| We are sorry that the planned Cafe Palestine for 4 September has been postponed until a future date. Instead we will be holding another ‘Dardesheh’, our forum for open discussion for anyone in the network who would like to join. This will be a chance to catch up on developments in Palestine and in the solidarity movement and to support and sustain each other in the struggle. We hope you will join us on Saturday 4 September at 4pm-5.30pm |

Mondoweiss gives an up-to-date account of the ‘shrinking spaces’ affecting mental health and other humanitarian organisations supporting Palestinians:

A particularly egregious example of the above -leading to the long-term incarceration of a Palestinian and a massive financial burden for a major international aid agency- is described in the following article in the Guardian.
