Naomi Wayne, a founding member of Jews for Justice for Palestinians, will talk about her recent journey to Israel / Palestine. She visited the Wall, a refugee camp, the Palestinian TUC and medical facilities in Israel and the West Bank. During her visit Naomi met Israelis and Palestinians of all political persuasions including:

• Director of Rabbis for Human Rights
• Israeli doctor who entered Jenin as part of the invading Israeli Forces
• Palestinian trade unionists
• Israeli medics providing voluntary health support to Palestinian citizens of Israel
• Bereaved Palestinian and Israeli parents who have united to campaign for peace

Naomi spent ten years in Ireland, working for the Irish Transport and General Workers Union (now SIPTU) and the Equal Opportunities Commission for Northern Ireland. She has written two books - 'Labour Law in Ireland' and 'Northern Ireland: the Political Economy of Conflict'. While living in Dublin she was one of a group of women trade union activists who set up Trade Union Women's Forum. She was also involved in the foundation of the Irish Council for Civil Liberties.

Jews for Justice for Palestinians (JfJfP) is an 850 strong network of Jews in Britain who campaign against Israel's illegal occupation and intervention within Gaza, the West Bank and Golan; produce information about Israeli / Palestinian relations; and provide charitable support for cross community initiatives.
