"Palestine: more than black and white"

Local photographer James Jagger and teacher Millie Badman-Smith visited the West Bank last summer as part of a creative arts team. They will talk about their experiences and show some striking images of life in the refugee camps around Bethlehem. You can find further details in the attached flyer.

There will also be the opportunity to purchase some special Christmas gifts from the Zaytoun stall.

We do hope that you will be able to attend.

Dr Peter Shambrook, a reputed historian specialising in Middle Eastern history,
gave a talk to WSPSC about the historical roots and consequences of the Balfour
Declaration on Friday 22 October which enlightened and delighted a large
audience at St Nicolas Church in Guildford.

He spoke about the role of the UK and quoted from a speech by the well-known
Anglo-Jewish historian Sir Martin Gilbert (famous for his biography of Winston
Churchill among other works) given in Israel in [2006?} when he said that:

/"The cornerstone of British mandatory policy was the withholding of
representative institutions for as long as there was, in Palestine, an Arab
majority"/

This neat summary of British policy between 1916 and 1948 exposes its
fundamental hypocrisy and largely explains why the Palestinian people have
suffered from its consequences for the last 100 years.

Organizers of the famed Italian cycling race Giro d’Italia have announced the start of the 2018 edition from Israel, starting in Jerusalem followed by stages from Haifa to Tel Aviv and in the Naqab (Negev).

The race will ‘celebrate’ the 70th anniversary of Israel’s establishment on the ruins of the Palestinian homeland and through the ethnic cleansing, or Nakba, of a majority of the indigenous Palestinians.

We have to act to stop this sports-washing of Israel’s occupation and apartheid, dubbed by the media as “a big political coup for [Israel], which has been striving to paint a picture of 'normal' life.”
