Jewish peace activist speaks truth to UK Government Department for International Development: “It is outrageous that the Palestinians, who have been the victims of oppression, occupation, ethnic cleansing, war crimes, constant human rights violations and abuses, should be the ones from whom Britain withdraws aid for whatever reason. All the more so because Britain, as author of the Balfour Declaration, bears the initial responsibility for the plight of the Palestinian people – and has done so for 100 years! No matter what “urgent humanitarian needs” arise, whether or not “driven by conflict elsewhere in the region, notably Yemen”, the Palestinians should NOT be made to pay the price.” – Elizabeth Morley, Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Wales.

NBA caves in to Israel and drops 'occupied Palestine' tag. 30 December 2017 | The NBA [National Basketball Association] on Friday removed a reference to “Palestine – occupied territory” from its website and apologised after a complaint from Israel's Sports Minister. The name appeared in an online poll in which fans are asked to choose the best players for an annual “All Star Game”. Israel's Sports and Culture Minister, Miri Regev, accused the NBA of “gross and blatant interference” and of “legitimising the division of the State of Israel”. She said the body's position contrasted with that of the US Administration and President Donald Trump, who this month recognised Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. “I would like to express my disapproval and am asking you to immediately remove the 'Palestine – occupied territory' from the list of states”, Regev said. The NBA changed the name to “Palestinian Territories” and apologised for what it called an “errant listing”. “We do not produce the country listings for NBA.com and as soon as we became aware of it, the site was updated”, NBA spokesman, Mike Bass, told AFP. The United Nations refers to the West Bank and Gaza Strip, territories Israel captured during the 1967 Six-Day War, as “the occupied Palestinian territory”.
