Manchester, England. 7th June 2008. Palestine Lives 2008 is a celebration of Palestinian art, culture, history and experience organised by Manchester Palestine Solidarity Campaign. It brings together artists, poets and musicians from Palestine and England to celebrate Palestine and its culture 60 year after the Palestinian Nakba, Zionism's ethnic cleansing of Palestine.
There are stalls informing people of issues facing people in the Middle East, as well as peace organisations campaigning not just for peace in the region but against nuclear weapons and all war. Speakers bring messages of solidarity with the Palestinian people's struggle for peace and justice. This event comes at a time when the situation in Gaza is at crisis point with people, especially children, starving and dying due to lack of food, water and medicines, but first and foremost the actions of the Israeli occupation forces.
Speakers include:
* Baroness Jenny Tonge - Liberal Democrat * Musheir al Farrar - Palestinian Human Rights Activist * Khalidal Mudallal - Palestinian Student at Bradford University prevented from returning to his studies by Israel's blockade of Gaza * Linda Ramsden - UK Director of the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions (ICAHD) * Richard Kuper - Jews For Justice for Palestinians (JFJP) * Linda Clair - Manchester Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC)
During the event there is music, food, a march around the city centre, all in celebration of solidarity with the Palestinian people.
This clip shows Richard Kuper of Jews for Justice for Palestine speaking at the event.

brothers and sisters search on yutube : 'Is Israel Setup For Destruction?' American congressman speaks out on isreals dirty secrets. please don't forget to send it on to others
Palestinian freedom must come from the United States of America that support Israel for their atrocities. A couple of Jews support for Palestine will not change anything.
Great Speech, Richard! This needs to be followed up with a call for boycott, divestment and sanctions by civil society, since as you rightly point out, western governments give wholehearted support to Israel and refuse to call it to account.
Great speech and speaker, Richard Kuper - Jews for Justice for Palestinians (JFJP). People as such will eventually bring peace and justice to the palestinians and Israelis.
