Israeli apartheid week

I have to try to redeem myself here because I missed Israeli Apartheid Week in London. Well, I missed the beginning anyway. It's not good to post mid-event but thankfully David Hillman in a comment to a post on an IAW past has given me a jog over the events in Oxford starting today:
