These are the links to Twinning groups websites.

Well done Manchester University Students Union - after a concerted effort by Zionists to undo the Twinning with Beir Zeit University, the racist motion submitted was defeated by an even bigger margin at one of the best attended meetings of the Union - www.actionpalestine.org

Have you filled in the questionnaire? If your group has not already done so, or is new and wishes to join the Twinning network, please download it here, and return it us as soon as possible (we need it for the next Conference).

Despite pressure from Zionist organisations to label groups supporting twinning with Palestine as racist or suggesting that motions made Jewish Societies "feel victimised", many Universities are now twinned with Palestinian educational institutions.

"The second motion called for support for the Portsmouth-Palestine Twinning initiative. This motion passed almost unanimously and gave campaigning students a clear mandate to push ahead to twin Portsmouth with Ar Ram college. Ar Ram is a town on the road between Jerusalem and Ramallah. This road is of vital strategic importance to the Israelis as it connects the capital to the largest town in the West Bank. In fact Ar Ram was the first town to be occupied when the Israeli army invaded the West Bank in 1967 and so epitomises the forty-year occupation."
