Aida refugee camp lives in the shadow of the Israeli separation wall. The camp is over crowded, with no space for children to play. Young people vent their frustration by throwing stones at Israeli watchtowers and into the neighbouring army camp.

Israeli soldiers respond with tear gas and sound bombs, arresting children and firing rubber bullets and live ammunition.

“Young people in Aida Camp believe it is normal to throw stones, to inhale tear gas, to hide from soldiers but this is not normal. We have to let them see what normal life is and to know what they should aspire to.” Abdelfattah Abusrour, Director of Alrowwad Centre for Culture & Arts.

Amos partner, Alrowwad teaches ‘beautiful resistance’ inspiring young people to channel their activism into creative non-violence using music, dance, drama, film and photography.

Amos@6: An Evening with Raja Shehadeh 2 November at 7pm

Season 2, Episode 6: We are delighted to be joined by Palestinian author and lawyer Raja Shehadeh for this special interview and book reading on the 103rd anniversary of the Balfour Declaration. His book Palestinian Walks first instilled in us a longing to walk in Palestine and was part of the inspiration behind our Just Walk back in 2017, when we walked to Palestine to apologise for the Balfour Declaration on its centenary. We look forward to hearing his reflections on the current situation and to hear him reading extracts from Going Home: A Walk Through Fifty Years of Occupation.

Carols for Gaza December 2020

We’re currently trying to plan what, if anything, we’ll be able to offer in terms of a physical carol service this year. We hope to be able to do one face-to-face, non-virtual but socially-distanced event in London — we’re just trying to work out some of the finer details so that we comply with the latest guidelines. As soon as anything is confirmed, we’ll let everyone know.

Complicity, not identity The Cultural Boycott of Israel

“Thousands of artists worldwide have publicly endorsed BDS and many thousands more quietly refuse offers from Israeli music venues, theatres, festivals and production companies. Any artist who does cross the peaceful Palestinian picket line, regardless of intentions, is used by Israel’s far-right apartheid regime to whitewash, or ‘artwash’, and therefore perpetuate its system of oppression against Palestinians.” Palestinian musician Samir Eskanda writes about why the cultural boycott of Israel is vital for the peaceful struggle against Israeli apartheid.

Banishing Justice from the Holy Land Trump’s ‘Vision for Peace’

“If Donald Trump is re-elected President this November, then 2020 will become a defining year for Israel/Palestine. The ever shrinking space for justice will take another mighty contraction as the consequences of Trump’s ‘Vision for Peace’ start to play out.” Robert Cohen writes.

Ahlan from Gaza! Gazan journalist Omar Ghraieb writes exclusively for Amos Trust about life in the Gaza Strip and COVID-19.

“Greetings Dear Readers, from one of the hottest spots in the world, the Gaza Strip. What is known as an impoverished coastal enclave, densely populated and until recently was known as one of the few places that was corona-free — that was until two exogenous cases were detected.” Gazan journalist Omar Ghraieb writes exclusively for Amos Trust about life in the Gaza Strip and COVID-19.
