Iqbal Tamimi and Ed Hill at the Friendship Cafe
The Viva Palestina fundraiser in Gloucester at the Friendship Cafe was excellent last night - Iqbal Tamimi – the journalist, writer and poet of Palestinian Mothers – gave an excellent talk in which she related to a rapt audience ‘Israel’s Guinness Book of World Records’ – Film maker Ed Hill gave an incredibly uplifting report on how well bglink was doing and how positively it was being promoted in local corporate media….managed to get him on film explaining how he became an activist for Palestine…perhaps one of the most moving moments for me anyway was when a Viva Palestina Gloucester Convoy driver related how he got roped into driving in the Convoy last year but the experience changed his life. He’s back in the Convoy this year and has become an activist too….a lot of money was raised too for the Convoy – I think I heard about £200…..
