The Reading Group is open to everyone who wants to discuss solidarity with Palestine, and is hopefully in a big enough room to fit everyone. To give everybody the chance to say something, we will break up into small groups.

We intend to organise further sessions of the Reading Group on other Palestine-related topics on a weekly basis.
