How to solve the israel - Palestine conflict? Hope he takes into account that the israeli leadership doesn't want to solve it.

I am pretty sure he is aware of this!

The talk in Manchester has been forced to move after the Jewish Society pressured the University Authorities to make it student only, on the grounds of safety saying that they feared Jewish students would be attacked. Strangely this appears to be the same Jewish Society that will be picketing the event at the new event and sending members into the audience!

Last night in Logan Hall ........... wow fantastic! Total sell out with people sitting on the steps when no seats were available. Loved his talk, he is so good with his facts and he added some very humourous moments which I hadn't expected. Basically he sees the two state option as the solution for many reasons but apart from that which I do not really agree with, his talk was fantastic. What impressed me was that so many young people were there and sooooo many muslims. Of course many jewish activists as well, but it just shows how he appeals to muslims cos to be honest we tend to go for muslim speakers mostly. Anway he gave us lots of reasons to be optimistic that a solution can be found and how isolated Israel is both politically and legally.
