Over a decade since Quakers first called on the UK government to take this historic step, we once again urge our leaders to play their part in bringing the 58-year occupation to an end and recognise the state of Palestine with immediate effect.

Hi - Iβm a Brit so please excuse me if Iβm being overly cynical or ignorant - but would you feel the same way if all of JFKβs transgressions had been public during his tenure - and does a violent, brutal and shocking assassination afford more forgiveness for those transgressions?

My 9 year old is autistic - he canβt lie, heβs super kind, very smart, completely non judgemental, is loving, lives in the moment, heβs fun and makes me laugh every day. In what way is Trump acting like an autistic child?
