This week, the Israeli government is sending 25 Israeli students to Birmingham University campus to spread pro-Israel propaganda. This initiative, called " Israel Awareness Week" is being deliberately timed during "Israeli Apartheid Week"*, to argue the case for Israel.
Between Tuesday and Thursday this week there will be a marquee on campus outside the main library promoting Israeli culture and portraying Israel as a peace-loving country.
The Israeli delegation will arrive on campus on Thursday and will be leafleting outside the library.

Birmingham University students ask you, please, to come to the campus this Thursday out on campus on Thursday to show solidarity with the people of Palestine in defiance of this Israeli initiative. We understand that the marquee is open from 1100-1600, 1100-1400 is peak time.
