Israeli politician, Tzipi Livni, will be speaking at a Jewish National Fund event on the evening of Thursday 15th May (location to be confirmed). This is the day when Palestinians mourn their losses – of loved ones, land, homes and country – which began in 1948 and continue until today. The Jewish National Fund was complicit in this act of ethnic cleansing in 1948 and continues to expel Palestinians from their land, yet it enjoys charitable status in Britain.

Livni was one of the architects of the Israeli attack on Gaza 2008/09 which led to the deaths of 1,417 Palestinians – 313 of them children – and injured 5,303.Tell Livni that war criminals are not welcome in Britain. Details about the central London protest will be shared next week.

Ambassador Professor Manuel Hassassian briefs MPs, Peers and Palestine Supporters
|
Grahame Morris MP hosted a PSC Parliamentary meeting, ‘After the Kerry process: where next for Palestine’. In an in-depth discussion the Ambassador said the main cause for the breakdown in the talks was Israel’s ongoing violations and that the Israeli negotiators ‘would not define their borders’. He discussed the Palestinians’ new unity deal, plans for future elections and succession to international bodies. The Ambassador called for Britain and the EU to play a more active role, saying ‘it is not enough to be a payer and not a player – that is simply paying for the occupation’
