More people should know there is an arms factory directly owned by the Israeli government in Newcastle, UK. The factory belongs to the Israeli government firm Rafeal and is headed by a current member of the House of Lords, John Hutton. Today, Palestine Action shut it down.

Thank you to everyone who picked up a copy of In Waiting on our latest tour. We managed to raise €1000 for Uisce for Gaza. €1000 will pay for 15,000 litres, enough for 12 days for 50 families of 7. Thank you.

When truck 136 arrived in Jabalia Camp, Gaza this week it carried the name of our school & students from TY4 who raised money to sponsor a water truck. Through the Uisce for Gaza initiative the people of the camp have clean drinking water. Very proud of our students. 💙🤍💛

There should be no watering down of the Occupied Territories Bill by this government. It’s absolutely vital that the Bill bans trade of both GOODS and SERVICES with the illegal Israeli settlements.
