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
“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.
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.
On Friday, 24th September, Amos Trust Director Chris Rose met with Ambassador Dr Husam Zomlot, the Palestinian Ambassador to the UK. The main item in their discussions was UK Prime Minister Liz Truss’ announcement that she is considering relocating the British embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Dr Zomlot has sent this message to Amos Trust supporters.
