This reader is developed for use by members of the Peace and Solidarity Mission of the Peace for Life delegation who will engage in an exposure-solidarity visit to Palestine and Israel and onto a strategy session in Jordan from November 4-14, 2007. The reader will reach delegation members in five segments. Each segment will contain distinct aspects of the problems and is sent in stages only to avoid delegates receiving a bulky document in one single stage. It will, of course, be necessary to co-relate all the information and analysis. Hopefully, all the information will assist members of the delegation to get a preview of a reality which is getting more and more complex by the day. It would also surely support the process of being able to probe the issues even further during the actual encounters with people in Israel and Palestine and thus generate thoughts and reflections that equip PFL to document, analyze and expose how the occupation of Palestine and the oppression of the Palestinian people relates to the broader Middle East conflict and the imperial and neo-colonial ambitions of the dominant North and its allies, including political, economic and military instruments of domination. The materials in this reader should also begin to provide pointers for practical ways of undertaking solidarity initiatives with the struggling people of Palestine and the Middle East; and contribute to the task of drawing up an action agenda for South-South solidarity that will integrate PfL efforts with WCC and other ecumenical initiatives.
