In 2008 two ordinary people were invited to Jordan – and decided to visit Israel/Palestine as well. Their trip had anything but ordinary consequences.
Knowing very little about the history and politics of Israel and Palestine, Monica and Roger found themselves face to face with the realities of the legacy of Britain’s colonial rule.
This book charts their journey of discovery on five visits to Israel and Palestine and tells the stories of the people they met along the way and the mission they embarked on when they returned home. It describes how they developed the Balfour Project to enlighten the British people about the impact of our colonial duplicity in the Middle East, and to ask if there is any solution to this entrenched injustice. Is there anything Britain can do now to make amends for its legacy of deceit? An effective solution has never been more urgent.
Why didn’t I know? Britain’s Legacy in Palestine is an eye opening, moving and personal story that encourages the reader to believe that they too can find a meaningful purpose which gives hope in a world so short of hope.
