Peace with justice, security and equal rights for Israelis and Palestinians

Posted: 16th June 2025

We are pleased to share updates on our latest programming at the British Palestine Project (BPP). As part of our ongoing efforts to engage our community on issues of peace, justice, and human rights, we have two new offerings for you: a new webinar in our regular series and the fourth episodeof our International Law in Crisis? podcast series. Each provides timely insights into critical topics. We invite you to read on for details and encourage you to engage with both of these resources.

Webinar: How Israeli society became radicalised? 

Professor Menachem Klein speaks in BPP’s latest webinar, examining the forces behind the radicalisation of Israeli society.

Professor Menachem Klein, a veteran Israeli peace negotiator and signatory of the Geneva Agreement, joins our webinar series to explore how Israeli society became radicalised and why many ordinary Israelis came to support the Gaza war crimes. Drawing on decades of experience, Klein identifies key structural changes within Israel – from the entrenchment of an apartheid-like regime to shifts in the political elite and internal social unrest – that have fuelled this radicalisation. He also highlights how leaders on both sides have misjudged each other’s strengths and motivations and emphasizes the need for a two-state solution founded on equality, partnership, open borders, and shared sovereignty as the path forward. This webinar is part of BPP’s ongoing series and is now available to watch on our website, YouTube or listen to as a podcast.

Podcast: International Law in Crisis? – “Decolonisation and Going Viral”

Episode 4 of our International Law in Crisis? podcast series, “Decolonisation and Going Viral,” features guest Alfonso Gurmendi (LSE Fellow of Human Rights).

In this fourth episode of BPP’s podcast series International Law in Crisis?, we welcome Alfonso Gurmendi – an international law scholar and LSE Fellow in Human Rights – to discuss decolonisation and his experience with “going viral” in today’s digital age. This conversation delves into how the legacies of colonialism continue to shape our world and the crises facing international law. Gurmendi argues that “colonialism and genocide are how our world was built”, highlighting the profound historical injustices underlying modern international systems. He also reflects on the power of social media in spreading awareness of these issues and what it means for activism and legal accountability. Listen here on Substack.
