TRADING IN OPPRESSION – how the UK’s economic ties with Israel support the occupation of Palestine

Tuesday, 10. February 2026 - 19:30 to 20:30
St Michael’s Church, Market Place Macclesfield.

Come and join Macclesfield Quakers for this interesting talk.  10th February 7.30pm, St Michael’s Church, Market Place Macclesfield. Speaker Tim Brierley, Global Justice Now.

 

Israel’s atrocities against Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank continue but with much less public scrutiny. As our media and politicians turn away, how can we keep the pressure on and translate the huge movement for Palestine into real change?

The UK is a key trade partner for Israel. Many UK-headquartered companies invest in firms involved in Israel’s illegal settlements, our government continues to license arms sales and has even started importing surveillance technologies used to control and oppress Palestinians.

Join us to discuss why the UK continues to assist Israel’s illegal occupation and how can we force a change.
