Jews For Justice For Palestinians (13 December 2011)

Arthur Goodman, the Parliamentary and Diplomatic Liaison Officer for JFJFP talking about the organisation and answering questions. 

Jews for Justice for Palestinians is a network of Jews who are British or live in Britain, practising and secular, Zionist and not. They oppose Israeli policies that undermine the livelihoods, human, civil and political rights of the Palestinian people.

As well as organising to ensure that Jewish opinions critical of Israeli policy are heard in Britain, they extend support to Palestinians trapped in the spiral of violence and repression. They believe that such actions are important in countering antisemitism and the claim that opposition to Israel’s destructive policies is itself antisemitic.

They work to build world-wide Jewish opposition to the Israeli Occupation, with like-minded groups around the world and are a founding member of European Jews for a Just Peace, a federation of Jewish groups in ten European countries .

There will be an extended question time at the end of the talk, so please come along to what promises to be a lively academic discussion and debate.
