The bluffer’s guide to Israel and Palestine

 

Nigel Varndell first went to the Occupied Palestinian Territories ten years ago and has been going back every year since. He has talked with politicians, soldiers, gunmen, religious leaders, NGO workers and everyday people in Israel and the Palestinian territories.

It is in the newspapers, on TV and in the public consciousness, but how many of us understand what life is like in the Occupied Palestinian Territories? This introductory seminar will look at how the occupation started and what the consequences are for ordinary Palestinians.
