THE Friends of Palestine group in Bradford on Avon has pleaded for peace in Gaza and the West Bank. The group has urged both Israel and the Hamas group in Palestine to call a ceasefire and hold peace talks. Judith Hammond, speaking on behalf of Bradford on Avon Friends of Palestine said: “We condemn violence wherever it comes from: Israeli or Palestinian. “Neither Hamas in Gaza, nor Israeli extremists in East Jerusalem are representative of their own people. “We must look at the underlying reasons that cause Palestinians such despair: unrest has been brewing in East Jerusalem which legitimately should be part of Palestine.

Members of the Bradford on Avon Friends of Palestine group held a virtual quiz to raise more than £700 to help buy digital tablets for schoolchildren in the city of Tubas in the West Bank, adding to £1,500 donated previously. Spokesman Judith Hammond said: “The majority of children in Palestine share a problem with disadvantaged children here in England, needing laptops or tablets in order to continue classes online during lockdown, but have no access to such resources. “The town of Bradford on Avon has a friendship link with Tubas and the group was already fundraising to help improve sports facilities for young people in the city.
