[Palsem09] Update / Mise a jour

[Charlotte van Baaren]

Dear Tony,
With your knowledge on the subject, it should be clear that you take my place, I think.
If there is still need to tell more about union solidarity with the Palestinians, fine with me. 
I suggest that Leon or Bertil do a new proposal for the programme on sunday either with Tony or with the both of us. 
If it sticks to me, the official subject has to be altered. But I must say I love to hear from Tony's knowledge myself, no problem with me if we have to change places.
Lot

  Dear all
  With regard the trade unions in Palestine, I have great knowledge, and feel as internationalists that it would be a catastrophe if we excluded this from subjects.
  After all this is one of the major developments, within the West Bank
