Active-ism Run, Ride, Walk Palestine
Three authors discussed what running, riding and walking in Palestine has meant for them with each reading extracts from their own remarkable books.
“My mother taught me how to be able to celebrate Palestine by welcoming guests to have our food. So, cook Palestinian wherever you are, because you are part of preserving that culture and telling the world we exist.” Fadi Kattan

Host a Supper Club for Palestine this Summer
A Delicious Way To Fundraise
Host a Supper Club for Palestine this summer, share Palestinian-inspired dishes and raise funds for Amos Trust’s vital work in Palestine.
Join us as we honour Palestinian culture by bringing friends, family, or your local community together for a meal as an act of cultural resistance that supports our Gaza and West Bank appeal. Whether it’s a cosy dinner at home or a bigger gathering at a venue, it’s a simple but powerful way to stand in solidarity with Palestinians.
How it works:
“Where politics has been the tool for Israel to divide us, culture has been our tool of uniting ourselves... and that’s why it’s really important for the solidarity of our friends to understand that, we are not that self-centric that we want to eat hummus all the time, but it has become a way of resilience and looking inward to ourselves, putting a nice warm jacket on ourselves by keeping participating and celebrating the cultural element of the Palestinians.” Mahmoud Muna — The Bookseller of Jerusalem

A discussion that centred around whether Coronavirus has created more opportunities for dialogue between Palestinians and Israelis, or if it has further polarised positions. With a call for urgent action over the new Israeli Government’s plans to annex large parts of the West Bank.
With plans to launch new cookbook ‘Falastin’ on hold due to Coronavirus, we invited Sami and Tara, the book’s authors, to join us in conversation with Amos trustee Gemma Bell, to recommend their favourite recipes from the book and share some top tips for that perfect Palestinian Lockdown meal.
Featuring writer, director and academic Ahmed Masoud and journalist Hind Khoudary (above) in conversation with Amos Trust Director Chris Rose. As the blockade of Gaza enters its 13th year, the devastating impact on Gaza’s infrastructure, economy and health service meant that as the pandemic entered the general population, it had a devastating effect. Hear from Ahmed and Hind about what impact coronavirus had on life in the Strip.
With Robert Cohen in conversation with Sami Awad and Elias D’eis discussing the situation in Bethlehem and throughout Palestine today and asking how we in the UK should look to focus our efforts during this time. Sami Awad is Founder of Holy Land Trust in Bethlehem, one of Amos Trust’s partners in the West Bank and Elias D’eis is Holy Land Trust’s Executive Director. Host Robert Cohen is a forthright blogger and one of the leading dissident Jewish voices on Israel-Palestine in Britain today and an Amos trustee.
Although we could not be together in person for our Christmas event in 2020, we came together online for our Bethlehem ‘Big Give’ Christmas Event to stand in solidarity with the children and young people of Palestine this holiday season. With Christmas messages from our partners in Palestine and the premiere of two new films from Gaza, we also heard poetry from Harry Baker, Zena Kazeme and Justin Butcher, music from Martyn Joseph, Garth Hewitt and Beth Rowley and thought-provoking contributions from our friends around the world.
We were delighted to be able to screen ‘Cycling Under Siege in Gaza’ when we were joined by the director Flavia Cappellini and Alaa al-Dali (the subject of the film), for a Q&A afterwards. We were also joined by We Are Not Numbers project manager from Gaza, Issam Adwan, cyclist and author Julian Sayarer and writer and playwright Ahmed Masoud.
The webinar celebrated the launch of our second book of creative writing, ‘Seeds of Hope: More Thoughts and Reflections from Amos Trust’ with special guest Abdelfattah Abusrour from Alrowwad Cultural Centre in Aida Camp, Bethlehem and special guests Garth Hewitt, Martin Wroe, Jane Walker, Katie Hagley and Jill Howard-Gunasekera.
We are delighted to be joined by Palestinian author and lawyer Raja Shehadeh for this special interview and book reading on the 103rd anniversary of the Balfour Declaration. His book ‘Palestinian Walks’ first instilled in us a longing to walk in Palestine and was part of the inspiration behind our Just Walk To Jerusalem project back in 2017, when we walked to Palestine to apologise for the Balfour Declaration on its centenary.
