"Our apology for the impact of Balfour on Palestinians, our rejection of Theresa May’s decision that the British government would be celebrating Balfour and acknowledgement that we had no right to promise this land to another was broadcast live on Palestine TV and set in motion a press onslaught that would follow us through the rest of the walk." A Just Walk reflection from Amos Director Chris Rose.
For Amos, Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions has always been very straightforward: if a government refuses to acknowledge international law and to deny basic human rights, then we have to pursue the non-violent means available to us – to challenge this situation." Amos Director Chris Rose writes about the BDS call against Israel.
"This year marks the seventieth anniversary of the Nakba. It is a sentence that a lot of people will read over the coming months and may choose not to delve too deeply into." Loosely based on a real-life character still living in Gaza, 'The Shroud Maker' is a dark new satire, telling one woman’s story of survival.
"We act not because we are hopeful, but because it is the right thing to do. We act because we have been inspired by our Palestinian friends and because of all that we have learnt from them." Amos Director Chris Rose writes about the 70th anniversary of the Palestinian Nakba.
"Gaza is fast becoming unliveable and there is growing concern that a new conflict will break out. This represents another formidable chapter in the ongoing struggle faced by our partners NECC and Al Ahli Hospital." An update from Chris Rose on our partners and projects in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Amos Trust is running its annual appeal to raise awareness and vital funds to support the women of Gaza in their fight against breast cancer – Women 4 Women. Amos supporter Sarah Baron writes about her experience of meeting the incredible women of the West Bank.
“As women, we have to work vertically at a national level to make the change but also horizontally with other women to empower one another and this is the work that Wi’am is committed to and which we undertake with other women in Bethlehem and across the West Bank.” Meet Lucy Talgieh from Wi’am Conflict Resolution Centre in Bethlehem.
We work alongside grass-roots partners in Palestine, South Africa, Nicaragua, Burundi, India and Tanzania.
Reaching children on the streets, addressing their trauma, working with them and their families to reintegrate them into their homes, to realise their rights and recover their future.
Working with local and international peace activists, and partnering with grass-roots projects, to call for a just peace, reconciliation and full equal rights for all Palestinians and Israelis.
Addressing the impact of climate change and the causes of extreme poverty, building sustainable rural communities and empowering them to realise their rights.
Bringing people together to meet our partners from around the world, visiting the communities they work in and seeing their projects in action — building solidarity and lasting friendships.
