For those who are looking for a deeper context and to gain more clarity about the current nightmare in Israel and Palestine, we are privileged to host Dr Peter Shambrook, who has recently published a major work on the background of Britain’s involvement in the conflict in his new book Policy and Deceit. Britain and Palestine, 1914 – 1939.
‘The most comprehensive and incisive exposure of the origins of the British betrayal of Palestine.’ – Ilan Pappe (Israeli historian and political scientist)
Our January National Outreach Meeting is in partnership with The Balfour Project. Mike Kane, MP for Wythenshawe and Sale East and IofC UK Trustee, will host the event, joined by Dr Peter Shambrook and Sir Vincent Fean and Mike Scott-Baumann, trustees of the Balfour Project.
Dr Peter Shambrook is an independent scholar and historical consultant to the Balfour Project, which works to advance equal rights for all in Palestine/Israel. He holds a PhD in modern Middle Eastern history from the University of Cambridge. Throughout his career, he has held several research positions, including at Durham University and the Centre for Lebanese Studies in Oxford. He worked full-time with MRA (now known as IofC) from 1969 to 1987 before he became a school teacher.
His book, Policy and Deceit. Britain and Palestine, 1914 – 1939, is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the Israel-Palestine conflict, revealing a hidden chapter of British deceit and shedding light on the ongoing tensions in the region.
