composer and producer has over the past few years coll aborated in many music projects\, released a debut album and founded eka3 (2007)\, a regional platform dedicated to promoting\, producing\, distribu ting\, and touring independent Arabic music.\n\nTamer Abu Ghazaleh’s deb ut album Mir’ah (Mirror) was released in 2008. Recorded with a group of Palestinian and Egyptian performers\, the record’s seven turbulent\, ent rancing and sometimes frenzied songs were written during a turbulent perio d of demonstrations\, bombardment and invasion of Palestinian cities. Comp osed during curfews\, the album expresses everyday human emotions – love \, hate\, comfort\, boredom\, excitement – that were informed by the unr eal experience of living in Palestine during that period. While he has bee n touring his own music throughout 2012 at sold-out concerts in Beirut\, A lexandria\, Cairo\, Amman and Tunis\, Tamer Abu Ghazaleh has been an activ e musical collaborator for many years.\n\nProjects include: starting the c ross-genre group Kazamada (2010)\; working with Palestinian &\; Egyptia n artists on Jehar (with Huda Asfour)\, Duo Buzuq (with Rabea Jubran) and Kalam Mazzika (with Salam Yousry)\; and performing on Khaled Jubran’s Ps alms (2005). In 2008\, Tamer released Thawret Ala (Revolution of Worry)\, a collaborative piece of musical theatre that was performed by the Al- Tam ye Theatre Group.\n\nTamer Abu Ghazaleh was born in Cairo 1986 to an exile d Palestinian family. He started singing and performing at the age of two\ , and composing at the age of nine. In 1998 Tamer and his family managed t o return to their homeland to live in Ramallah\, where he started his acad emic music education at the National Conservatory of Music (now Edward Sai d Conservatory). There he studied oud\, buzuq\, music theory\, history\, a nalysis\, composition\, orchestration and performance\, under the supervis ion of renowned Palestinian musician Khaled Jubran.\n\nTamer Abu Ghazaleh is currently touring while preparing his second album and producing the mu sic of a number of talented Egyptian musicians. He is also one of the key members of the new pan-Arabic Alif Ensemble.\n47 Soul\nThe members of 47 S oul are rooted in Bilad Al-Sham\, spanning the divides from Amman to the G alilee\, the Golan Heights to Ramallah.

A group o f armed men seek sanctuary in one of the world’s holiest sites as the Is raeli army closes in with helicopters\, tanks and snipers. Along with the fighters are some 200 priests\, nuns and civilians. The siege lasts for 3 9 days\, paralyzing the center of Bethlehem and keeping tens of thousands under curfew. Inside the Church of Nativity the besieged are hungry and we akening. The smell of unwashed bodies and broken lavatories is mixed with the stench from the suppurating wounds of the injured. Two dead bodies are decomposing in a cave below the church. While the world is watching\, th e fighters are faced with the question of whether to struggle to the end o r to surrender. No matter what they choose\, they will have to leave the ir families and their homeland behind forever.\nWhile some might call the siege a desecration of a holy place\, others view it as a continuation of the church's ancient tradition of offering sanctuary to those who ask for protection. The production raises important questions about strategies of resistance against military might and gives a unique insight into the Pal estinian armed resistance and the struggle for freedom.\nThe Siege will be directed by Palestinian theatre director Nabil Al-Raee and British theatr e director Zoe Lafferty\, who\npreviously collaborated on Sho Kman?\, a cr itically acclaimed production that opened in Jenin and went on to tour to Germany\, France\, Switzerland and Austria. The piece will be developed an d devised by The Freedom Theatre actors\, a unique ensemble who use cultur e as a form of resistance and who have grown up during the second Intifada and lived under occupation their whole lives.\n\nTour Dates\nTHE LOWRY (M anchester) 13th - 14th May\nLAKESIDE THEATRE (Colchester) 16th May\nBAC (L ondon) 19th - 23rd May\nTHE HUB (Leeds) 26th May\nST MARY IN THE CASTLE (H astings) 28th May\nTHE MERLIN (Frome) 30th May\nBIRMINGHAM REP (Birmingham ) 4th - 6th June\nNOTTINGHAM PLAYHOUSE (Nottingham) 10th - 11th June\nTHE CUT (Halesworth) 13th June\nTHE TRON (Glasgow) 17th - 20th June\nFor more information and to book tickets please visit:\nhttp://www.thefreedomtheatr eukfriends.com/#!about2/c2448 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:1248@palestinecampaign.org DTSTART:20150516T110000Z DTEND:20150516T130000Z DTSTAMP:20150505T090751Z URL:https://palestinecampaign.org/events/commemorating-67th-anniversary-na kba/ SUMMARY:Commemorating the 67th Anniversary of The Nakba DESCRIPTION:Join Nottingham Palestine Solidarity Campaign to protest commem orating the 67th anniversary of The Nakba CATEGORIES:Priority LOCATION:Old market square Nottingham\, Old market Square Nottingham \, Not tingham \, NG1 2BY\, United Kingdom GEO:52.953141;-1.1514422000000195 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Old market Square Nottingha m \, Nottingham \, NG1 2BY\, United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Old market square Nottingham:geo:52.953141,-1.1514422000000195 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:1263@palestinecampaign.org DTSTART:20150516T173000Z DTEND:20150516T193000Z DTSTAMP:20150513T123539Z URL:https://palestinecampaign.org/events/london-nakba-commemoration/ SUMMARY:London Nakba commemoration DESCRIPTION:Palestinian Forum in Britain (PFB) and the Palestinian Return C entre (PRC)\, supported by PSC\, are organising a London Picket to Commemo rate 67th Nakba Anniversary.

Shot almost entirely by Palestinian fa rmer Emad Burnat\, who bought his first camera in 2005 to record the birth of his youngest son\, the footage was later given to Israeli co-director Guy Davidi to edit. Structured around the violent destruction of each one of Burnat's cameras\, the filmmakers' collaboration follows one family's evolution over five years of village turmoil. Burnat watches from behind t he lens as olive trees are bulldozed\, protests intensify\, and lives are lost. "I feel like the camera protects me\," he says\, "but it's an illus ion."  - IMdB\n '5 Broken Cameras is a polemical work and in no sense analytical.

Your support and solidarity is just as important today as it was last year.\n\nSlough PSC are hosting an evening of remembrance and wil l be showing the brilliant film 'Where Should The Birds Fly?' by Fida Qish ta\, reserve your place now.\n\nWhere Should The Birds Fly is the first fi lm about Gaza made by Palestinians living the reality of Israel’s siege and blockade of this tiny enclave.   It is the story of two young women\ , survivors of Israel’s Operation Cast Lead. Mona Samouni\, now 12 years old and the filmmaker\, Fida Qishta\, now 27\, represent the spirit and f uture of Palestinians. The film is a visual documentation of the Goldstone Report. But it is so much more.  It reveals the strength and hope\, the humanity and humour that flourishes among the people of Gaza. Few films do cument so powerfully and personally the impact of modern warfare and sanct ions on a civilian population.\n\nThe film itself breaks the blockade.  F ilmmakers in Gaza have never had the opportunity to make a full length\, p rofessional documentary of their reality.  Fida Qishta\, born and raised in Rafah\, Gaza\, began her filmmaking career as a wedding videographer\, and soon moved on to working with international human rights observers in Gaza\, documenting day to day life under siege.  Her commentary on the si ege was published in The International Herald Tribune.  Her video reports of Operation Cast Lead were published widely including in the UK newspape r The Guardian and in their weekly news magazine\, The Observer.\n\n"Just returned a few days ago from a visit to Gaza. A memorable\, in fact shatte ring\, experience. And reveals graphically much of what your film describe s.” Noam Chomsky\n\n"There was a film showing\, Where Should The Birds F ly. I thought I knew what was going on. Shocked as anybody could be at the appalling situation. We've heard a lot about the appalling situation\, bu t the film says it all." Michael Mansfield at the Russell Tribunal on Pale stine.\n\nView the trailer here: http://stopwar.org.uk/videos/where-should -the-birds-fly-film-trailer-documentary-about-gaza-made-by-palestinians\n\ nFor more information and to book contact Slough PSC: sloughpsc@gmail.com and https://www.facebook.com/SloughPSC\n\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://palestinecampaign.org/wp-content/uploads /2015/07/unnamed.jpg CATEGORIES:Priority LOCATION:\, \, X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=\, ;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TI TLE=:geo:0,0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:1336@palestinecampaign.org DTSTART:20150723T180000Z DTEND:20150723T210000Z DTSTAMP:20150723T080636Z URL:https://palestinecampaign.org/events/solidarity-for-palestine-an-eveni ng-of-fundraising-for-psc/ SUMMARY:Solidarity for Palestine - an evening of fundraising for PSC DESCRIPTION:Tickets sales for this event have now closed.\n\nCome and share a three course meal\, listen to speeches\, and be inspired to donate to o ur fundraising appeal\n\n\nSpeakers include:\n\n Diane Abbott\, Labour MP for Hackney North and Stoke Newington\n Salim Alam\, PSC\n Prof Manuel Has sassian\, Ambassador from Palestine to London\n Diana Neslen\, Jews for Ju stice for Palestinians\n\nWith an appeal by Ajmal Masroor\n\nTickets sales for this event have now closed.\n\nHowever\, if you still wish to donate you can do so using the form below.

Thales is therefore a major target in the STOP ARMING ISRAEL campaig n.\n\nWe are calling on campaigning groups in London and the South East to endorse\, publicise and come along to this demonstration to give a clear message to Thales that:\n\n they are complicit in Israel's war crimes agai nst the Palestinian people through their joint enterprise with Israeli arm s company Elbit Systems\n arms manufacturers are not welcome in our commun ities.\n\nWhy Thales?\n\nThe UK’s Watchkeeper drone has been developed u nder a £1 billion joint venture contract awarded by the Ministry of Defen ce to Thales UK and Israel’s Elbit Systems\, allowing the UK military to benefit from technologies that have been ‘field tested’ on the Palest inians.\n\nThe Crawley factory is one of Thales’s largest facilities in the UK.\n\nThe Watchkeeper drone project illustrates the collaboration bet ween the UK government and Israel\, and the joint working between private arms companies from both countries.\n\nThe demo outside the Thales arms fa ctory in Crawley on April 8th will be an important part of the campaign fo r a two-way arms embargo against Israel\, as called for by the Palestinian BDS National Committee:\n\n“A comprehensive military embargo on Israel is long overdue. It would form a crucial step towards ending Israel’s un lawful and criminal use of force against the Palestinian people and other peoples and states in the region and would constitute an effective\, non-v iolent measure to pressure Israel to comply with its obligations under int ernational law.” http://bdsmovement.net/activecamps/military-embargo\n\n We’re relaying the call-out to all affiliated networks\, especially in s outheast England – trade unions\, faith groups\, students\, human rights and antiracist groups. We’re hoping for a great turnout.\n\nThese are c ritical times for Palestinians.There is evidence that Israel\, supported b y its ever-belligerent US backers\, is planning another murderous attack o n defenceless Gaza civilians\, in tandem with its brutal attacks on Palest inian resistance in the Occupied West Bank.\n\nBring banners and other dis plays for a lively visual impact at the factory’s surrounding fence!\n\n Stay tuned to the Sussex Stop Arming Israel website for further details an d thanks for your support.\n\n \; CATEGORIES:Priority LOCATION:Hamilton House Gallery\, \, X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=\, ;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TI TLE=Hamilton House Gallery:geo:0,0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:1525@palestinecampaign.org DTSTART:20160410T193000Z DTEND:20160410T223000Z DTSTAMP:20160415T115108Z URL:https://palestinecampaign.org/events/mohammed-assaf-in-london/ SUMMARY:Mohammed Assaf in London DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMohammed Assaf Barbican 10.04.16\n\n\n \;\n Palestine’s biggest pop star sings material from his newest album alongs ide familiar favourites from his time on TV talent show\, Arab Idol.\n\nPr oduced by the Barbican in association with Marsm\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nHis songs vary from ballads of faith and freedom – effortlessly sung with immense power\, to syncopated\, shuffling pop\, heavily influenced b y the Egyptian dance music scene and backed by swirling strings and percus sion.\n\nHis rags-to-riches story\, reminiscent of a Hollywood block buste r\, has been made into a film\, The Idol\, released in 2015\, but it’s h is raw talent and sincerity which really makes his appeal international.\n \n\n\n\n\n\nBUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n LOCATION:Barbican Centre\, Silk Street EC2Y 8DS\, London\, London\, United Kingdom GEO:51.5198644;-0.09169889999998304 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Silk Street EC2Y 8DS\, Lon don\, London\, United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Barbican Centre:g eo:51.5198644,-0.09169889999998304 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:1526@palestinecampaign.org DTSTART:20160412T183000Z DTEND:20160412T183000Z DTSTAMP:20160415T115108Z URL:https://palestinecampaign.org/events/apartheid-south-africa-and-palest ine/ SUMMARY:Talk: Apartheid South Africa and Palestine DESCRIPTION:Hear first hand accounts from UNITE and PSC's recent delegation to Palestine.\n\n\n\n \; LOCATION:duke's @ komedia\, \, X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=\, ;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TI TLE=duke's @ komedia:geo:0,0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:1520@palestinecampaign.org DTSTART:20160416T123000Z DTEND:20160416T160000Z DTSTAMP:20160415T115107Z URL:https://palestinecampaign.org/events/palestine-prisoners-parade/ SUMMARY:Palestine Prisoners' Parade DESCRIPTION:On the occasion of Prisoners’ Day\, we invite you to join us marching in solidarity with all Palestinians currently languishing in Isra eli \njails.  Since the occupation of 1967\, an estimated 800\,000 Palest inians\, roughly 20% of the population\, have been imprisoned by the occup ying authorities. They have been systematically denied the right to a fair trial\, as well adequate health care\, access to education\, and the righ t to family visits. Israeli torture of Palestinian political prisoners has historically been endemic and various forms of physical and psychological torture continues to date. On this year’s Prisoners’ Day\, Israel hol ds approximately 7\,000 Palestinian political prisoners\, among them 406 c hildren and 60 women\, as well as 670 so called administrative detainees\, who are held for months and years without charge or trial.\nIsrael has ra mped up arrests since October 2015\, following the renewal of large-scale demonstrations across the Occupied Territories. The latest escalation in v iolence unfolds against the backdrop of unrelenting Israeli land confiscat ion and settlement construction\, accompanied by ongoing violence and inti midation by Israeli soldiers and armed settlers.  In an outrage that reve rberated across Palestinian society\, Israeli settlers in July 2015 brutal ly burned an entire family in their home\, the Dawabshehs\, in the West Ba nk village of Duma. A badly burnt 4 year old son was the only survivor.\nI srael’s mass incarceration of Palestinians is an inextricable part of th e ongoing violence of occupation.  Tearing at the fabric of Palestinian s ociety\, recent arrest campaigns seek to quash Palestinian ability to endu re in their struggles against the occupation. It is important that on Pale stinian Prisoners’ day\, we all stand united to call for an end to Israe li violations of Palestinian rights.  As Israel acts with ever growing co ntempt for international law and the will of the international community\, action is now needed more than ever.  We demand that our Government puts pressure on Israel to refrain from abuses against Palestinians\, includin g sweeping arrest campaigns and violations of prisoners’ rights\, and to hold Israeli government accountable for its violations of international l aw.\nWe encourage as many people as possible to come dressed as clowns or with circus/ musical instruments\, in keeping with the campaign for Abu Sa kha\, a Palestinian clown who is being held in administrative detention - and to have a louder/ more dramatic impact!

Awad comes here at a critical moment. Hanee n Zoabi MK and one other NDA member of the Knesset have been accused of su pporting terrorism and banned from sitting in the Knesset. These are repre sentatives of one and a quarter million Palestinians living inside Israeli borders. The Zionists clearly have the Joint List of Palestinians in thei r sights. Many fear that they will wield their majority vote to expel the entire Joint List\, ending any Palestinian presence in the Israeli parliam ent.\n\nThe Zionists’ attempts to ban the political representatives of 2 0% of the people inside their state\, show their claims that Israel is the only democratic country in the Middle East to be patently false.\n\nAwad will explain the background to this parliamentary crisis and the brutal re ality for Palestinians living within the borders of Israel. The British go vernment is complicit in this situation. Its role in supporting the Israel i state in the oppression of the Palestinian people is well known: it buys \, sells and develops the weapons that are then tested on Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank\, as well as others throughout the Middle East.\n\n Awad represents a number of committed\, brave people who are determined to fight back.

The event is part of the Nakba week of action that commemorates the 68th anniversary of the Palestinians’ loss of land when the state o f Israel was created in 1948.  This loss\, known by Palestinians as the N akba or ‘catastrophe’\, involved the dispossession and removal of the native Palestinian population from their towns and villages.\n\nSpeakers w ill include Haya al Farra from the Palestinian Mission in the UK and Profe ssor Bill Williamson\, a Trustee of the Durham Palestine Educational Trust at Durham University and Chairperson of Palestine Solidarity Campaign\, C ounty Durham.\n\nProfessor Williamson said\, “For most Palestinians the Nakba has continued. In 1967 Israel occupied the rest of Palestine\, annex ing East Jerusalem and Syria’s Golan Heights and Palestinians continue t o suffer through Israeli violence and their development of illegal settlem ents.

Some 500 villages were destroyed in a premeditated campaign\, a nd their inhabitants never allowed to return. Zionist militias\, who later became the Israeli Defence Force\, committed massacres in Deir Yassin\, L ydda\, Tantura and dozens of other Palestinian communities.\n\nA critical understanding of the Nakba is essential as it continues to shape Palestini ans’ experience.

In this rich and moving memoir\, Abu Sitta draws on oral histories an d personal recollections to vividly evoke the vanished world of his family and home from the late nineteenth century to the eve of the British withd rawal from Palestine and subsequent war. Alongside accounts of an idyllic childhood spent on his family’s farm estate Abu Sitta gives a personal a nd very human face to the dramatic events of 1930s and 1940s Palestine\, c onveying the acute sense of foreboding felt by Palestinians as Zionist amb itions and militarization expanded under the mandate. Following his family ’s flight to Gaza during the 1948 mass exodus of Palestinians from their homes\, Abu Sitta continued his schooling and university education in Cai ro\, where he witnessed the heady rise of Arab nationalism after the overt hrow of King Farouk in 1952 and the momentous events surrounding the Israe li invasion of Sinai and Gaza in 1956. With warmth and humor\, he chronicl es his peripatetic exile’s existence\, as an engineering student in Nass er’s Egypt\, his crucial\, formative years in 1960s London\, his life as a family man and academic in Canada\, and several sojourns in Kuwait\, al l against the backdrop of seismic political events in the region\, includi ng the 1967 and 1973 Arab-Israeli wars\, the 1982 Israeli invasion of Leba non\, and the 1991 Gulf War. Abu Sitta’s narrative is imbued throughout with a burning sense of justice\, a determination to recover and document what rightfully belongs to his people\, an aim given poignant expression i n his painstaking cartographic and archival work on Palestine\, for which he is justifiably acclaimed.\n\nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/book-launch -seminar-mapping-my-return-a-palestinian-memoir-by-dr-salman-abu-sitta-tic kets-24423732040\n\nMon 16 May 2016\n18:30–20:30\nKhalili Lecture Theatr e\,\nSOAS University of London\,\nThornhaugh Street\,\nRussell Square\, Lo ndon\, WC1H 0XG ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://palestinecampaign.org/wp-content/uploads /mapping-my-return-poster-A3-v3-213x300.jpg LOCATION:Khalili Lecture Theatre\, SOAS \, Thornhaugh St\, London\, WC1H 0X G\, London \, United Kingdom GEO:51.53023;-0.1147504000000481 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Thornhaugh St\, London\, WC 1H 0XG\, London \, United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Khalili Lectu re Theatre\, SOAS :geo:51.53023,-0.1147504000000481 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:1568@palestinecampaign.org DTSTART:20160516T190000Z DTEND:20160516T190000Z DTSTAMP:20160513T094031Z URL:https://palestinecampaign.org/events/13472/ SUMMARY:Meeting: Cambridge PSC with Awad Abdel Fattah DESCRIPTION:Cambridge PalSoc and Cambridge PSC event.\n\nwith ODS (One Dem ocratic State)\, Awad AbdelFattah General Secretary of the Palestinian N ational Democratic Assembly (NDA) and Karl Sabbagh.\n\nChairperson of the event is Ruba Salih\, Reader at SOAS\, University of London\n\n \; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://palestinecampaign.org/wp-content/uploads /Cambridge.jpg LOCATION:Friends Meeting House\, 12 Jesus Lane \, Cambridge\, United Kingdo m GEO:52.2082201;0.11988550000000942 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=12 Jesus Lane \, Cambridge\ , United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Friends Meeting House:geo:52.2 082201,0.11988550000000942 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:1569@palestinecampaign.org DTSTART:20160517T190000Z DTEND:20160517T190000Z DTSTAMP:20160517T123400Z URL:https://palestinecampaign.org/events/13363/ SUMMARY:Talk: Awad Abdel Fattah DESCRIPTION:Nakba week talk with Awad AbdelFattah\, General Secretary of th e Palestinian National Democratic Assembly and Philipa Harvey (Ex-Preside nt NUT). Hosted by Lambeth and Wandsworth PSC Groups\n\n\n\n \; LOCATION:Kennington Park Community Centre\, Harleyford Road \, London \, Un ited Kingdom GEO:51.4851612;-0.1194777000000613 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Harleyford Road \, London \ , United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Kennington Park Community Cent re:geo:51.4851612,-0.1194777000000613 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:1570@palestinecampaign.org DTSTART:20160519T190000Z DTEND:20160519T190000Z DTSTAMP:20160513T094858Z URL:https://palestinecampaign.org/events/meeting-manchester-psc-and-awad-a bdel-fattah/ SUMMARY:Meeting: Manchester PSC and Awad Abdel Fattah DESCRIPTION:Meeting with Awad Abdel Fattah\, General Secretary of the Pales tinian National Democratic Assembly (NDA)\, hosted by Manchester PSC\, wit h Bernard Regan.

Its technology and equipment facilitate both the illegal Israeli occupation and apartheid\, especially through the develop ment of its biometric system used for population and territorial control a nd surveillance of Palestinians both inside Israel and in the occupied Pal estinian territory.\n\n The Checkpoints – HP’s Basel system is insta lled at the Israeli military checkpoints in the occupied West Bank. This d eprive Palestinians of freedom of movement in violation of international l aw. When the Presbyterian Church wrote to the company about this\, it repl ied saying that this: ‘reduc(es) friction between Palestinians and Israe li soldiers at barrier checkpoints while expediting the passage process’ .[1]\n The Israeli Military – HP provided the IT infrastructure for th e Israeli Navy\, thereby helping to enforce the blockade of Gaza\, and sup plies the computer systems for the Ministry of Defence.\n The settlements  – HP employs settlers in Beithar Illit and provides services and techn ologies to two of the largest in the occupied West Bank (Modi’in Illit a nd Ariel).\n Biometric ID cards – occupied territories – HP facilita tes Israeli control of the Palestinian population of the occupied West Ban k with its biometric identification of Palestinian civilians. The ID numbe rs for these Green cards that bear the PNA insignia are assigned by Israel \, which controls the Palestinian population registry.\n Biometric ID car ds – citizens of Israel – HP facilitates Israeli apartheid with the d evelopment of its biometric system that differentiates between Palestinian and Jewish citizens of Israel\, among other ethnicities and religions. In other words\, “this system takes to a new level of technology the strat ification of citizenship rights.”\n Certainly in 2012\, the HP Labs bas ed at Technion University (Haifa) was its largest centre for research and development. (Technion itself is considered highly complicit in the Occupa tion and the Siege and attacks on Gaza being a base for research and devel opment for a wide range of military equipment\, with close links to Rafael Advanced Defence Systems and Elbit Systems. (working mainly on surveillan ce and attack drones.[2]Further information is available from ‘Who Profi ts’.[3]\n\n \;\n\n[1] https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/adri-nieu whof/hp-spins-israeli-checkpoints-role-reducing-friction-Palestinians\n\n[ 2] http://www.alaraby.co.uk/english/features/2014/11/9/the-technion-an-eli te-university-for-israeli-student-soldiers\n\n[3] http://whoprofits.org/co mpany/hewlett-packard-hp  ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://palestinecampaign.org/wp-content/uploads /HP-Graph.jpg CATEGORIES:Priority END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:1605@palestinecampaign.org DTSTART:20160604T130000Z DTEND:20160604T150000Z DTSTAMP:20160603T140843Z URL:https://palestinecampaign.org/events/justice-palestinian-children/ SUMMARY:Justice for Palestinian children DESCRIPTION:\n\nWe are holding an event to raise awareness about the fact t hat Palestinian children can be sentenced to 10 years in prison for throwi ng a stone.

The stone elements are shaped by both innovative and traditional techniques: they are designed on a computer\, cut by robots and hand-finished by local artisans.\n\nThe process of ‘st ereotomy’\, the art of cutting stones so they can be assembled into a la rger configuration\, enables the lace-like structure to support itself. Mo reover\, lace-like gaps between the stones allow the viewer to look out\, while being encouraged to imagine the installation’s eventual\, natural surroundings through evocative sound and video components.\n\nWhile We Wai t is inspired by the Cremisan Valley\, near Bethlehem\, where the separati on wall is currently being built\, threatening to sever the historic link between the valley and its monastery. In contrast to wall\, which divides the landscape\, this installation will venerate extreme natural beauty and evoke the Cremisan Valley itself\, its eventual home.\n\nFollowing its un veiling as part of London Design Festival\, the installation will tour to Concrete\, a multi-disciplinary space in Alserkal Avenue\, Dubai from 6-18 November 2017\, where it will be on display as part of Dubai Design Week and then move permanently to the Cremisan Valley. To activate its function a cultural programme will be co-created with the local community in the C remisan Valley exploring some of the themes of the installation\, and acti ng as a lived monument and gathering space owned by the community.\n\nFree Event.

DESCRIPTION:Frome in Palestine 1917-1948. Important exhibition opens on Oct ober 18\n\nFrome Friends of Palestine are proud to announce the opening of an important and innovative exhibition that puts the town at the heart of history.\n\nThe exhibition will be at the Silk Mill Gallery\, and will ru n from Wednesday October 18 until Tuesday October 31. Hours 11am - 7pm\, a dmission free.\n\nThere will be a simple cafe\, and a range of interesting things to do as well as things to look at.\n\n"From our next bivouac we c ould look across miles of ground and see the town of Gaza in the distance. This looked a very nice place\, there was plenty of green about it. The h ouses painted white showed up with the tall mosque in the centre of it. We were near and yet so far from it\, and in the space between some thousand s of lives were to be lost. We were in the second battle of Gaza\, and it was pretty hot stuff. The guns were going at it all day long\, and it was a perfect din. But still Gaza remains in the distance."\n\nThese words wer e written 100 years ago by a Frome man called Corporal Frank Phillips. He grew up at Badcox\, where his parents ran the Swan Inn\, and before he wen t to war he'd been a printers' reader at Butler and Tanner. In 1917 he was a medical assistant\, serving with the [SLI] in Palestine\, and in Novemb er he was killed by a direct hit from a shell.\n\nFrank was one of many pe ople with Frome connections who were caught up in Britain's thirty-year oc cupation of Palestine. Huge numbers of British people served there - well over 100\,000 in 1946. A lot of peoples' lives were touched by the experie nce. This autumn marks the centenary of two major events: the signing of t he Balfour Declaration\, and the British conquest of Jerusalem. We're usin g these anniversaries to tell the story of Britain's time in Palestine\, w ith the emphasis on the lives and memories of people who had relatives tha t were involved in it. As well as photographs we'll be displaying some int eresting family heirlooms.\n\nSpecial Evening Events:\n\nWednesday October 18 - ‘A fateful enterprise: the “Balfour” letter and its consequen ces’\n\nAfter the formal opening of the Frome in Palestine exhibition by Lord Oxford\, whose father served in Palestine and features in the displa y\, we'll be having a talk by Dr Peter Shambrook. A specialist in Modern M iddle Eastern history\, Peter's current research is focused on British gov ernment policy regarding the McMahon-Hussein Correspondence. He is Histori cal Consultant to The Balfour Project.\n\nThe 1917 Balfour Declaration is widely regarded as one of the most formative and far-reaching documents in the modern history of the Middle East. For Israelis\, the Declaration was the foundation stone upon which the Jewish State was established in 1948\ , following the Holocaust. On the other hand\, for Palestinians the Declar ation was an immoral\, colonial document which led directly to the destruc tion of Palestinian society and their dispossession in 1948.

On November 2\, 1917\, the British government\, represented by Foreign Minis ter Arthur Balfour\, declared that they were in favor of “the establishm ent in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people.” This short n ote would be one of the most controversial documents of its time. A hundre d years after its signing\, Bernard Regan recasts the history of the Balfo ur Declaration as one of the major events in the story of the Middle East. Offering new insights into the imperial rivalries between Britain\, Germa ny and the Ottomans\,Regan exposes British policy in the region as part of a larger geopolitical game. Yet\, even then\, the course of events was no t straightforward and Regan charts the debates within the British governme nt and the Zionist movement itself on the future of Palestine. The book al so provides a revealing account of life in Palestinian society at the time \, paying particular attention to the responses of Palestinian civil socie ty to the imperial machinations that threatened their way of life. Not jus t a history of states and policies\, Regan manages to brilliantly present both a history of people under colonialism and an account of the colonizer s themselves.\n\nOrganised by Nottingham PSC: Email\nTwitter: @NottsPSC\n Facebook page LOCATION:Mechanics Institute\, 3 North Sherwood Street \, Nottingham\, NG1 4EZ\, United Kingdom GEO:52.958124;-1.1514700000000175 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=3 North Sherwood Street \, Nottingham\, NG1 4EZ\, United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Mechanics Institute:geo:52.958124,-1.1514700000000175 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:1968@palestinecampaign.org DTSTART:20171020T191500Z DTEND:20171020T213000Z DTSTAMP:20171009T163958Z URL:https://palestinecampaign.org/events/public-event-david-sheen-asa-wins tanley/ SUMMARY:Public Event\; with David Sheen and Asa Winstanley DESCRIPTION:\n\nJoin Luton PSC for this event with David Sheen\, an indepe ndent journalist and film maker born and raised in Canada\, now living in and reporting from Israel.

The failure to uphold this second clause\, for which Britain bears much responsibility\, has caused conflict between Palestinians and Israelis ever since.\n\nThis was just one of Britain’s contradictory pro mises during the First World War. After the War we secured a mandate from the League of Nations which included a ‘sacred trust’ to prepare the p eople of Palestine for independence. But in the end Britain walked away.\n \nThe British Government recognises the right of both Israelis and Palesti nians to self-determination. Israelis have achieved this. Now is the time to help Palestinians achieve this\, in cooperation with both peoples and t he rest of the international community.\n\nACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND COMMITMENT\ n\nIt will mean committing ourselves to work for peace with justice in the region on the basis of equal rights for both Israelis and Palestinians. I t entails upholding international law\, including the Geneva Conventions\, without fear or favour. This is a huge\, long-term challenge. Governments will only take it on if their citizens do so first. If Britain gives a le ad\, others will follow.\n\nThis Centenary event is an opportunity to ackn owledge Britain’s legacy\, consider our individual and collective respo nses\, and make ourselves heard.\n\nBOOK tickets via Eventbrite\n\nOrganis ed by The Balfour Project\n\nSee more here.

In the w ords of the first British military governor of Jerusalem\, “a loyal Jewi sh Ulster” had been created.\n\nLike many other acts of colonialism\, it s consequences have been brutal and continue today: Zionist settlers are e xpelling Palestinians\, Israel is occupying much of the West bank\, and th ere are over 6 million refugees and their descendants.\n\nBernard Regan\, author of The Balfour Declaration\, Empire\, the Mandate and Resistance i n Palestine\, will explain the rivalries between Britain\, Germany and the Ottomans\, expose British policy in the region and explain the resis­tan ces of Palestinians.\n\nRoland Rance\, from Free Speech on Israel\, will explain the intentions then of British government and of the Zionist move ment for Palestine\, and what is the continuity of their policy within Isr ael today.\n\nThe Balfour Declaration\, Empire\, the Mandate and Resistanc e in Palestine by Bernard Regan\, Published by Verso\, Hardback\, £16.99 \n\nBookings via Eventbrite\n\nHosted by Socialist Resistance\nwww.sociali stresistance.org\nlondon@socialistresistance.org\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://palestinecampaign.org/wp-content/uploads /Balfour-Declaration-image.jpg LOCATION:KCBNA Community Centre\, 62 Marchmont Street\, London\, WC1N 1AB\, United Kingdom GEO:51.52526229999999;-0.12517109999998866 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=62 Marchmont Street\, Londo n\, WC1N 1AB\, United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=KCBNA Community C entre:geo:51.52526229999999,-0.12517109999998866 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:1955@palestinecampaign.org DTSTART:20171115T190000Z DTEND:20171115T190000Z DTSTAMP:20170927T135137Z URL:https://palestinecampaign.org/events/talk-robert-cohen-balfour-may-wro ng-kind-jews/ SUMMARY:Talk: Robert Cohen- Balfour\, May and the ‘Wrong Kind of Jews’ DESCRIPTION:Balfour\, May and the ‘Wrong Kind of Jews’\n\nSpeaker: Robe rt Cohen\n\nNovember 2017 sees the 100th anniversary of the Balfour Decla ration in which the British Government promised to create a homeland for t he Jewish people in Palestine.

On November 2\, 1917\ , the British government\, represented by Foreign Minister Arthur Balfour\ , declared that they were in favor of “the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people.” This short note would be one of the most controversial documents of its time. A hundred years after its s igning\, Bernard Regan recasts the history of the Balfour Declaration as o ne of the major events in the story of the Middle East. Offering new insig hts into the imperial rivalries between Britain\, Germany and the Ottomans \,Regan exposes British policy in the region as part of a larger geopoliti cal game. Yet\, even then\, the course of events was not straightforward a nd Regan charts the debates within the British government and the Zionist movement itself on the future of Palestine. The book also provides a revea ling account of life in Palestinian society at the time\, paying particula r attention to the responses of Palestinian civil society to the imperial machinations that threatened their way of life. Not just a history of stat es and policies\, Regan manages to brilliantly present both a history of p eople under colonialism and an account of the colonizers themselves.\n---- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------\nReviews\n“In this major account of the Balfour Declaration\, Bernard Regan's timely book sheds\nlight on the most powerfu l symbol of the official British-Zionist alliance over the last\ncentury. It deserves to be widely read by those yearning for truth and reconciliati on in\nthe Middle East.”\n– Professor Nur Masalha\, SOAS\, University of London\n\n“This is a meticulously researched account of the backgroun d and aftermath of a\ntransaction that launched in 1917 a malignant confli ct that has poisoned the Near East\nand the wider international arena ever since. Bernard Regan places the Balfour\nDeclaration in its proper contex t … It is compelling essential reading to anyone who\nwishes to understa nd the roots of one of our world's most dangerous potential\nexplosion spo ts.”\n– Moshé Machover\, author of Israelis and Palestinians\n\n"Most have heard of the Balfour Declaration\, without fully appreciating its hi story\nand consequences.

Combining live motion and CG I\, the film explores the role of myth for history\, fact and national ide ntity.\n\nA narrative resistance group makes underground deposits of elabo rate porcelain – suggested to belong to an entirely fictional civilisati on. Their aim is to influence history and support future claims to their v anishing lands. Once unearthed\, this tableware will prove the existence o f this counterfeit people. By implementing a myth of its own\, their work becomes a historical intervention – de facto creating a nation.\n\nThe film takes the form of a fictional video essay. A voice-over based on an i nterview between a psychiatrist and the leader of the narrative resistance group reveals the philosophy and ideas behind the group’s actions. As t he film progresses\, the narrative and visuals alternate between the theor etical and the personal. The resistance leader’s deceased twin sister ma kes a crucial appearance as the story takes the viewer deeper and deeper i nto the resistance leader’s subconscious.\n\n \;\n\n\n\n \;\n\nL arissa Sansour was born in 1973 in East Jerusalem\, Palestine\, and studie d fine arts in London\, New York and Copenhagen. Central to her work is th e tug and pull between fiction and reality. In her recent body of works\, she uses science fiction to address social and political issues in the Mid dle East. Working mainly with film\, Sansour also produces installations\, photos and sculptures.\n\nRecent solo exhibitions include Bluecoat in Liv erpool\, Chapter in Cardiff\, New Art Exchange in Nottingham\, Mosaic Room s in London\, Nikolaj Kunsthal in Copenhagen\, Turku Art Museum in Finland and Kulturhuset in Stockholm. A major solo show of her sci-fi trilogy wil l open At Dar El-Nimr in Beirut in April 2018.\n\nSansour’s work has fea tured in the biennials of Istanbul\, Busan\, Yinchuan and Liverpool. She h as exhibited at venues such as Tate Modern\, London\; Centre Pompidou\, Pa ris\; Queen Sofia Museum\, Madrid\; Townhouse\, Cairo\; Galerie Nationale de Jeu de Paume\, Paris\; Louisiana Museum of Contemporary Art\, Denmark a nd MOCA\, Hiroshima.\n\nSansour currently lives and works between Copenhag en/DK and London/UK.\n\n \;\n\n\n\n \;\n\nAWAN showcases the work of contemporary Arab women artists in the UK\, Europe and beyond\, providi ng opportunities for artists and audiences to celebrate\, be informed and network.

The demonstrations have left a total of 45 Palestinians dead\, with a repo rted 5\,500 injured. There have been no reports of Israeli fatalities.\n\n Israel's response to the demonstrators has come under fierce criticism fro m the UN Commissioner for Human Rights\, Zeid Ra'ad al-Hussein\, who calle d for into question the Israeli army's use of "excessive force"\, adding t hat Israel should be held to account. But the UK government remains silent - its refusal to condemn the killings is tantamount to a full endorsement of war crimes.\n\nTogether with supporters of the Palestinians all over t he world\, we will stand in solidarity with the people of Gaza on Saturday \, for a vigil and demonstration at the Clock Tower starting at 12 noon.

Three artists from Gaza - Ahmed Masoud\, Ahmed Najar and Khalid Ziyada\, have worked clo sely with Amnesty International UK\, the Hoping Foundation\, Amos Trust\, the Palestine Solidarity Campaign and Al Zaytouna Dance Theatre to bring together this creative response to decades of injustice.\n\nAbout the even ts:\n\nThe Shroud Maker\nA play by Ahmed Masoud\nRunning time: 70 minutes\ n\nHajja Souad\, an 80-year old Palestinian woman living on the besieged G aza Strip\, knows about business. She has survived decades of wars and opp ression through making shrouds for the dead. A compelling black comedy\, T he Shroud Maker delves deep into the intimate life of ordinary Palestinian s to weave a highly distinctive path through Palestine’s turbulent past and present. Loosely based on a real life character still living in Gaza\, this one-woman comedy weaves comic fantasy and satire with true stories t old first hand to the writer\, and offers a vivid portrait of  Palestinia n life in Gaza underscored with gallows humour.\n\nAhmed Masoud is a write r\, director and academic based in the UK and author of Vanished: The Mys terious Disappearance of Mustafa Ouda. His plays include Camouflage (Lon don\, May 2017)\, Walaa/Loyalty (London\, June &\; November 2014)\,  Unto the Breach (London\, November 2012 &\; Vienna\, November 2013) an d Go to Gaza\, Drink the Sea (London\, 2009 &\; Edinburgh Fringe\, Au gust 2009). His radio piece Escape from Gaza was broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 2011.\n\nProject 51 \nA dance performance by Al Zaytouna Dance Troup e  \nRunning time: 70 minutes\n\nAl Zaytouna Dance Troupe in collaborati on with Hava Dance Group present Project 51\, written and directed by Ahme d Najar. Project 51 – the  Israeli war on Gaza in summer 2014 lasted 51 days- questions the unequal media coverage of conflicts and terrorism\, and critically challenges the given perceptions of the Palestinian strugg le through the western media. The play centres on a Gazan man trying to di stract his daughter from explosions and the sound of drones and military a eroplanes. Creatively using the power of the traditional Palestinian folk dance ‘Dabke’ and blending it with modern dance and theatre - this typ ically inclusive\, infectious and widely popular dance form is used in a s atirical way bringing an eruption of joy and an affirmation of individuali ty and belonging.\n\nAhmed Najar is a Palestinian director\, playwright\, dabke expert and co-founder of the Al-Zaytouna dance troupe. The company f uses traditional Palestinian folk dance (dabke) with contemporary dance\, theatre\, poetry\, music\, and digital media to create inspiring pieces of dance theatre to tell powerful stories about Palestine\, often focusing o n identity and cultural resistance.\n\nAs well as a being a regular dancer with the troupe\, Najar has also written and directed several productions . He wrote Between the fleeting words\, which toured the UK and Europe in 2011.\n\nNajar took dabke teaching abroad when he worked with the Hava dan ce group in Slovenia (2014)\, writing and directing Water and Salt (Sloven ia 2015) and Project 51 (London 2016).\n\nSanaa Moussa\nA music performanc e by Marsm \nRunning time: 90 minutes\n\nRenowned Palestinian singer Sana Moussa’s work is a tribute to Palestinian women’s folklore and a cele bration of indigenous traditions in the face of occupation and globalizati on. Raised in a musical family hailing from Deir El Assad in the Galilee\, Moussa could not help but develop a passion for traditional Palestinian s ound from a young age. Moussa’s first album Ishraq was released one year ago and she has subsequently toured  Palestine\, Jordan and Cairo before coming to London. Remarkably\, Moussa is simultaneously pursuing her PhD in Microbiology.\n\nPortraits of Palestine: A case study from the British Colonial Archive \nA screening by Marsm\nRunning time: 60 minutes\n\nThis 1947 British colonial propaganda film shows how the British government so ught to present its role in Palestine at the very end of the Mandate perio d. Using archival documents to tell the full story of the film's productio n\, this presentation will show the forces at work in the creation of  co lonial film propaganda at the end of Empire. A rare chance to see fascinat ing footage from the British colonial era. Presented by writer and researc her Francis Gooding\, who will present a close reading of the archival rec ords\, in order to unpick the imagery produced\, and the motivations behin d the making of the film.\n\nKings and extras: digging for a Palestinian i mage\nA screening \nRunning time: 60 minutes\n\nDirector Azza El Hassan c hronicles her journey on the trail of films made by the PLO Media which we nt missing during the Israeli invasion of in  Beirut in 1982. The films w ere supposed to show a self-determined image of Palestinians from the mome nt of civilian expulsion in 1967 to PLO activity in Lebanon continuing unt il 1982. Through the narratives of individuals who El Hassan feels can ass ist in her search\, the film touches on  several aspects of contemporary Palestinian life. She travels through Syria\, Jordan and Lebanon searching for clues as to where the lost archive might be. The increasingly absurd search leads her to where the films are said to be buried - but no one wan ts to dig them up.\n\nThe film reflects the situation in the Middle East\; a failed revolution\, the problematic relationship with the Arab neighbou rs and the question of a Palestinian identity today.\n\nAzza El-Hassan is an award-winning Palestinian filmmaker. Since launching her film career in Ramallah\, El-Hassan has now become one of Palestine’s most promising f emale directors. She has produced several works all of which reflect the d ifferent stages of her journey exploring her complex relationship with her Palestinian identity.

Peace efforts ha ve failed because of one\, inconvenient truth: the Israeli maximum on offe r does not meet the Palestinian minimum\, or the standards of internationa l law.\nBut while the situation on the ground is bleak\, Ben White argues that there are widening cracks in Israel's traditional pillars of support. Opposition to Israeli policies and even critiques of Zionism are growing in Jewish communities\, as well as amongst Western progressives. The elect ion of Donald Trump has served as a catalyst for these processes\, includi ng the transformation of Israel from a partisan issue into one that divide s the US establishment. Meanwhile\, the Palestinian-led boycott campaign i s gathering momentum\, prompting a desperate backlash by Israel and its al lies.\nWith sharp analysis\, Ben White says now is the time to plot a cour se that avoids the mistakes of the past - a way forward beyond apartheid i n Palestine. The solution is not partition and ethnic separation\, but equ ality and self-determination - for all.\nBen White is a journalist and ana lyst\, who has been visiting and writing about Palestine for over a decade . His books include Palestinians in Israel: Segregation\, Discrimination a nd Democracy\, Israeli Apartheid: A Beginner's Guide\, and Cracks in the W all: Beyond Apartheid in Palestine/Israel.

This came as Pa lestinians marked the 70th anniversary of Nakba – when they were ethnica lly cleansed from their land – and protested against the US embassy move to Jerusalem.\n\nFor the last 7 weeks Palestinians have been gathering in Gaza to peacefully protest against the inhumane living conditions created by Israel’s illegal decade long blockade of the coastal strip\, and als o to reaffirm their Right of Return as enshrined by international law.\n\n Israel’s siege on Gaza has triggered major socio-economic and health cri ses. 80% of the population are dependent on humanitarian aid to survive\, and 42% of essential medicines are currently at zero stock. The UN warns t hat Gaza will be uninhabitable by 2020 unless urgent action is taken. As i t stands\, 97% of the water is not safe for consumption and there are elec trical blackouts for around 16 hours each day. (PSC Gaza factsheet)\n\nOve r the last weeks\, Israel has responded to Palestinians exercising their r ight to demonstrate with shocking violence. Having deployed snipers along the border\, Israeli forces have been using live ammunition with deadly co nsequences. Prior to today’s bloody onslaught\, Israeli forces had alrea dy killed at least 45 Palestinians and injured a further 6\,400 since the 30thMarch. (PSC Great March or Return flier)\n\nAccording to Human Rights Watch\, “Israeli soldiers were not merely using excessive force\, but we re apparently acting on orders that all but ensured a bloody military resp onse to the Palestinian demonstrations. The result was foreseeable deaths and injuries of demonstrators on the other side of a border who posed no i mminent threat to life.”\n\nThe International Criminal Court prosecutor warned that Israel’s actions could lead to war crimes trials for Israeli leaders. But the international community has so far failed to take effect ive action\, allowing Israel to continue massacring civilians with little or no consequence. Indeed\, the UK continues to supply Israel with weapons despite the clear human rights violations being committed against Palesti nians.\n\nAmnesty International argue that: “The time for symbolic state ments of condemnation is now over. The international community must act co ncretely and stop the delivery of arms and military equipment to Israel. A failure to do so will continue to fuel serious human rights abuses agains t thousands of men\, women and children suffering the consequences of life under Israel’s cruel blockade of Gaza. These people are merely protesti ng their unbearable conditions and demanding the right to return to their homes and towns in what is now Israel.”\n\nJoin us in writing to Members of Parliament using our template letter\, and call on the British governm ent to:\n\n– Use its influence to demand an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council and an independent investigation into Israel’s actions. \n\n– Take immediate action to end the illegal siege of Gaza and allevia te the suffering of its population.\n\n– Immediately implement a compreh ensive arms embargo on Israel.\n\n For more information please see WMPSC Facebook page here.

Instead\, it has been central to the foundation and maint enance of the State of Israel from the start.\n\nThe longevity of Israel ’s apartheid system has been recognised by the United Nations Economic a nd Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA)\, who produced a comprehensi ve report that concluded “Israel has established an Apartheid regime tha t dominates the Palestinian people as a whole.”\n\nTaking the ESWCA repo rt as its foundation\, on 3 November 2018\, the Palestine Solidarity Campa ign will be hosting a conference in London bringing together experts from around the world to examine how the system of apartheid is imposed upon Pa lestinians. We will look at the response required from activists to suppor t the Palestinian struggle\, principally through the Boycott\, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement.\n\nJoin us at this unique conference to lear n from leading experts about Israel’s system of apartheid\, and help us organise against it\, standing with Palestinians in their fight for freedo m and equality.\nSpeakers\nRebecca Vilkomerson: Rebecca is the Executive D irector of the US-based organisation Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP).

This is p art of our ongoing response to the call from the Palestinian civil society in 2005 for the international community to Boycott\, Divest and Sanction (BDS) Israel as a non-violent means to pressure Israel into complying with international law and the basic principles of human rights. It follows th e agreement from students to take collective action to calling for Aparthe id Off Campus\, which was decided at the BDS Student Conference on the 1st and 2nd September 2018.\n\n\n\nUK universities remain deeply complicit wi th Israel’s apartheid regime through their investment and institutional links\, despite many holding “social responsibility policies”. These p olicies often include restrictions on investing in companies who conduct b usiness which leads to human rights violations. One example includes Unive rsity of Manchester\, who invest millions in the company Caterpillar. Cate rpillar supplies the armoured bulldozers for the Israeli army to demolish Palestinian homes\, schools olive groves and communities.\n\nThis call com es at a time where international solidarity is needed more than ever for t he Palestinian people. Since the 30th March\, Palestinians in Gaza have be en marching to demand their basic rights to freedom. In response\, Israel is meeting the protests with live fire\, massacring over 180 Palestinians to date. Most recently\, on the 28th September\, 6 Palestinians were kille d\, including 2 children.\n\nIn the West Bank the Palestinian village of K han Al-Ahmar is due to be demolished by Israel\, in order to build the eve r expanding illegal Israeli Jewish-only settlements. This is another exten sion of Israel’s apartheid regime and continued ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people.\n\nStudents in the UK have been at the forefront of BD S campaigning for years. Palestinians need our solidarity to accelerate th e BDS campaign\, to hold Israel accountable for its war crimes\, and to ho ld UK universities to account for their complicity.\n\nJoin the Apartheid Off Campus - National Day of Action here!\n\nJoin the Twitter Storm: #Apar theidOffCampus #DivestforPalestine\n\nClick here for more info on the Apar theid Off Campus campaign\n\n \; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://palestinecampaign.org/wp-content/uploads /151.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:2215@palestinecampaign.org DTSTART:20181201T150000Z DTEND:20181201T170000Z DTSTAMP:20181126T150040Z URL:https://palestinecampaign.org/events/bbc-protest-boycott-eurovision-in -israel-2019/ SUMMARY:BBC Protest: Boycott Eurovision in Israel 2019 DESCRIPTION:BBC Protest: Boycott Eurovision in Israel 2019\nDate: 01/12/201 8 \nTime: 3pm-5pm\nLocation: BBC Broadcasting House\, Portland Place\, Lo ndon\, W1A 1AA\nJoin the protest calling on BBC to withdraw from the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest hosted by Israel\, to avoid being complicit in Isr ael's ongoing violations of Palestinian human rights.\n\nWe are also urgin g songwriters and performers to boycott the contest hosted by Israel\, jus t as many once boycotted the South African apartheid regime.\n\nJust days after Israel's Eurovision win\, Israeli forces massacred 62 Palestinians i n Gaza\, including six children\, as they demonstrated for freedom and ref ugee rights.

Israel’s nation state law officially embeds into the constitution its system of laws and policie s that discriminate against  Palestinian citizens of Israel\, illegal set tlement expansion continues to swallow up Palestinian land in the West Ban k and East Jerusalem\, and Palestinians in Gaza remain under a crippling s iege. Since March Israel has responded with live fire to protesters in Gaz a demonstrating against the siege and asserting their right to return to t he lands from which they were expelled in 1948 and 1967\, killing over 250 and maiming more than 26000. Despite all of this Israel continues to rece ive financial support from governments like Britain’s\, and from our own institutions and universities.\n\nClimate change is already having massiv e effects on some of the most vulnerable people on the planet. No one want s to flee their home because of famine or conflict caused by extreme weath er. Yet since 2008\, climate-related disasters displaced 22 million people yearly across the world. Communities on the frontline of fossil fuel extr action are also seeing their land and ways of living destroyed. Indigenous communities across the globe are resisting the expansion of extraction pr ojects across the world and we support their struggle.\n\nUK universities continue to invest 100's of £millions to facilitate and profit from wreck ing the climate\, Israeli apartheid and the arms industry\, despite many h olding “ethical investment policies”.

Palestinians living in Israel continue to be denied the right to live a s equal citizens under the law\, with Israel’s Nation State law\, introd uced in 2018\, giving a constitutional foundation to a system of entrenche d discrimination. 2018 also saw systematic attempts to downgrade the right s of the more than 7 million Palestinian refugees\, those expelled by Isra el in 1948 and 1967 and their descendants. Israel is seeking\, with the su pport of the US\, to remove their refugee status\, with Donald Trump prepa ring a “deal of the century” which seeks to ignore their inalienable r ight\, grounded in international law\, to return to the lands and homes fr om which they have been expelled.\n\nStudents in the UK have been at the f orefront of BDS campaigning for years. Palestinians need our solidarity to accelerate the BDS campaign\, to hold Israel accountable for its war crim es\, and to hold UK universities to account for their complicity.

Manche ster Public Meeting\n\nPart of PSC national speaking tour in support of th ose challenging the JNF’s charitable status.\n\nSpeaker: Kholud al Ajarm a \n\nIn 2018\, she appealed to the Charity Commission that the JNF UK sh ould not be recognised as a charitable organisation.  Kholoud’s family still have the title deeds to their land in Ajjur\, now “owned” by the JNF UK\, but the Commission rejected her claim.\n\nAt a tribunal in Manch ester on Tuesday 2nd April 2019\, the campaign will be contesting the Char ity Commission’s decision.\n\nCome and hear the case for de-registration of the JNF UK .\n\nBiography Kholoud al Ajarma belongs to one of the fam ilies ethnically cleansed from Ajjur in 1948. Today\, they live in Aida Re fugee Camp\, Bethlehem\, only about 25 miles from their village.   The f amily still have the title deeds to their land in Ajjur.  Kholoud has stu died in England\, Holland\, Norway and Morocco\, but says the Right of Ret urn is the real work of her life.\n\nBackground  The Jewish National Fun d (JNF)\, set up in 1901\, has played a key role in systematically taking over the land of the Palestinian people. Before the Nakba of 1948\, Palest ine’s Arab population owned 93% of the land on which the state of Israe l was set up.  During the Nakba\,  two-thirds of the Palestinian populat ion were driven from their homes and  their land seized\, much of which  was transferred to the Jewish National Fund. Once land is in the ownersh ip of the JNF it cannot be sold to Palestinians. Today\, Palestinians owns just 3%.\n\nAs registered British charity\, the JNF UK receives all the a ssociated financial and reputational benefits of this status. Funds from J NF UK have been used to furhter the dispossession the indigenous people of Palestine. The campaign to persuade the Charity Commission to withdraw t he charitable status of the JNF UK began in 2013 and a new appeal was lodg ed in 2018.\n\nThe appeal highlights the case of a Kholoud al Ajarma’s f amily\, whose land in Ajjur was taken from them by force in 1948. No longe r accessible to its rightful owners\, it is now used a leisure facility fo r Israelis called the British Park\, an example of JNF UK green wash of  Israel’s ethnic cleansing.

Use the following link to get your ticket https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/psc-west-london/t-dozqek\n\nOrganised by W est London Palestine Solidarity Campaign\n\nAfter decades of occupation an d creeping annexation\, Israel has created an apartheid\, one state realit y in historic Palestine. Peace efforts have failed because of one\, inconv enient truth: the Israeli maximum on offer does not meet the Palestinian m inimum\, or the standards of international law.\n\nBut while the situation on the ground is bleak\, Ben White argues that there are widening cracks in Israel's traditional pillars of support. Opposition to Israeli policies and even critiques of Zionism are growing in Jewish communities\, as well as amongst Western progressives. Meanwhile\, the Palestinian-led boycott campaign is gathering momentum\, prompting a desperate backlash by Israel and its allies.\n\nWith sharp analysis\, Ben White says now is the time to plot a course that avoids the mistakes of the past - a way forward beyond apartheid in Palestine. The solution is not partition and ethnic separati on\, but equality and self-determination - for all.

Liberatory struggles must work together again st institutional racism and oppression\, and for our fundamental rights to protest.\n\n\n \n\n\nThe struggle for justice in Palestine is a struggle against an institutionalised discriminatory framework of power which meet s the legal definition of apartheid. This is the lived experience of Pales tinians whether those living under illegal military occupation in the West Bank\, East Jerusalem or Gaza\, as second class citizens in the state of Israel\, or as refugees denied the right of return.\n\n\n \n\n\nThe Pales tinian call for Boycott Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) is a call for globa l resistance to apartheid rooted in the affirmation that challenging Israe l’s system of racism and discrimination is a crucial component of a univ ersal anti-racist struggle.\n\n\n \n\n\nThis event will look at how we wi thstand attempts to delegitimise BDS and wider activism for Palestine as a united movement\, and how we build widespread support for an end to insti tutional racism. A crucial part of this is pushing for UK universities to end their investments and institutional links to Israeli apartheid\, the e xtent of which has been revealed by PSC’s online database: palestinecamp aign.org/university-complicity-database/\n\n\n \n\n\nTime to get #Aparthe idOffCampus!\n\n\n \n\n\nSpeakers include:\n\n\n \n\n\nOmar Barghouti \n \n\nOmar Barghouti is a prominent Palestinian human rights activist and co -founder of the Boycott\, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement.

DESCRIPTION:\n\nExist\, Resist\, Return: No to Trump’s deal!\nTuesday 11t h February // 7pm // Conway Hall\, London\n\n***Register your free place h ere***\n\nDonald Trump’s so-called “deal of the century” represents not a deal for peace\, but a demand to the Palestinian people to surrender their fundamental rights\, sugar-coated with the illusion of economic pro sperity.\n\nThis vision means no viable state for the Palestinians but a s eries of Bantustans\, no capital in Jerusalem\, instead sovereignty over t he outlying districts of East Jerusalem\, and no right of return for the P alestinian refugees. The deal does not even attempt to pay lip service to international law. Instead Israel is given the green light to annex furthe r swathes of the West Bank\, which the US would then recognise.\n\nThe mes sage from Trump and Netanyahu\, underpinned by a racist colonial mindset\, is that they do not regard Palestinians as a people with core collective rights\, but simply as individuals with economic needs.\n\nWhilst Palestin ians want to prosper and live ordinary lives in common with people across the world\, they know that they cannot do so until Israel’s illegitimate control over their lives is ended. They seek liberation\; not to be made more comfortable in their chains.\n\nThere is no deal which is acceptable that is not rooted in respect for the rights of all and for international law. Trump’s deal fails on both counts and it must be rejected by the UK Government\, whose response to the deal so far is wholly inadequate.\n\nW hilst not endorsing the deal\, giving it any sort of "welcome" runs counte r to the UK Government's stated commitments to uphold and implement intern ational law\, and reinforces decades of complicity through action and inac tion by successive UK Governments.\n\nJoin us for a rally featuring Palest inian voices\, politicians\, trade unionists and campaigners as we defend the collective rights of the Palestinian people and say NO to Trump’s de al.\n\nSpeakers:\n\nBell Ribeiro-Addy MP (Labour)\nTommy Sheppard MP (SNP) \nChris Hazzard MP (Sinn Fein)\nAmelia Womack (Green Party)\nHis Excellenc y Husam Zomlot (Palestinian Ambassador to the UK)\nKarma Nabulsi (Academic and PSC Patron)\nKamel Hawwash (Chair of PSC)\nAsad Rehman (War on Want)\ nGail Cartmail (Unite the Union)\nLouise Regan (National Education Union)                                                                                                                       Lindsey German (Stop the War Coalition) ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://palestinecampaign.org/wp-content/uploads /125.jpg LOCATION:Conway Hall\, 25 Red Lion Square \, London\, none\, WC1 4RL\, Lond on\, United Kingdom GEO:51.5201077;-0.11848150000002988 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=25 Red Lion Square \, Londo n\, none\, WC1 4RL\, London\, United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Co nway Hall:geo:51.5201077,-0.11848150000002988 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:2307@palestinecampaign.org DTSTART:20200222T193000Z DTEND:20200222T193000Z DTSTAMP:20200114T132200Z URL:https://palestinecampaign.org/events/iyad-sughayer-piano-recital/ SUMMARY:Iyad Sughayer Piano Recital DESCRIPTION:From Mozart to Khachaturian via Liszt\n\n \;\n\nOn the brin k of a brilliant international career\, award winning concert pianist Iyad Sughayer performs works from his debut album on BIS Records of solo works by Aram Khachaturian.\n\n \;\n\nSpeaking of his attraction to the mu sic of Khachaturian\, Iyad says:\n\n“It seems so close to my own roots – to my people’s folk music.

From the Nakba to today\, the JNF has been a key agent in the c olonization of Palestine. We will also explore how the JNF has helped to f orge the racist ideology of the state of Israel\, financing a discriminato ry system whilst\, at the same time\, being accorded charitable status acr oss the world. The campaign against the JNF likewise reaches across the wo rld - we invite you to join us \, wherever you are\, in this campaign for justice.\n\nREGISTER: http://bit.ly/StopJNFWebinar\nMeetings (First Saturd ay of Month at 4pm BST)\nSaturday 2nd May: What is the JNF (Jewish Nationa l Fund)?\n\nThe JNF functions as an arm of the Israeli state\, yet present s as a charity in scores of countries. Our expert guests will discuss the JNF as a pioneer of the ethnic cleansing of Palestine and its ongoing acti vities to expel Palestinians from their homes. We'll look at the JNF's cla ims to act on behalf of Jews worldwide and show how this racist organisati on can be challenged wherever you are.\n\nSaturday 6th June: The JNF as a Pillar of Israeli Apartheid (1948-1967)\n\nThis webinar will reveal the pa rt played by the JNF in this momentous period: the ethnic cleansing of Pal estine\, the seizure of Palestinian land\, the erasure of evidence of this land theft and the prevention of Palestinians' Right of Return. With emin ent authorities\, we will also explore the ways in which the JNF helped to forge the racist ideology and practices of the emerging state of Israel.\ n\nSaturday 4th July: The JNF as a Pillar of Israeli Apartheid (1967-prese nt)\n\nOnce established as a parastatal organisation\, the JNF has continu ed to facilitate Israel's apartheid system. This webinar will focus on the Naqab\, and the JNFs role in contemporary land confiscation.\n\nSaturday 1st August: From Prawer to the JNF 2040 Plan\n\nThe JNF was involved in et hnic cleansing of the Negev through the Prawer Plan. Now\, the JNF has an ambitious 2040 Plan to settle 1.5 million Israelis in the Galilee and Nege v through the development of hi-tech industries. In the Negev\, where dest ruction of Bedouin villages continues\, the 2040 Plan involves collaborati on with IDF Technology Units\, including the notorious Unit 8200 which spi es on Palestinians.\n\nSeptember 5th 2020: Nexus of Forces Allied with the JNF\n\nTo advance the Zionist movement’s conquest of land strategy\, th e JNF has relied on extensive fundraising among Jewish communities abroad\ , allowing the Israeli state to shift more of its resources to its militar y sector. In this session we examine the methods deployed by Western gover nments\, the JNF and pro-Israel lobby groups to shield the Israeli state f rom criticism and actions coming from the BDS movement. We aim to explain how the JNF and its extensions in various countries pass off ethnic cleans ing as charitable and explore ways to oppose them.\n\nOctober 3rd 2020: Gr eenwashing and the JNF\n\nEnvironmentalists beware. The JNF\, which was es tablished for the purposes of colonial dispossession\, and has been execut ing ethnic cleansing for over 100 years\, has re-branded itself as the “ oldest green organization in the world” and is infiltrating the environm ental movement. From biodiversity conservation to energy generation\, from water conservation to climate change\, the JNF has been causing environme ntal devastation and greenwashing crimes against the Palestinian people.\n \nPlease note: the running order of the webinars after July may be subject to modification.\nSpeakers Include:\nSalman Abu Sitta\, groundbreaking P alestinian researcher and historian\n\nOmar Barghouti\, co-founder of the Boycott\, Divestment and Sanctions movement\n\nJonathan Cook\, journalist based in Nazareth\n\nIlan Pappé\, Israeli historian and activist.\n\nGhad a Karmi\, Palestinian doctor\, author and academic.\n\nJoseph Schechla\,  coordinator of Habitat International Coalition's Housing and Land Rights N etwork.\n\nKholoud al-Ajarma\, Palestinian activist\n\nAziz al Touri (pre -recorded)\, activist from al-Araqib\n\nShir Hever\, economic researcher and author\n\nThe Stop the JNF UK campaign is part of an international cam paign to end the Jewish National Fund 's role in the ethnic cleansing of P alestinians. It is made up of a coalition of activists from Palestine Soli darity Campaign\, Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign and the Internati onal Jewish Anti-Zionist Network.

Every settlement is a war crime under international law – pushing indigenous Palestinian families off their land\, robbing natur al resources\, and denying Palestinians their right of movement.\n\nBy spo nsoring the IFA\, Puma is complicit in supporting these crimes.\n\nWE NEED YOU! We can’t go protest outside Puma’s HQ at the moment\, but you c an still help us send a message they can’t ignore. Today we are coordina ting actions across the world to get Puma’s attention ahead of their AGM . You can join in from home!\n\nStarting from 11am today\, we’ll be jam ming up Puma’s phone and email systems with mass messaging. Please take these 3 actions:\n\n Phone Puma’s customer helpline and read them the script prepared below.\n Email Puma. Just click this link to send a messa ge.\n Post a message on social media. Click here to tweet.\n\nPLEASE TAKE 2 MINS TO CALL PUMA TODAY! We need as many people calling as possible. T his is one of the most effective ways to ensure our message is heard ahead of Puma’s AGM.\n\nSimply follow the script below\, and please remember that the customer service helper is not responsible for Puma’s policy. A lways be polite\, but firm in asking that our message is passed on.\n\nTel ephone Puma’s Customer service hotline on +44 (0) 203 32 65 481\, and  read the following script.  After the call\, please fill in this short o nline feedback form to let us know you contacted Puma and how it went.\n\n Hello\,\n\nI’m calling as a customer deeply concerned about Puma’s cur rent sponsorship of the Israel Football Association.\n\nI understand you a re not responsible for this\, but ask you to make a note and kindly pass m y message on within Puma. My feelings are shared by thousands of others ac ross the UK.\n\nThe Israel Football Association operates in illegal Israel i settlements\, on land stolen from Palestinians. Puma’s sponsorship bri ngs international legitimacy to the Israel Football Association and helps sustain the infrastructure of illegal settlements.\n\nEvery settlement is a war crime under international law – pushing indigenous Palestinian fam ilies off their land\, robbing natural resources\, and denying Palestinian s their right of movement.\n\nMore than 200 Palestinian football teams hav e called on Puma to end its support of Israel’s military occupation by t erminating its sponsorship deal\, and there is a rapidly growing boycott P uma campaign being led by human rights activists across the globe.\n\nHere in the UK over 50\,000 emails have been sent to football clubs\, calling on them to end current partnerships with Puma because of your complicity i n supporting illegal settlements. I have seen protests on UK high streets across the country – including outside your flagship store on Carnaby St reet in London – highlighting Puma’s continued unethical sponsorship o f the Israel Football Association. Football Clubs\, such as Forest Green R overs\, have already announced they will boycott Puma from now on.\n\nAmne sty International recently stated that it is not possible to do business i n or with Israeli settlements without contributing to violations of intern ational humanitarian and human rights law. It is noted that Puma’s exclu sive licensee in Israel – Delta – was listed in the recently published UN database of complicit settlement companies. \n\nI am extremely surpri sed that Puma has continued its unethical sponsorship of the Israel Footba ll Association\, and am calling to say I will personally be boycotting Pum a for as long as it remains complicit in Israeli war crimes.\n\nPlease pas s this message on. Thanks\n\nAfter the call\, please make sure to fill in this online feedback form to let us know how it went! This is very useful for the campaign. Thanks\n\nYou can also post on social media – Click h ere to Tweet:\nI just phoned @Puma to let them know I will continue to boy cott them and their #PumaFam until they stop supporting Israeli war crimes and Israel’s violation of Palestinian rights.

Starting in July they plan to unilaterally annex lar ge swathes of the illegally occupied West Bank\, declaring the territory a n integral part of Israel proper. Annexation\, illegal under international law\, is the forcible and unilateral acquisition of territory over which it has no recognised sovereignty and to make it an integral part of the st ate – in this case\, Israel.\n\nThis act would be the culmination of yea rs of land theft\, displacement of Palestinians\, and illegal settlement o f occupied Palestinian land. \n\nWhile solidifying its grip on Palestinia n land\, Israel will continue to ramp up its system of institutionalised r acist discrimination against the Palestinian people as a whole\, whether u nder occupation\, as second-class citizens in Israel\, or in exile\, treat ment that amounts to the crime of apartheid under international law. In th is vein\, the Israeli government have already announced they will not gran t Palestinians in annexed areas citizenship rights.\n\nThe international c ommunity has a duty to respond to such egregious violations of internatio nal law. Palestinian civil society has called for “effective action” b y nation-states to stop annexation. This means applying international law on trade with illegal Israeli settlements\, and enacting sanctions\, inclu ding by placing a two-arms embargo on Israel. \n\nStand up on July 4th an d call on the UK government to implement sanctions immediately to halt ann exation. \n\nComplying with Coronavirus restrictions\, we are calling for groups made up of no more than 6 people\, adhering to social distancing r egulations\, to demonstrate by holding signs with the slogans Stop Annexat ion\, Sanctions Now and End Apartheid. \n\nThis day of action is organise d by Palestine Solidarity Campaign\; and supported by: Amos Trust\; Artist s for Palestine\; Campaign Against the Arms Trade\; Campaign for Nuclear D isarmament (CND)\; Europal Forum\; ICAHD UK\; Jewish Voice for Labour\; La bour and Palestine\; Muslim Association of Britain\; National Education Un ion (NEU)\; Palestinian Forum in Britain\; Palestinian Return Centre\; Sto p the War Coalition\; Unite the Union\; War on Want.\n\nHow To Participate \n\n Print out the relevant graphics at the bottom of this page depending on the size of your group\n Choose a location to stand while adhering to social distancing regulations\n Take a picture\, post across social medi a and tag us @PSCupdates &\; make sure to include the hashtags #StopAnn exation #SanctionsNow #EndApartheid\n Change your Facebook Profile Photo Frame to show your solidarity\n\nEmail us for enquiries: campaigns@palesti necampaign.org\n\nGraphics for a group of 6 people:\n\n \n\n \;\n\ n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \; \n\n \;\n\n \;\n\nGraphics for a group of less than 6 people:\n\n \n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n\n\ nLOCAL BRANCH SOCIALLY DISTANCED ACTIONS (MORE TBC)\n\nBrighton: Clocktowe r\, Midday\nhttps://twitter.com/BrightonPSC\n\nBristol: Water Fountain\, 2 pm\n\nChichester: Market Cross\, 1pm\nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/3869 07725603036/\n\nEast London: Altab Ali Park (Midday)\, Council East Ham Hi gh St (Midday)\, Mile End Park (2pm)\,\nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/65 4510931802373/\n\nExeter: Bedford Square\, 12.30pm\nhttps://www.facebook.c om/events/688774815033210/\n\nHackney: Narrow Way\, E8 1JB\, 1pm till 2pm\ n\nLambeth &\; Wandsworth: Herne Hill Precinct and Brockwell Park Entra nce\, 4pm\n\nNorthampton: Abington Park Bandstand\, 2pm\nhttps://www.faceb ook.com/events/643582986239404/\n\nNorwich: Tesco Metro\, 1pm\n\n\nhttps:/ /www.facebook.com/events/300850524631832/\n\n \;\n\nNottingham: Market Square\, Midday\nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/368384237475343/\n\nOrkn ey: Outside Kirkwall St Magnus Cathedral\, 11am\n\nPlymouth: Sundial\, 11a m\nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/3674702279223073/\n\nReading: Town Hall \, 1pm (Organised by Kairos Reading)\n\nSheffield: Town Hall\, Midday\nhtt ps://www.facebook.com/events/562433421114644/\n\nSouthampton: West Quay Ab ove Bar\, 11am\nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/603099827255624/\n\nYork: Parliament Street\, 11am\nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/730439487733114/ \n\n+ MORE TBC!\n\n \; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://palestinecampaign.org/wp-content/uploads /day-of-action-against-annexation-2-1.png CATEGORIES:Priority END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:2339@palestinecampaign.org DTSTART:20200723T194500Z DTEND:20200723T213000Z DTSTAMP:20200723T204739Z URL:https://palestinecampaign.org/events/stand-up-for-palestine-2020/ SUMMARY:Stand Up For Palestine - A PSC Fundraiser DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nTHIS EVENT IS NOW CLOSED\, THANKS FOR WATCHING!\n\nPSC ar e thrilled to announce this exciting online fundraiser taking place live o n Thursday 23 July.

The assault killed over 2\,200 Palestinians\, nearly a quarter of them children. Isra el attacked densely populated civilian areas\, destroying 18\,000 resident ial units\, and leaving over 100\,000 Palestinians homeless.\n\nDespite wi despread condemnation of Israel’s deliberate and systematic targeting of the civilian population of Gaza\, including by the United Nations\, Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International\, Britain continues to arm Israel. According to Campaign against Arms Trade (CAAT) between 2014 and 2018\, t he UK issued individual licenses for £364 million worth of military equip ment and technology for export to Israel\, as well as 20 open licenses\, a llowing unlimited deliveries over a 3-5 year period. In addition\, the UK continues to purchase high-tech weaponry from Israel\, advertised as battl e-tested on the Palestinian people. As Israel continues to murder Palestin ians with impunity\, Palestinian civil society has called for effective ac tion to hold Israel to account\, including for a two-way arms embargo now. \n\nBut the chain of complicity runs deeper than the government. As reveal ed by our research both UK universities and local government pension funds invest in companies complicit in Israel’s war crimes\, including compan ies that supply weapons to Israel.\n\nIn addition\, financial institutions such as HSBC invest and provide financial services worth millions to comp anies that supply Israel with weapons.

Israel’s passage of the nation state law\, followed by its publicly stated aim of annexing at least 30% of the West Bank – f ollowing its illegal annexation of East Jerusalem and the Syrian Golan Hei ghts – has further exposed its apartheid reality.\n\nThe question for th e movement for Palestinian rights is how to transition from the ugliness o f the present day to a future of freedom\, justice and equality? What woul d this look like on the ground\, irrespective of political frameworks?\n\n This weekly series of webinars throughout October will tackle – but also go beyond - the way in which Israel’s practices meet the definition of apartheid under international law and their effect on Palestinians in all areas of their lives.\n\nSessions\n\nThursday October 1st / 6pm / Aparthei d within Israel: Sami Abu Shehadeh\, Palestinian member of the Knesset for the Joint List.

These include plans to proceed with f ormal annexation. Despite the rhetoric from some of our political leaders that the US- UAE has taken annexation off the table\, Israel has made clea r that its plans are merely on temporary hold . Netanyahu has stated clear ly\, speaking after the UAE deal\, that “there is no change to my plan t o extend sovereignty\, our sovereignty in Judea and Samaria\, in full coor dination with the United States.”\n\nMeanwhile Israel proceeds with the de facto annexation on the ground. In October 2020 the Israeli government approved 5\,400 new settlement units on stolen Palestinian land in the Wes t Bank.\n\nIn tandem\, Israel has continued to demolish Palestinian homes and buildings\, with 389 Palestinian structures in the West Bank razed fro m March to August 2020\, leaving over 400 Palestinians homeless.\n\nIsrael continues to subject Gaza to an ever-tightening land\, air and sea blocka de\, making life insufferable for the nearly two million Palestinians\, th e majority of them refugees from Israel’s ethnic cleansing\, trapped in the enclave. Like Palestinian refugees everywhere\, they are denied the ri ght to return to the homes from which they\, their parents or grandparents were expelled.\n\nAs the TUC the reality recently affirmed\, Israel’s c urrent actions are the next “significant step in the creation of a syste m of apartheid” .\n\nThe UK government must take action by banning trade with illegal Israeli settlements and implementing sanctions\, including a two-way arms embargo\, until Israel complies with international law.\n\nP ublic bodies also need to take action to ensure that they are not investin g funds or procuring contracts with companies complicit in Israel’s huma n rights abuses.\nThat’s why we’re calling for a day of action on Nove mber 28th under the banner #StopAnnexation #EndApartheid #SanctionsNow\n\n How to take action:\nPrint and hold our signs (complying with all social d istancing and lockdown guidelines).

Or we may choose to avoid the hyper-consumerism in the Hallmark holid ay\, shun the ritualistic exchange of commodities\, and simply spend time with those we hold dear.\n\nFor Palestinians\, however\, February 14th com es as a reminder of Israel’s suffocating restrictions on their movement\ , cutting them off from their loved ones. A coercive matrix of ID cards\, blockades\, borders and prisons means many Palestinians are separated from their Valentines\, simply because they are Palestinian\, and live under a discriminatory system of rule amounting to the crime of apartheid.\n\nFor those living under Israel’s brutal military occupation of their land\, even the act of buying a gift is fraught with difficulty. Segregated roads \, soldiers and checkpoints can make going to the shop a difficult affair. \n\nDon't miss this fascinating free online talk and film screening to lea rn more about how many Palestinians will be spending Valentine’s Day. We 'll be joined by Palestinian journalist and filmmaker Elia Ghorbiah\, as w ell as more speakers to be announced.\n\nFilm: The Present by Farah Nabu lsi (2020\, 24') \nYusef and his daughter\, Yasmine\, set out in the West Bank to buy his wife a gift.

Many countries usually have a soup and salad on the table every night\, and in Palestine\, we have freekeh soup several times throughout the month.

Finally\, we can’t end our night without something sweet\, and I alw ays crave my grandmother’s Kaykat Joz Alhind\, or coconut cake. It is a one bowl wonder that is ready in no time!

Palestinians\, wherever they are located\, remain unable to e xercise their basic right to self-determination.\n\nIsraeli apartheid can only be sustained because of the complicity of a range of governments\, in cluding those of the G7. The G7 includes the biggest suppliers of arms and military technology to the Israeli state\, which are vital to enforce Isr ael’s regime of oppression.\n\nDuring this year’s G7 summit in Cornwal l\, international justice campaigners will come together to organise for a world based on justice and human rights. We’re joining them by taking t o the streets to demand no more complicity with Israeli apartheid.\nAll go vernments have an obligation to end their complicity and help dismantle ap artheid. Instead of aiding and abetting Israel’s racist rule over the Pa lestinian people\, the G7 must end all military-security cooperation with Israel\, and employ targeted sanctions until Israel complies with internat ional law.\n\nJoin us outside 10 Downing Street to demand no more complici ty!

Soheir will speak about the political and social context for the May uprising\, the legal and political precarity experienced by Palestinia n citizens of Israel\, and new community organizing efforts to provide mea ningful direct support to those detained.\n\nSahar Francis\, lawyer and di rector of Addameer: Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association in the o ccupied West Bank. Sahar will speak about the historical and ongoing ways that Israel uses incarceration as a tool of political repression against P alestinians under occupation and apartheid rule across their historic home land.\n\nThe event will be chaired by Riya Al’Sanah\, who is a Palestine -based political organiser and is also on the Advisory Board of the Dignit y and Hope Detainees Fund Project at Baladna: Association for Arab Youth.\ n\nThe event is hosted by Baladna: Association for Arab Youth and Palestin e Solidarity Campaign\n\n**************\n\nOver the course of April\, May and June 2021\, Palestinians participated in one of the largest and most i nspiring mobilisations of recent years\, including a general strike for di gnity. Throughout historic Palestine and exiled Palestinian communities\, thousands unified in struggle\, calling for rights\, dignity\, justice and freedom. These extraordinary events brought new energy to the Palestinian decolonisation and anti-apartheid movement and brought about a sea change in people speaking out and standing in solidarity with Palestine internat ionally.\n\nTo quell the uprising\, Israel relied on classic colonial tact ics: direct lethal violence and arbitrary arrests resulting in repressive\ , lengthy\, and costly legal procedures to intimidate Palestinians and att empt to silence their collective power. The wide and unprecedented partici pation of Palestinians citizens of Israel meant that they were targeted en masse: More than 2\,000 were arrested and around 200 indicted\, the mass majority of them working-class youth. Similar to Palestinian detainees fro m other parts of Palestine’s fragmented geography\, they suffer from phy sical and psychological abuse at the hands of Israeli police compounded wi th discriminatory procedures and rulings by Israeli courts.\n\nPalestinian s are self-organising and pushing forward their liberation goals of freedo m and justice\, building upon the unity built through the past few months. In this conversation we will hear about these efforts\, including the Dig nity and Hope Detainees Fund Project to provide legal support and solidari ty to the families and communities most impacted.\n\nRegister here https:/ /bit.ly/3xzMcQF\n\n+++++++++++++++++++++++++++\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://palestinecampaign.org/wp-content/uploads /Grassroots-Organising-Webinar-Updated-Logos.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:2405@palestinecampaign.org DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20210911 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20210913 DTSTAMP:20210721T113134Z URL:https://palestinecampaign.org/events/summer-school-for-palestine-2021/ SUMMARY:Summer School for Palestine 2021 DESCRIPTION:\n\nSummer School for Palestine - 11th and 12th September 2021 - Resource for London\, 356 Holloway Road\, N7 6PA\n\nYouth rising for Pal estine - join other young people to learn more about the Palestinian liber ation struggle\, international solidarity\, and how to campaign effectivel y on campus and beyond.\n\nIn response to Israel's intensified aggression against the Palestinian people\, including through the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in occupied Jerusalem\, and the relentless aerial bombardmen t of the beseiged Gaza strip\, thousands of young people have joined the m ovement for Palestinian rights.\n\nThey've taken to the streets in unprece dented numbers to show their solidarity with the Palestinian people.

Israel's violence didn't end in May\, when it intensified its ethnic cleansing campaign aga inst Palestinians in occupied Jerusalem\, and bombarded already beseiged G aza.\n\n \;\nSince then\, Israel has conducted mass arrest raids acros s historic Palestine\, including on university campuses.. At Birzeit Unive rsity\, hundreds of student activists have been arrested by Israeli forces .\n\n \;\nPalestinians have always pushed back against this repression \, and university students have always been at the heart of the Palestinia n anti-apartheid struggle. But they need our solidarity now.\n\n \;\nI srael can only maintain its repressive rule because of the complicity of o ur government and our institutions.\nOur research has found that UK univer sities invest over £400million in companies complicit in Israel’s grave breaches of human rights. This includes companies supplying weapons and m ilitary technology to Israel\, used to oppress Palestinians.\n\n \;\nO n November 29th students on campuses across the UK will take action.

Over 50% of the residents of besieged Gaz a are refugees.\n\n \;\nAround one third of Palestinian refugees live in camps\, both inside Palestine\, and throughout neighbouring Jordan\, Sy ria\, and Lebanon.\n\n \;\nAll these Palestinians\, wherever they live \, are prevented by Israel from exercising their legally enshrined right o f return to the land\, homes\, and property from which they were uprooted. While Palestinians are removed from their land\, Israel has facilitated J ewish settlement from anywhere in the world ever since.\n\n \;\nOn Dec ember 11th 1948\, the UN General Assembly adopted resolution 194\, affirmi ng this right to return. The resolution passed with the support of the the n UK Government. It has been affirmed in international law dozens of times since.\n \;\n\nOn the 73rd anniversary of the passage of UNGA Resolut ion 194\, join this webinar to hear from Palestinian exiles on their exper iences\, and learn how the right of return remains an essential part of th e Palestinian struggle for justice.\n\n \;\n\n\nSpeakers:\n\nLubnah Sh omali\, Advocacy Unit Manager of BADIL Resource Center for Palestinian Res idency a Refugee Rights\, a Palestinian organisation committed to protecti ng and promoting the rights of Palestinian refugees.\n\n\n \;\n\nNidal Betare\, Syrian-Palestinian writer based in Washington DC\, USA.\n\n  \;\nBasma El Doukhi\, Palestinian Development and humanitarian scholar and PhD candidate at the University of Kent\, third generation of stateless P alestinian refugee from Rashidieh Palestinian camp in Lebanon.\n\n \;\ nSawsan Samara\, Palestinian in Jordan\, activist with BDS Jordan\n\n  \;\nREGISTER: https://bit.ly/RightOfReturnWebinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://palestinecampaign.org/wp-content/uploads /Workers-webinar-Facebook-Event-Cover-Twitter-Post-Instagram-Post.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:2436@palestinecampaign.org DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20211212T153000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20211212T173000 DTSTAMP:20211118T163417Z URL:https://palestinecampaign.org/events/online-cook-along-palestinian-des serts-masterclass/ SUMMARY:Online Cook-Along: Palestinian Desserts Masterclass DESCRIPTION: \;\n\n\n\nJoin Palestinian chef Maha Salah at this masterc lass for a chance to learn how to make two different traditional Palestini an desserts.

But the reali ty is\, that what the mainstream media is describing as an ‘escalation o f violence and conflict’ is Israel employing the severe violence require d to enforce an illegal occupation and a wider system of oppression. Leadi ng human rights organisations including Amnesty International\, Human Righ ts Watch\, and B’Tselem have rightly described this system as meeting th e legal definition of the crime of apartheid.\nPolitical leaders in the UK have chosen to remain silent about Israel’s actions\, whilst elsewhere thy trumpet their opposition to illegal invasion and support for internati onal law.   Moreover\, the UK Government continues to regularly approve military technology and arms exports to Israel\, including for weapons of the type used in clear violation of international law\, against its own ar ms export criteria. The UK must stop arming Israel and providing mater ial support for Israeli apartheid.Join us to protest on Friday 22nd April\ , against Israel’s actions\, to call for the dismantling of apartheid\, for an end to the violation of Al Aqsa\, and for the UK government to Stop Arming Israel Apartheid.\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://palestinecampaign.org/wp-content/uploads /SAI-Protest-Twitter-Post-Instagram-Post.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:2480@palestinecampaign.org DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20220509 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20220515 DTSTAMP:20220512T191521Z URL:https://palestinecampaign.org/events/nakba-week-of-action-2022/ SUMMARY:Nakba 74: 6 Days of Action For Palestine DESCRIPTION:\n\nThis May marks 74 years of Nakba. 74 years of dispossession \, ethnic cleansing and apartheid.\n\n74 years of displacement and exile.\ n\n74 years of catastrophe.\n\nBut in the face of brutal oppression and sy stematic violence\, Palestinians continue to resist.

End the Occupation. Stop Arming Israel.\n\n\nLast week Israel onc e again launched a bombing campaign of the besieged Gaza strip. Over 3 day s it killed at least 44 Palestinians\, including 15 children. More than 30 0 Palestinians have been wounded and hundreds more displaced.\n\n\nAlthoug h a ceasefire is now in place\, Palestinians are still facing the reality of Israel’s ongoing project of colonisation and ethnic cleansing. The oc cupation of Gaza\, East Jerusalem and the West Bank is in its 55th year\, and Israel continues to intensify its grip\, increase illegal colonisation of the land in defiance of international law\, and deny Palestinians thei r right to self-determination.\n\n\nThis last week\, as the bombs fell on the Gaza strip\, the Israeli government facilitated the storming of Al Aqs a by dozens of Israeli settlers.\n\nThe effects of Israel’s 15-year suff ocating land\, air\, and sea blockade leave Gaza’s medical facilities at breaking point\, and Palestinians without the resources to reconstruct th eir homes and properties after facing Israel’s recurring campaigns of te rror.\n\n\nFrom the river to the sea Palestinians live under a single stru cture of oppression that denies them freedom and equality\, and has been c onfirmed by leading human rights organisations\, including B’tselem\, Hu man Rights Watch and Amnesty International\, as meeting the legal definiti on of the crime of apartheid. The majority of Palestinians remain in exile \, denied the implementation of their right\, enshrined in international l aw\, to return to the homes from which they and their families were expell ed in 1948 and 1967.\n\n\nDespite Israel’s ongoing oppression and violat ions of international law the British government continues to license weap ons and military technology to Israel. Between 2015 and 2020\, the British government licensed at least £400million worth of arms to Israel.\n\n\nL ast week\, not only did the Foreign Secretary and potential PM Liz Truss s upport Israel’s actions\, she also confirmed her intention to increase t rade with Israel\, consider moving the British embassy to Jerusalem in def iance of international law\, and bring in an anti-BDS law.\n\n\nThe bombs may\, for a minute\, have stopped falling on Gaza\, but the injustice cont inues.\n\n\nPalestinians need us to stand in solidarity\, to protest\, and to take action.\n\n\nJoin us as we demand:\n\nEnd Apartheid\nEnd the Occu pation\nStop Arming Israel\n\n\nCalled by: Palestine Solidarity Campaign\, Friends of Al-Aqsa\, Palestinian Forum in Britain\, Stop the War Coalitio n\, Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament\, Muslim Association of Britain ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://palestinecampaign.org/wp-content/uploads /demo-graphic-insta-square-2.png LOCATION:Opposite 10 Downing Street\, 10 Downing Street\, London\, SW1A 2AA \, United Kingdom X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=10 Downing Street\, London\ , SW1A 2AA\, United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Opposite 10 Downing Street:geo:0,0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:2512@palestinecampaign.org DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20220910 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20220911 DTSTAMP:20220909T155945Z URL:https://palestinecampaign.org/events/boycott-puma-day-of-action/ SUMMARY:Boycott Puma Day of Action DESCRIPTION:\n\nIn less than four years\, coordinated action across the wor ld has caused PUMA to loose £millions worth of lucrative sports contracts \, and led to tens of thousands of people of conscience boycotting its pro ducts.\n\nDespite this\, Puma continues to ignore hundreds of Palestinian sports teams\, and maintains its unethical sponsorship of the Israel Footb all Association\, lending legitimacy to Israel’s ongoing dispossession o f the Palestinian population.\n\nUntil Puma stops severs its relationship with the IFA\, we’ll keep up the pressure\, and continue to grow our cam paign to make 2022 the year PUMA ends its partnership with Israeli aparthe id.\n\nOn Saturday September 10th 2022\, join campaigners across the world in taking an action at a Puma store or stockist! \n\nList of actions (mo re tbc):\n\nBirmingham: 1 New Street\, Birmingham\, B2 4RF. 12pm-2pm.\n\nB righton: Assemble 12 noon\, Clock Tower\, for protests outside local Puma stockists\n\nBristol\, Sports Direct\, Broadmead\, 2pm\n\nExeter: Bedfor d Square\, 11am-1pm\n\nHull: Meeting 11:30 in front of the rail station\, leaflet near Sports Direct\n\nKingston: JD Sports\, 20 Church Street 12pm -2pm\n\nLiverpool: Bottom of Church Street outside HSBC\, 12noon\n\nLondon (Central)\, Puma Store on Carnaby Street\, W1F 9QE\, 12pm-2pm.\n\nLuton: Meet outside HSBC\, George Street. 12pm-2pm\n\nNottingham: Sports Direct\, Clumber Street\, 11am\n\nPlymouth: Sports Direct on New George St Plymout h\, 11am-1pm\n\nSlough: Meet at PUMA stockist J D Sports\, High Street\, S lough (corner of The Observatory Shopping Centre). 12pm-2pm.\n\nSouthampto n: Near Sports Direct\, City Centre\, 11am-1pm\n\nWorthing: 12 noon till 1.30pm\, outside Sports Direct and JD Sports\n\nSaturday 17th September\n\ nNewcastle: 12 - 2pm outside Sports Direct\, Northumberland Street\n\nNew port: John Frost Square\, 11am\n\n \; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://palestinecampaign.org/wp-content/uploads /puma-graphic-3.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:2520@palestinecampaign.org DTSTART:20220918T140000Z DTEND:20220918T153000Z DTSTAMP:20220914T073543Z URL:https://palestinecampaign.org/events/lydd-london-solidarity-group-al-l ydd-dispossession-and-resistance/ SUMMARY:Lydd London Solidarity Group: Al-Lydd - Dispossession and Resistanc e DESCRIPTION:An event by East London Unite Community\, and Lydd London Solid arity Group:\n\nFind out more here.\n\nTo mark the launch of the Lydd Lond on Solidarity Group\, a partnership between East London Unite Community an d the Al-Lydd 48 Charity Association\, join this film screening of two fil ms about Lydd\, and online discussion with activists in the city.\n\nThe N akba of Lod is a recent documentary made for Israel’s Social TV network\ , detailing the events of 1948 and the forced removal of most of Lydd’s population.

In August 2022\, Israel once again bombarded the besieged Gaza strip\, home to over 2 million Palestini ans. The attack killed 49 Palestinians\, including 17 children.\n\nIn the occupied West Bank\, the Israeli military continues its armed raids of doz ens of Palestinian towns including Jenin and Nablus\, where dozens of Pale stinians have been killed by Israeli soldiers since the start of 2022.\n\n This violence is made possible because of Israel’s trade in arms with co untries around the world\, including the UK\, and the complicity of compan ies and banks that continue to aid Israel’s violence - including Barclay s.\n\nOur research has uncovered that Barclays invests over £1billion+ in arms companies supplying Israel\, as well as providing them with financia l services. This includes investment in Israeli arms manufacturer\, Elbit Systems. Elbit Systems specialises in the production of military technolog y\, surveillance systems\, and military drones – used to brutalise Pales tinians in Israel’s repeated bombardments of the Gaza Strip.\n\nAgainst severe repression\, Palestinians continue to resist Israel’s apartheid a nd occupation regime.

Be hind the polished image that FIFA\, corporate sponsors\, and the Qatari go vernment will present\, the World Cup has been built on the back of hyper- exploited migrant labour. The infrastructure that the tournament will rely on has been built by migrant workers forced by global capitalist exploita tion into a system that exposes them to forced labour\, unpaid wages\, and brutal working conditions around the world. In Qatar\, they will also be subjected to the coercive Kafala system.\n\nThe World Cup is symptomatic o f a broader truth. Human rights abusing states use major sporting events t o refashion their image – spending vast amounts of money to obscure thei r repression\, and improve their reputation – in what is known as sports washing. The cases are many.\n\nIsrael\, for example\, uses sporting event s to falsely depict itself as a modern\, sports values-respecting democrat ic state – attempting to obscure its regime of settler-colonialism\, mil itary occupation\, and apartheid against Palestinians. Israeli government support brings in cherished international football teams for “friendly ” matches. In professional cycling\, the Israeli government-funded pro c ycling team is explicit about its goal to enhance Israel’s standing in t he eyes of the public – at a time when millions across the world are rec ognising Israel’s oppression of Palestinians.\n\nJoin this webinar to le arn more about sportswashing\, the role of dirty sponsorship money  – a nd how we can work to amplify the voices of those resisting repression and struggling for justice for all.\n\n[expand title="Read More"]\n\nIn Assoc iation Football\, investment vehicles controlled by the repressive\, disse nt-crushing dictatorial monarchies of the Gulf have purchased entire clubs in the top French and English leagues. Putin-allied billionaires have als o purchased major football clubs and NBA teams. In golf\, the Saudi Public Investment Fund has spent billions to launch the LIV Golf Tour\, which\, with honourable exceptions\, has attracted some of the world’s highest p rofile players – despite its role in sanitising the regime’s reputatio n. Military fighter jet “flyovers” have become the norm at US football matches. Elsewhere\, massive sporting events like the Olympics have been used to squash dissent\, and accelerate processes of gentrification.\n\nTh ese are all examples of a deliberate strategy to use sports to launder sta te images.\n\nCorporations\, on the other hand\, lend legitimacy to sports washing events and sporting bodies through sponsorship\, regardless of hum an rights violations. While some corporations are distancing themselves fr om the World Cup in Qatar\, the Carrefour supermarket chain has doubled do wn. German brand Puma sponsors the Israel Football Association\, which adv ocates for\, and governs on behalf of clubs in illegal Israeli settlements on stolen Palestinian land. Join this webinar to learn more about sportsw ashing\, the role of dirty sponsorship money  – and how we can work to amplify the voices of those resisting repression and struggling for justic e for all.\n\n[/expand]\n\nSpeakers:\n\nShireen Ahmed (Chair) is a multi- platform sports journalist\, a TEDx speaker\, mentor\, and an award-winnin g sports activist who focuses on the intersections of racism and misogyny in sports.\n\nAbdullah Al-Arian is a professor of modern Middle East histo ry.

DESCRIPTION:Go to list of actions\n\nPUMA may have a new CEO\, but it’s t he same old story as far as its complicity in Israeli apartheid goes. PUMA is still ignoring Palestinian sports teams\, and sponsoring the Israel Fo otball Association\, which governs for football teams in illegal Israeli s ettlements\, on stolen Palestinian land.\n\nPUMA sponsors the Israel Footb all Association\, which not only governs teams in illegal Israeli settleme nts on stolen Palestinian land\, it also actively advocates to maintain th em\, including via the corrupt FIFA.\n\nPUMA is feeling the pressure from the global campaign. Just a few weeks ago the Oakland Roots Sports Club in California became the latest professional team – first in the US – to drop PUMA following a year of engagement with local grassroots groups and fan clubs. They join a host of football clubs\, including many in the UK\ , who have severed ties with PUMA during the course of the international c ampaign.\n\nLast year we pledged #NoRestForPUMA until it ends complicity i n Israeli apartheid. We’re keeping that pledge.\n\nLet’s send the new CEO a message. As long as PUMA profits from Israeli apartheid\, we will co ntinue to escalate our global boycott campaigns. Take action outside a PU MA store or stockist to demand PUMA ends its complicity in Israeli aparthe id.\n\nList of Actions\n\nAbergavenny: Opposite Waterstones\, 11am-1pm\n\n Brighton\, Assemble Clock Tower\, BN1 1HJ\, 12 noon\n\nCardiff: JD Sports\ , Queen Street\, 11am-1pm\n\nCoventry\, JD Sports\, The Precinct\, 10am\n \nExeter\, Bedford Square\, 12pm\n\nHastings\, Outside Owens\, Town Centr e\, 12pm\n\nLeicester: Sports Direct\, Gallowtree Gate\, 10am-12pm\n\nLon don (Central): PUMA Flagship Store\, Carnaby St\, W1F 9QE\, 12pm-2pm\n\nLu ton: Meet St George's Square Outside Costa\, 12.50pm\n\nManchester: Marke t Street\, 12.30pm\n\nNewport: John Frost Square\, 11am\n\nNorthampton: S ports Direct\, Abington Street\, 11am-12pm\n\nNorwich: Sports Direct\, 40- 46 St Stephens St\, NR1 3SH\, 11am-12pm\n\nPlymouth: New George Street\, 1 1am\n\nStevenage: Meet outside Sports Direct\, The Forum\, Stevenage SG1 1 EH\, 12.30pm to 1.30pm\, followed by leafleting at 2.15pm to 3pm at Steven age FC.\n\nWolverhampton: Queen’s Square\, 11am-1pm\n\nWorthing: Outside Sports Direct and JD Sports\, 12pm-1.15pm.

As Israel approached its elections\, and in the f ace of sustained Palestinian resistance to injustice\, this violence inten sified further. The election\, when it came\, brought into government a fa r-right racist and homophobic bloc. This intensification of violence is a function of the enforcement of a racist system of power that is now accept ed across International civil society as meeting the definition of aparthe id. Palestinians resisting apartheid need our solidarity more than ever.\n \nYet here in Britain\, the government has threatened to bring in a law ai ming to prevent public bodies like universities from divesting from compan ies involved in the abuse of Palestinian rights\, and\, last year\, the th en-Education Secretary threatened that universities should report students who call for Palestinian liberation “from the river to the sea” to th e police (aside from being incredibly draconian\, this would be near impos sible to implement). The government also pressured the NUS to launch an in vestigation into antisemitism\, using the discredited IHRA definition whic h conflates antisemitism with legitimate advocacy for Palestinian rights.\ n\nThis February\, students across Britain are taking action to show that our voices will not be silenced: we will stand in solidarity with Palestin ians and continue to campaign for our universities to divest fully from co mpanies that are complicit in Israel’s system of apartheid.\nHow can you get involved?\n\n Join the day of action!

DESCRIPTION:Go to list of actions across Britain!\n\n\n\nTake action at a h igh street Barclays branch near you: demand the bank stop investing in com panies supplying Israel with weapons and military technology used to assau lt Palestinians.\n\nMilitarised violence against the Palestinian people is a central feature of Israel’s regime of settler-colonialism\, occupatio n and apartheid.\n\nIn 2023\, Israel has continued its attacks on Palestin ians. On 26 January\, Israeli armed forces invaded Jenin\, and killed 10 P alestinians in a single raid. In January\, at least 35 Palestinians were k illed by Israeli forces\, including children\, while hundreds more have be en injured.\n\nThis violence is made possible because of Israel’s trade in arms with countries around the world\, including the UK\, and the compl icity of companies and banks that continue to aid Israel’s violence – including Barclays.\n\nOur research has uncovered that Barclays invests ov er £1billion+ in arms companies supplying Israel\, including Elbit System s. It specialises in the production of military technology\, surveillance systems\, and military drones – used to brutalise Palestinians in Israel ’s regular attacks\, including its repeated bombardments of the Gaza Str ip.\n\nIn late March the world marks the UN Day for the Elimination of Rac ial Discrimination and remembers those killed resisting white minority rul e in South Africa. During that time\, Barclays was a key target of anti-ap artheid campaigners worldwide because of its financial links with the apar theid regime.\n\nPalestinians have called on us to revive this history\, a nd stand in solidarity with their anti-apartheid struggle\, by pressuring Barclays bank to divest from companies like Elbit Systems.\n\nWith Barclay s continuing to be complicit in the crime against humanity of apartheid\, through its financial ties with companies arming Israel\, we must take act ion in solidarity with Palestinians resisting Israel’s violence to deman d Barclays #StopBankingOnApartheid.\n\nList of actions:\n\nAbergavenny: Ba rclays\, Frogmore Street\, 10.30am\n\nBirmingham: Barclays\, 79-84 High St reet\, 1pm-3pm\n\nBolton: Barclays\, Victoria Square\, 11am\n\nBrighton: B arclays\, North Street\, 12pm-2pm\n\nBrixton: Barclays\, 463/465 Brixton R d\, 12pm-2pm\n\nBristol: Barclays\, Broadmead Shopping Centre\, 12pm-2pm\n \nCanterbury: 9 St George Street\, 11am-2pm\n\nCardiff: Barclays\, Working Street\, 11am\n\nCoventry: Barclays\, 25 High Street\, 12pm-1pm\n\nDurham : Market Square\, 11am-2pm\n\nExeter: Bedford Square\, 12.15pm-2.15pm\n\nH arrow: Barclays\, 355 Station Road\, 11am-1pm\n\nHastings: Barclays\, Quee ns Road\, 12pm-2pm\n\nHereford: Barclays\, Broad St\, 11am-12.30pm\n\nHitc hin: Barclays\, High Street Hitchin\, 10.30am-12pm\n\nHull: Barclays\, Vic toria Square\, 11am-1pm\n\nKingsbury: Barclays\, 505-507 Kingsbury Road\, 11am-1pm\n\nKingston: Barclays\, 6 Clarence Street\, 12pm\n\nLeamington Sp a: Barclays\, 48/50 The Parade\, 12pm-1pm\n\nLeeds: Barclays\, Albion Stre et\, LS1\, 10.30am-2pm\n\nLuton: Barclays\, 28 George Street\, 1pm-2pm\n\n Manchester: Piccadilly Gardens\, Meet at 11am\n\nNewham: Barclays\, 304 Gr een Street\, E7\, 12pm-2pm\n\nNewport: Barclays\, Commercial Street\, 11am -1pm\n\nNottingham: Barclays\, High Street\, 12pm\n\nNorthampton: Barclays \, Abington Street\, 11am-1pm.\n\nOxford: Barclays\, Cornmarket\, 11am\n\n Sheffield: Barclays\, 10-12 Pinstone Street\, 12pm\n\nShrewsbury: Barclays \, 44-46 Castle Street\, 11am-1pm\n\nSouthampton: Barclays\, 67B Above Bar St\, 11am-12.45pm\n\nSouthend: Barclays\, 127 High Street\, 1.30pm-3.30pm \n\nTunbridge Wells: Barclays\, 8 Calverley Road\, 10.15-11.30am\n\nWilles den Green: Barclays\, 5 High Road\, 11am-1pm\n\nWolverhampton: Queen Sq\, 11am-1pm\n\nWorthing: Barclays Bank\, 1 Chapel Road\, 12pm-1.15pm ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://palestinecampaign.org/wp-content/uploads /MicrosoftTeams-image-1-2.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:2591@palestinecampaign.org DTSTART:20230330T183000Z DTEND:20230330T200000Z DTSTAMP:20230307T095409Z URL:https://palestinecampaign.org/events/stop-the-jnf-land-day-webinar/ SUMMARY:Stop the JNF: Land Day Webinar DESCRIPTION:\n\nREGISTER HERE\n\nLand Day is one of the most important days marking Palestinian resistance to Israeli occupation and apartheid.

We made sure its 75th anniver sary AGM last month was dominated by it’s the topic of its ties to Israe li apartheid.  \n\nProtesters massed outside the venue\, while inside ac tivist shareholders took PUMA’s senior management to task on the company ’s continued sponsorship of the IFA. On social media\, we took over PUMA ’s hashtags with calls for it to finally end to its sponsorship of the I FA. Social media posts directed potential PUMA shoppers to a new website o utlining the truth about the company’s unethical ties. \n\nWe must keep the pressure up. Palestinian sports teams continue to demand that PUMA st op its support for human rights abuses against them. But PUMA keeps ignori ng them.  \n\nAt the AGM\, PUMA’s CEO Arne Freundt was forced to ackno wledge the widespread protests\, but refused commit to end PUMA’s ties w ith the IFA.  \n\nAs Israel’s land grabs continue apace its more impor tant than ever that we take action against companies supporting Israel’s land grabs\, like PUMA. \n\nJoin an action outside a PUMA store or stock ist near you.

Hund reds of Palestinians have been killed in military invasions\, assassinatio ns and bombing campaigns. These attacks are a feature of Israel’s system of military occupation and apartheid against Palestinians. \n\nIsrael’ s violence is made possible because of its trade in arms with countries ar ound the world\, including the UK\, and the complicity of companies and ba nks that continue to aid Israel’s violence – including Barclays. \n\n Our research has uncovered that Barclays invests over £1billion+ in arms companies supplying Israel. This includes Boeing\, who produce the Apache attack helicopter which Israel has used to fire missiles at Palestinians d uring attacks on Jenin refugee camp\, and Elbit Systems\, which produces a rmoured drones used to brutalise Palestinians\, including its repeated bom bardments of the besieged Gaza Strip. \n\nPalestinians continue to stand firm and defend their communities against Israel’s violence. They have c alled on us to take action in solidarity with their struggle\, including t hrough pressuring financial institutions\, like Barclays bank\, to divest from companies facilitating the violence they face.  \n\nOn 23 September 2023\, take action in solidarity with Palestinians resisting Israel’s v iolence to demand Barclays #StopBankingOnApartheid.  \n\nList of actions :\n\nSaturday 23 September 2023:\n\nBirmingham: Barclays\, 79-84 High St\, Birmingham B4 7TE\, 11.30am-1pm\n\nBolton: Barclays\, Town Centre\, 11am- 12noon\n\nBrighton: Barclays\, 139/142 North Street\, BN1 1RU\, 12 noon-1. 30pm \n\nBristol: Barclays\, at the Podium in the middle of Broadmead Sho pping Centre\, BS1 3EA\, 12noon-2pm\n\nCardiff: Barclays\, Working Street\ , 11am-1pm \n\nCoventry: Barclays Bank\, High Street\, 12 noon-2pm \n\nE dinburgh: Corner of Princes Street/North Castle Street\, 11am\n\nHarrow: B arclays Bank\, 355 Station Road\, Harrow HA1 2AW\, 11am-1pm\n\nHastings: B arclays\, 207-208 Queens Rd\, Hastings TN34 1QP\, 12noon-2pm\n\nHereford: Barclays\, Broad Street\, HR4 9BH\, 11am\n\nHull: Barclays Bank\, Victoria Square\, Hull\, 11am-1pm\n\nLondon\, Ilford: Barclays Bank\, High Road Il ford\, IG1 1DE\, 10am-1pm\n\nLondon\, Kingsbury: Barclays Bank\, 505-507 K ingsbury Road\, Kingsbury\, London NW9 9EG\, 11am-1pm\n\nLondon\, Waltham Forest: Meet for publicity photos at Waltham Forest Town Hall\, Forest Rd\ , E17 4JF at 11am.

These dangerous bills remove the legal protection that has been aw arded to boycotts for generations\, granting governments the power to cond ition jobs on political viewpoints.\n\nAs this wave of anti-boycott legisl ation has swept through US\, so has a counter-wave in defense of freedom o f speech. Everyday Americans are challenging these laws for their constitu tionality in a nation-wide battle likely to go all the way to the Supreme Court.\n\nWith full access to the plaintiffs and in revelatory moments wit h elected officials\, Boycott chronicles one of the most consequential Fir st Amendment battles of the past few decades and investigates the question – how did we get here?\n\nTickets - Register here!\n\nThis a free event but we welcome donations to help cover the costs of the event and support our work for Palestine.\n\nRefreshments\n\nDrinks and snacks will be avai lable to purchase at the venue.\n\nMark your calendars and don't miss out on this important film.

Hear what you can do to help stop t his dangerous bill from ever becoming law.\n\nThe toxic anti-boycott bill threatens to erode local democracy\, restrict freedom of expression\, and undermine campaigns for social and climate justice. It will prevent public authorities – including local councils\, the Scottish and Welsh governm ents\, universities\, and public sector pension funds – from making ethi cal choices about spending and investment.\n\nThe government’s main targ et is campaigns organised in response to the Palestinian call for Boycott\ , Divestment\, and Sanctions (BDS) to pressure Israel into ending its viol ations of human rights and international law. It could also hit campaigns against deforestation\, pollution\, and the exploitation of children and w orkers around the world.\n\nBoycott and divestment have long been used to campaign peacefully for progressive change – from the movement against t he trans-Atlantic slave trade\, to the struggle against apartheid in South Africa. A broad coalition of more than 70 organisations including trade u nions\, charities\, NGOs\, faith\, climate justice\, human rights\, and so lidarity groups are calling on MPs to reject this dangerous bill in parlia ment.\n\nClick to register here ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://palestinecampaign.org/wp-content/uploads /Right-to-Boycott-ONLINE-RALLY-8.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:2636@palestinecampaign.org DTSTART:20231006T180000Z DTEND:20231006T200000Z DTSTAMP:20231004T070252Z URL:https://palestinecampaign.org/events/fragments-of-palestine-tim-sander s-exhibition/ SUMMARY:Fragments of Palestine - Tim Sanders Exhibition DESCRIPTION:Tower Hamlets &\; Newham PSC are pleased to announce the fir st chance to see Tim Sanders' pictures from his recent trip to Palestine.\ n\nRich Mix\, 35-47 Bethnal Green Rd\, London E1 6LA.\n\nOpening event: F riday October 6th\, 6-8 pm at which Tim will introduce the drawings and pa intings.\n\nSigned prints and other items will shortly be available to buy at the Palestine Solidarity Campaign shop and other outlets.\n\nThis is t he first in a series of exhibitions over the next year.\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://palestinecampaign.org/wp-content/uploads /timsanders-scaled.jpg LOCATION:Rich Mix\, 47 Bethnal Green Rd E1 6LA\, London\, London\, United Kingdom GEO:51.5293086;-0.061047799999983 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=47 Bethnal Green Rd E1 6LA \, London\, London\, United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Rich Mix:ge o:51.5293086,-0.061047799999983 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:2625@palestinecampaign.org DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20231007 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20231008 DTSTAMP:20231006T103022Z URL:https://palestinecampaign.org/events/right-to-boycott-day-of-action/ SUMMARY:Right to Boycott - Day of Action DESCRIPTION:\n\nOn 7 October take action locally to defend the Right to Boy cott!

Israel's genocidal assault has kill ed many tens of thousands and displaced 90% of Gaza's population. Across t heir homeland and in exile\, Palestinians are subjected to a system of opp ression that is recognised internationally as meeting the legal definition of the crime of apartheid.\n\nOver nine remarkable months\, millions in B ritain have so far taken to the streets in an unprecedented series of demo nstrations demanding an end to British state\, corporate and institutional complicity in Israel's crimes.\n\nNow\, this historic movement will come together to discuss the urgent need to escalate our struggle for Palestini an freedom.\n\nOn 10 August\, a major conference in London will chart the way forward. We must mobilise popular pressure\, across every sector of so ciety\, to break the ties of complicity linking British institutions and c orporations to Israel’s machine of murder and oppression.\n\nThe inspiri ng student encampments have already brought a renewed focus on academic bo ycott and divestment – the withdrawal of investments from companies that are implicated in sustaining Israeli apartheid.\n\nTrade union activists\ , artists\, and members of the public are now demanding that local council s\, universities\, cultural institutions\, and financial institutions like Barclays\, cut their ties to apartheid and divest their funds from compan ies that are arming and enabling Israel's genocide.\n\nDon’t miss this l andmark conference. Join movement leaders and campaigners as we plan the n ext steps for the solidarity movement.\n\nSpeakers include:\n\nOmar Bargho uti\, co-founder of the BDS movement\nGhassan Abu-Sittah\, British-Palesti nian surgeon\nBen Jamal\, Director of Palestine Solidarity Campaign\nFranc esca Albanese\, UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967\n\n\n\n\nLocation: Centra l Hall Westminster\, Storey’s Gate\, SW1H 9NH.\n\nTime and Date: Saturd ay 10 August\, 10.15am till 4.30pm\n\n\nVenue accessibility statement.

For more than a yea r\, Israel and its supporters have denied that the true aim of the genocid al assault on Gaza has been the destruction of the Palestinian population\ , and denial of all of their rights including the right to self determinat ion. Backed and supported by the USA for its own imperial interests\, that objective is now explicit. We must act urgently to stop this monstrous p lan. \nThis Saturday\, 8 February we are asking all our supporters to be o ut mobilising for the February 15 demonstration to the US Embassy. We need hundreds of thousands to join us on the streets of London for a huge marc h from Whitehall to the US Embassy to send a clear message to the British government and to Trump – freedom for Palestine\, no to ethnic cleansing \, stop arming Israel.\nList of actions\n\nBletchley: Meet on Redway outs ide McDonald's\, MK1 1ET\, 1.30pm\n\nEssex: Essex march for Palestine\, g ather at Oaklands Park\, Chelmsford\, CM2 9AQ\, 12noon\n\nLondon (High Wyc ombe): Opposite Mezza House\, Church Street\, HP11 2DE\, 12noon\n\nLondon (Lambeth &\; Wandsworth): Brockwell Park Gates\, Herne Hill\, 1.30pm\n \nLondon (Walthamstow): The Hornbeam\, 458 Hoe Street\, E17 9AH\, 5pm\n\n Milton Keynes: Milton Keynes train station\, 11am\n\nPlymouth: New Georg e Street\, between Sundial and Tesco\, 12noon\n\nSlough: Lidl\, Twitches Lane\, SL1 5AL\, 12noon\n\nTunbridge Wells: Barclays\, 8 Calverley Road\, TN1 2TB\, 12noon\n\nWelwyn Garden City: United Reformed Church\, Church Road\, AL8 6PR\, 10.30am ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://palestinecampaign.org/wp-content/uploads /ORIG-11-e1738843827596.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:2903@palestinecampaign.org DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London;VALUE=DATE:20250213 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London;VALUE=DATE:20250214 DTSTAMP:20250210T132219Z URL:https://palestinecampaign.org/events/workplace-day-of-action-for-pales tine/ SUMMARY:Workplace Day of Action for Palestine DESCRIPTION:Workplace Day of Action for Palestine \n\nThursday 13 February 2025 \n\nIn your workplace around the country \n\n#Workplaces4Palestine \n\nAs we share the enormous relief expressed by Palestinians that a cease fire agreement has finally been reached in the Gaza Strip\, we also share their grief and trepidation. Benjamin Netanyahu has already threatened to break the ceasefire as soon as the first phase is complete. Disgracefully\ , Donald Trump has called for the ethnic cleansing of millions of Palestin ians from Gaza and Israel’s violence against Palestinians in the West Ba nk has not stopped.

The call has provided a strategy for people around the world to engage in meaningful action to help create the conditions for Palestinians to succee d in their struggle for freedom and justice.\n\nThe 20th anniversary of th e call comes as Palestinians continue to face one of the darkest hours in their enduring liberation struggle. Israel’s genocide in the Gaza Strip continues\, with many tens\, if not hundreds of thousands of Palestinians killed. Across the rest of Palestine\, Israel is ramping up its land grabs \, ethnic cleansing and military invasions.\n\nEnding British complicity i n Israel’s genocide\, settler-colonialism and apartheid couldn’t be mo re urgent.\n\nThis major conference in London will look at how we escalate our targeted boycott campaigns against complicit corporations\, continue to win divestment from councils and universities\, and step up our call fo r sanctions on Israel.\n\n\nLocation: Central Hall Westminster\, Storey ’s Gate\, SW1H 9NH.\n\nTime and Date: Saturday 12 July\, 10.15am till 4 .30pm\n\n\nVenue accessibility statement. If you have further questions\, please email info@palestinecampaign.org in advance of the conference.\n \nRefreshments will be available\, however please note that no lunch is pr ovided. \n\nBook your tickets here.\n\n \; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://palestinecampaign.org/wp-content/uploads /thumbnail_PSC-UPDATED--e1749453730856.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:3008@palestinecampaign.org DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250712T090000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250712T150000 DTSTAMP:20250709T120611Z URL:https://palestinecampaign.org/events/palestine-bloc-at-durham-miners-g ala/ SUMMARY:Palestine Bloc at Durham Miners' Gala DESCRIPTION:Saturday 12th July\, the Durham Miners' Gala (Big Meeting) will be taking place.

Coca-Cola's franch isee in Israel operates a regional distribution centre in an illegal Israe li settlement in occupied Jerusalem. It’s therefore helping to entrench Israel’s illegal military occupation and colonisation of Palestinian lan d.\n\nWhen supermarkets in Britain sell this produce\, they are profiting from Israel’s land theft and ethnic cleansing. Right now\, Palestinians in the West Bank are facing relentless land grabs and attacks from the Isr aeli military and armed settlers. Nearly 50 Palestinian communities have b een partly or completely forcibly displaced in the past two years. In Brit ain\, we can meaningfully oppose this violence by refusing to buy goods fr om companies enabling it\, hitting their profit margins.\n\nJoin your loca l PSC branch on Saturday 15 November as we hold protests and stalls at sup ermarkets across Britain to call on them to stop stocking Israeli products and Coca-Cola\, and to grow the consumer boycott of these goods.\n\nList of Actions:\n\nBrighton: London Road near Costa Coffee (opposite the Co-op ) 12-2pm\n\nChester: Opposite Town Hall\, 12noon-1pm\n\nCoventry: Sainsb ury's\, Coventry Railway Station\, 12noon-2pm\n\nHitchin: Meet at Hitchin War Memorial1A Churchyard SG5 1HR at 11am for a reading before leafletting \n\nLondon\, Catford: Outside Costa Coffee\, 99-105 Bushey Green\, SE6 4AF \n\nLondon\, Cricklewood: meet at Tesco Express\, Portfield\, 214-218 Cric klewood Broadway\, NW2 3RD. 12-2pm.\n\nLondon\, Harrow: Tesco Superstore\, Station Road\, HA1 2TU. 12-2pm\n\nLondon\, Ilford: Sainsbury's\, 55 Rod en Street\, IG1 2AA\n\nLondon\, Ladbroke Grove: Sainsburys\, Ladbroke Grov e\, W10\, 2pm-4pm\n\nLondon\, Merton: Raynes Park Station\, 11am\n\nLondo n\, Newham: Tesco\, 346 Green Street\, E13 9AP\, 1pm-2pm\n\nLondon\, Towe r Hamlets: Meet at Whitechapel Gallery (Aldgate East Tube Station) at 12p m\n\nLondon\, Wembley: meet at the Triangle traffic lights. 12.30-2.30pm\n \nMilton Keynes: Central MK\, 86-88 Midsummer Blvd\, MK9 3GB\, 10am-11.30 am\n\nNorthampton: Cobbler's Last\, Abington St. 2-3pm\n\nNottingham: Tes co Express\, 4-6 Bottle Lane\, NG1 2HL\, 12pm\n\nPontypridd: Sainsbury's\ , CF37 4DA\, 10am-12noon\n\nReading: Outside John Lewis\, Broad St\, 12no on-2pm\n\nSlough: Lidl\, Twinches Lane\, SL1 5AL\, 12noon-2pm\n\nSouthend : Outside Sainsbury's\, 45 London Road\, SS1 1PL\, 12noon-2pm\n\n \; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://palestinecampaign.org/wp-content/uploads /DBA-doa-e1762349308352.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:3070@palestinecampaign.org DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20251120T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20251120T210000 DTSTAMP:20251117T141213Z URL:https://palestinecampaign.org/events/public-meeting-the-industry-of-si lence-the-ongoing-nakba-and-the-racialisation-of-palestinians-with-dr-zahi ra-jaser/ SUMMARY:Public Meeting – “The Industry of Silence: the ongoing Nakba an d the racialisation of Palestinians”\, with Dr Zahira Jaser DESCRIPTION:Public Meeting hosted by Brighton &\; Hove Palestine Solidar ity Campaign\nDr Zahira Jaser will explain how Palestinians are dehumanise d through the global industry of silence\, a web of racializing organisati ons which ensure that Palestinians are always watched and surveilled\, but never seen in their suffering and never heard as humans.

This event will f eature a screening of The Descendants of the Orange\, followed by a live Q &\;A with the director. The second part of the evening is a talk by Nic k Georges about his experiences as a Humanitarian Witness.\n\nThe film is a deeply moving short documentary that tells the story of a Palestinian fa mily from Nur Shams refugee camp in Tulkarm\, tracing their journey from t heir original village of Sabbarin during the 1948 Nakba to their repeated displacement in the present day. Through intimate\, first-hand testimonies \, the film captures what it means to live as a refugee across generations — not as an abstract concept\, but as a lived reality shaped by loss\, memory\, and resilience. Watch the Trailer: https://youtu.be/W2bqDjRo9e8\ n\nThe film is followed by a talk from Nick Georges who has been engaged w ith the Palestinian cause for many years. At just 17 years old\, witnessin g the refugee camps of Beirut left a lasting impression. Decades later\, h e travelled to Palestine as a Humanitarian Witness. The realities he encou ntered there - scenes of profound hardship and injustice - have stayed wit h him ever since\, continuing to shape and drive his advocacy.\n\nIn this talk\, Nick will reflect on his time in Palestine\, sharing first-hand exp eriences of the daily injustices faced by Palestinians.

This isn’t just invasive—it’s deadly. Israel uses AI technology to rapidly generate t argets for its bombing campaigns in Gaza which destroy schools\, hospitals and entire neighbourhoods. It utilises cloud software to maintain databas es storing massive amounts of sensitive information on Palestinians\, coll ected through intrusive surveillance and torture\, used to target them for arbitrary arrest and detention in Israel’s prisons and to restrict thei r movement by preventing them from passing military checkpoints.\n\nTech g iants\, like Palantir\, Oracle and Cisco Systems\, provide Israel with IT infrastructure and software essential to carrying out its atrocities.
