Balfour Day
2nd November 2022

105 years after the UK Government’s Balfour Declaration, which
so many Palestinians see as being the start of a century of
dispossession and suffering.

We Stand
We stand for justice and equal rights
We stand against colonialism
We stand against apartheid
We stand against ethnic cleansing
We stand for human dignity and equality
We stand this day with those whose freedom is denied
We link arms with those who have fled war, torture and despair
We come in penance for broken promises and political fixes
We walk the long road with all those who strive for peace, justice
and reconciliation
We weep with those who long to return to home
We pray in the hope that one day all people in Palestine and Israel
will live in peace as neighbours with full equal rights

Al-Aqsa Mosque Easter 2023

“I will not ask us to hope or pray for an unwinding of tension and for calm to spread — we all want that — but it’s not the point. Instead, this Easter, I would ask that we commit ourselves again to justice, human rights, seeing the humanity in the person before us, recognising their right to exist, their right to live in peace and determine their future, their right to worship their God and the need for us to work together to determine how we can live together.” Chris Rose writes about the situation at Al-Aqsa Mosque during Easter 2023.

A Taste of Palestine A Story They Wouldn’t Run

“I guess I expected a kind of Ottolenghi-style tour, a pomegranate-seed strewn food odyssey with a bit of politics thrown in. Naïve, ignorant, stupid me. Nothing could have prepared me for the mind-blowing gut-wrenching tragedy that is happening in this region.” Sue Quinn writes about Amos’ Taste of Palestine trip.

Palestine/Israel 30 January 2023

There was an awful inevitability to the killings this weekend in Jenin and Jerusalem. We deplore the loss of any life, and our thoughts and prayers are with all those who mourn. While we welcome the US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken flying in to try to calm the situation, this will, at best, be a temporary reprieve in what is an escalating pattern of violence.
