Dear Friends and Allies in Common Cause,

The competition is now closed because of the need to meet catalog deadlines, so I must and do thank those who made suggestions. They included some very good pictures with profound messages, but on reflection my publisher and I concluded that none were quite appropriate for the sub-title – A Conflict Without End?.

I hope that those who made suggestions, and those who didn’t, will remain engaged with my work for justice and peace, not least because the time is coming when it will be clear to all that President Obama can’t deliver.

Best wishes to all,

Alan

@David,

I have fond memories of the Haddington Balfour Conference, not least because it was there that I met one of the most remarkable men of our time, Ilan Pappe.

(We spent hours exchanging views during the conference and we’ve become very dear friends as well as allies in common cause – it being to tell the truth of history. Ilan once said that if I was Jewish, I would probably share the top spot on Zionism’s “S.H.I.T.” list with him!)

Thanks for your suggestions. Just one little problem… the address you gave for the images is apparently not valid. Will you, please, check it out and post back the correct address?

Regards,

Alan

Hello Alan – I met you at the Haddington Balfour Conference where I was one of the organisers (treasurer SFOP) and later at a Glasgow meeting – you kindly signed your Vol 1 for me! – have a look at these 2 images, one of which might be suitable – available from me, no charge of course!!

@Nabz

The video as a whole should be required viewing in every American (and other Western) home. I would like to share with all my heart the optimism of the song’s title, but reality on the ground, in Israel/Palestine and America and Europe, takes me back to my post Unity or Annihilation – The Real Choice for the Palestinians.

Your suggestion is an excellent one. I will pass it to my publisher for consideration. Many thanks and my best wishes to you and your family and all Muslims for Ramadan.

For the third cover of your book on Zionism I suggest you use a cartoon clip from Maher Zain’s awesome new video – Palestine will be free: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foSbqLi6U10

In particular, you should use the scene when the little girl holds up her hand with a stone in it and stands firm before an israeli tank with its guns pointing at her. Its a good scene.

If you want to use this let me know, as I know the makers of this video and those who manage Maher Zain.
