ONLINE FORUM: VOICES FROM PALESTINE

Thursday 1st February 6pm

*Arrest * Imprisonment* Torture* Siege * Checkpoints * Settlement roads* Injustice * Racism * Interrogation * Children locked up * Loved one's corpses withheld

Before the genocide in Gaza, Israel was already practicing the crime of apartheid against all Palestinians - in the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza.

The oppressive practices take many forms, depriving Palestinians of their basic human rights.

We are deeply honoured to host this meeting with five speakers from across the West Bank and East Jerusalem who, at great personal risk, have chosen to speak out and make people aware of the brutal practices of the Israeli occupation.

Join our online forum to hear Hazem Amro, Ammar Za'tarri, Hind Abu Aisha, Yahya Fahmawi and Rania Hatem describe the daily realities of life in Palestine today.

More information and details of how to join the meeting: Facebook event page.    Instagram page.

UK GOVERNMENT SUSPENDS FUNDING TO UNRWA

The ICJ has ruled that Israel is potentially committing genocide in Gaza. Instead of ending complicity in Israel's violence the UK government has cut aid to the Palestinian people. Write to the government and your MP to demand the UK restore UNWRA funding now:
