In this episode, Denis Nowlan, Executive Director of Initiatives of Change UK, hosts a conversation with Monica Spooner, co-founder of the Balfour Project, and Andrew Whitley, its Chair. This episode offers a unique insight into how a bold individual initiative - Monica Spooner’s journey of discovery about Britain’s legacy in Palestine - sparked the creation of the Balfour Project, an initiative with national and international impact.

As we mark the publication of Monica’s book, Why Didn’t I Know? Britain’s Legacy in Palestine, Monica reflects on the revelations that led her to advocate for change in public opinion and policy on Israel and Palestine. Andrew Whitley elaborates on the ongoing work of the Project, emphasising its relevance amid today’s catastrophic conflicts. Sir Vincent Fean also joins the conversation, shedding light on the Balfour Project’s engagement with parliamentarians to drive meaningful change.

Join us for this insightful discussion about history, advocacy, and the path toward justice and reconciliation.
