A Jew in Solidarity with Palestine

 

On Friday 14 May I was invited to speak at a solidarity rally for Palestine organised by Lancaster Friends of Palestine in the North West of England. Around 250 gathered to hear inspiring speeches from Muslim and Palestinian students at the university and their allies. 

Follow this link to read the short speech I gave 'A Jew in Solidarity with Palestine' 

Here's the opening:

I stand with you tonight as a Jewish Student at Lancaster University who is in solidarity with the Palestinian people.

I stand here tonight because what’s happening to the Palestinian people is a crime.

And I stand here tonight to honour the resistance, courage and steadfastness of the Palestinian people.

Despite what you may think, I am not a lone Jewish voice.
