Yesterday’s Palestinian support demonstration in London drew out about 200,000 supporters. Not including us, as we were in Thames Ditton, warm and dry and happily sharing a meal. With like minded people, though. Jenny and her cousin Elaine are part Palestinian, with a Palestinian Christian grandmother and family who was forced to leave what was then Palestine as the state of Israel was established. We knew and admired Jenny’s father and visited him a number of times during his retirement in Cyprus. He taught me to make Maqlouba.
