I have just visited An-Najah as part of a solidarity delegation from British trade unions. The new campus is beautiful, the students and staff were fantastic and I was deeply impressed by the quality of the work being produced under the terrible conditions of the occupation. I have lots of photos if you'd like some for your site, including some of the artwork on display in the Faculty of Fine Arts. Please don't believe the Zionist claptrap about Nablus being unsafe to visit (except when the IDF invades it and trashes homes and shops - I have photos of that as well) or a hotbed of terrorism. Go and visit it for yourself - it is a beautiful city and you will love it. in solidarity, Dr. Sue Blackwell National Executive Committee, UCU Hi all, I’ve just discovered this site and am putting in a link to it from http://www.sue.be/pal.

It showed what average people, students in fact, can accomplish, when they put their minds to it. It is just too bad that students and other young people cannot get together more often, to make change. While keeping the university connected with an-Najjah University is important, Palestine is still occupied, thousands of Palestinians are still imprisoned, and Palestinian human rights are still being denied. These issues should remain in all of our minds, and should be the motive to come together again, as a powerful force to make change. We have a lot of work to do, so lets not get too happy. One justice fought for, and many more to go. This was a beautiful day indeed. It showed what average people, students in fact, can accomplish, when they put their minds to it.

It does go to show that using scare tactics and using the "T" word just like tht doesnt scare the general student population (who, lets not forget are intellectuals) into not thinking and just blindly voting with slanderous lies and accusations with no foundations!! Well dont to the students of Manchester university for seeing through the lies and accusations of motion 1!!
