       Daniel Taub, Israel's ambassador to the UK, has been invited to speak at the Oxford Union on Tuesday.

      We, as residents and students of Oxford, believe that a talk by Taub - the representative of a regime responsible for the deaths of over 2,200 Palestinians, including 490 children in Gaza this summer - provides a platform for the whitewashing of Israeli war crimes and brutality. Tuesday 28th at 7.30.

      Please join us outside the Oxford Union to show that he is not welcome

      Helpers needed for our PSC stall at the One World Fair, Oxford Town Hall, Saturday 22 November. If you can offer an hour or two between 10 am and 4pm  it would be much appreciated. We aim to have two people on the stall at any one time. We also need helpers to transport materials to and from the event (particularly around 4.00 to help us pack up and transport leftover materials). It is always a very enjoyable event. Please reply to this mailing with any help you can offer and an indication of what time you would prefer to cover the stall. Many thanks!

   Every Saturday 11.30-1.30pm: OXFORD PSC STALL in Cornmarket by St Michael at Northgate church. The OPSC Saturday street stall on Cornmarket Street is one of the main ways we use for raising the issue of Palestine with the public at large. It is an important activity

Always a minimum of two people on shift. Please consider volunteering for a shift: it’s an opportunity to meet other PSC members, those wanting information and occasionally those wishing to challenge our views, even volunteering for one shift a year would help.
