Benzid
(Hertfordshire
NUT Membership Secretary and a recent visitor to Palestine)
A hundred years after its signing,
Bernard Regan recasts the history of the Balfour Declaration as
one of the major events in the story of the Middle East, which have
polarised the region and the entire world. How can we help bring peace
and justice to Palestine?
Israel
is the only country in the world that systematically prosecutes
children in military courts – between 500 and 700 each year.
Sahbi Benzid
will report back on his recent visit, during which he visited several schools in Palestine and saw first-hand the effects of
Israeli policies.
