The centenary of the Balfour Declaration presented a particular challenge for Amos. It always surprises me just how controversial this statement turns out to be. The mantra Amos has adopted to express what the future of Israel/Palestine should look like cuts through all the possible constitutional arrangements to focus on one non-negotiable point: Equal rights for all who call the Holy Land home. It’s built strong partnerships with the dwindling Christian community in the West Bank and Gaza Strip it’s taken ‘pilgrims’ to see the reality of the Occupation up close it’s rebuilt Palestinian homes demolished by Israel’s discriminatory planning regulations and it’s encouraged and funded creative and non-violent resistance to an oppression the world is fully aware of but refuses to take meaningful action against.
