Video of Israeli forces arresting Palestinian children

This video has been shared extensively on social media.  This is not an isolated incident but rather a daily occurance.  The IDF arrests children from areas it should not be in.  It is therefore abreach of International Law to even be there but also of the rights of these children. Remember that most Palestinain children …

Palestinians have a problem with occupiers not Jews

The Middle East Monitor published this article, my first for the website. Friday 30 October 2015 Palestinians have a problem with occupiers not Jews One extremely disturbing feature of the recent clashes between Palestinians and Israelis has been what seems a deliberate framing by Israel of the reasons behind the knife attacks as simply hatred …

Guardian advert calling for boycott of Israeli academic institutions 

I signed the Guardian advert together with over 300 UK academics calling for a boycott of Israrli academic institutions until Israel confirms to International Law. The attacks the advert received from apologists for Israeli Apartheid, racism and occupation were predictable. Those who claim dialogue is better than boycotts have been saying this ever since the …

Netanyahu miscalculated and is to blame for the escalating clashes 

   Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his settler-led Government miscalculated badly when they thought the eyes of the World were on Syria and the Iran deal and that they had a free hand in Palestine. They forgot that they were dealing with a most resilient and fearless people, the indigenous Palestinians. The first and second …

How the Conservative party conference slogan could apply to Palestine injustice

I spoke to the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) and New Statesman Conservative Party Fringe meeting in Manchester on the 6th of October 2015. The title was 'A just policy for Palestine?'. This was the first PSC fringe meeting at a Conservative Party Conference, proof that solidarity with Palestinians is transcending party boundaries.  In fact Palestine …

Watch how Israeli police drag a 13 year old Palestinian child to military trial

This is a most appalling example of the oppression Palestinian children are subjected to by the illegal Israeli occupation.  Jewish children are treated differently to Palestinian children.  Different Laws apply to Palestinians and Jews who live in the same area.  This is shear racism and Apartheid. There is no excuse for this. From April 2015

For Palestinians, crossing the Allenby Bridge to/from Jordan is ultimate humiliation

   The King Hussein / Allenby bridge is the only exit point to the outside world and back for West Bank Pslestinians. The old wooden bridge is long gone and its concrete replacement links Jordan and what should be Palestine as it straddles the Jordan river. Calling it a river glorifies it. It is almost …
