NPC&PC honours the life of Tony Benn and his passing

Update
Tony Benn’s funeral March 27th at St Margaret’s Church Westminster
Tony Benn President of the Stop the War Coalition has died at home
A remarkable man who achieved wonderful things and was loved by many
the following is a statement from NSTWC
Tony Benn will be profoundly missed from the platform of Stop the War
Rallies and at the head of protest marches against misguided government
decisions, most notably the attacks on Afghanistan, the war on Iraq and
the sabre rattling towards Iran.
Benn was also an outspoken opponent of many of the government’s policies
(whether Conservative, Liberal or New Labour) on the privatisation of
public sector services affecting transport, health and education.
Perhaps the greatest tribute we can pay him is to continue his work as
campaigner for peace and social justice.
Tony Benn came to Norwich in March 2007 and spoke to a packed St Andrews
Hall. His main thrust was the build-up of anti Iranian sentiment and he
reminded the audience of the false claims of WMD that were used as a
pretext to attack Iraq, which led to the loss of hundreds of thousands of
lives and that 80 percent of Iraqi people wanted the troops out. He
concluded to rousing applause saying that the anti war movement would
succeed but that the struggle would be long and difficult. He will be
sorely missed.

An Israeli perspective on the Israel/Palestine Conflict
Posted on | March 2, 2014 | No Comments
The School of Political, Social and International Studies is hosting an informal discussion with Dr. Anat Matar, a senior lecturer in philosophy at Tel Aviv University. Dr Matar works on the philosophy of the 20th century, with a special research interest in early analytic philosophy and post-structuralist philosophy. The focus of this discussion will be to give some insight into the Palestine/Israel conflict, from the perspective of an Israeli academic who has opposed Israeli policy for many years.
Anat has been active in Israeli human rights and civil society, e.g. in the refusal movement. She is Chair of the Israeli Action Committee for the Palestinian Prisoners. She co-edited a collection of essays written by prisoners, ex-prisoners, political activists and academics from across the political spectrum in a book published by Pluto Press in 2011: Threat: Palestinian Political Prisoners in Israel.
