Play: Bitter Fruit of Palestine

Play by Richard Morris, directed by Ruth Carney in association with The Caird Company. Reading at The Pleasance Theatre on April 12th as part of the Playing Soldiers season.

The Bitter Fruit Of Palestine

Have been researching this idea for some time. The conflict in Israel.

Using imagination and documented evidence this illuminates some of the attitudes and actions that have led to the present situation in Israel.

The first part of play starts with the evocation of the humilities suffered by a mixed race couple in Dresden in the build up to Second World War and leads on to discussion by Nazi leaders of the Final Solution. The second half will take place in Palestine and attempts to deal with Zionism and its effects on Arabs and Jews alike.

Human Rights & Handcrafts: Palestine Crafts Today

Carol Morton, secretary of the Scottish Palestinian Forum founder of Palcrafts, non-profit Fair Trade organisation, & Colin Morton, Honorary Canon of St George's Cathedral, Jerusalem

This slide show and talk follows their recent journey through the Occupied Territories, punctuated by roadblocks and checkpoints, from Gaza to Hebron, Bethlehem & Ramallah, showing the devastating effects of attacks & closure on the lives and economy of the Palestinian people struggling to live under occupation. Join us for this audio-visual presentation showing the reality on the ground for some of the most marginalised of the Palestinian population - women and other craft producers in community-based workshops in refugee camps and villages - demonstrating their tenacity in ensuring economic survival and preservation of threatened cultural identity. With the Palestinian economy wrecked by Israeli oppression many families' only income is from sale of traditional craftsJoin us to support them and discuss solidarity activism

"The overwhelming majority of stories told by members of the groups were of isolation, few visitors, few sales, need to stop production if not close the project altogether. There was a frequent appeal for sales, not donations. Sales validate the person, the organization, the community, the nation ... We must never give up our support for Palestinians in their struggle for freedom ... Please continue in every way possible your own non-violent resistance: boycott Israeli goods, buy Palestinian; learn more about the situation and write letters to your MSP, MP, MEP; join movements and demonstrate; use whatever skills and talents you have."

Conference: Israeli Law of Return

International Conference on “Israeli Law of Return and its Impact on the Conflict in Palestine”

More than fifty years have elapsed since the Zionist entity enacted one of its most important pieces of legislation aimed at creating an exclusive Jewish state in Palestine. The adoption of the Israeli Law of Return in July 1950 cleared the way for Jews anywhere in the world to migrate to Israel and automatically become citizens. Shortly after, similar legal obstacles were enforced to prevent the return of evicted and exiled Palestinians to their homeland.

MARCH FOR IRAQ

NO to attacking Iraqi People
NO to Saddam Hussein
NO to UN economic sanctions
YES to a free Iraq

The Iraqi issue has constantly been the focus of many campaigns by people of conscience. Some have been calling for an end to sanctions, others have been rallying human rights issues, while others are demanding that the Iraqi people should not be attacked. Yet, all are united by one common focus; the oppressed, suffering, starving, dying, tortured People of Iraq.

At such a crucial time in the history of Iraq, the innocent, voiceless people of this tragic nation need us to speak out for them. No longer can we stand by in silence as the suffering continues. In order to unite under their name and stand for what is right in Iraq, please attend this march for Iraq.

Aims of the demonstration

1. To show solidarity with the starving and oppressed Iraqi civilians.

2. We oppose any aggression against the Iraqi people, and hence:

1. Call for the lifting of non-military sanctions, which have produced a humanitarian disaster of extraordinary proportions in Iraq.
2. Oppose any military action against Iraqi civilians.

3. To demand that Saddam Hussein and his regime be put on trial for crimes against humanity, war crimes, crimes against peace and genocide.

4. To encourage the formation of a free Iraq.
