Saturday street stall: (notice from Seyda) Could people please contact me on my home number 01865 880344 mobile7983334322 or e-mail me seydacooke@virgin.net. Please let me know what you can do even if it means an hour slot, which is fine too. Volunteers needed 11.30 – 1.30. This is one of the main ways we raise the issue of Palestine with the public at large. It takes a couple of hours (plus a bit each side to collect and return the materials).

Israeli Apartheid Week
Israeli Apartheid Week (IAW) is an annual international series of events held
in cities and campuses across the globe. The aim of IAW is to educate people
about the nature of Israel as an apartheid system and to build Boycott,
Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) campaigns as part of a growing global BDS
movement.
This year, Oxford's own Israeli Apartheid Week, hosted by Arab Cultural
Society, will include fantastic events everyday, including talks by renowned
speakers. Keep listening out for more information.
Many people expressed interest in the Palestinian Hiphop artists documented in the film, and wanted to get hold of the music.
The artists that were featured were DAM, PR (Palestinian Rapperz), Abeer, Arapeyat and Mahmoud Shalabi.
Luckily, both the DVD and the soundtrack have now been released, and you can order them online here: http://www.slingshothiphop.com/merchandise/
Enjoy!
