Lobbying of Political Representatives - FoBZU helped to organise a lobby of Parliament on the issue of academic freedom when the Palestinian universities were closed by Israeli military order. FoBZU regularly encourages its members to write
expressing concern, to British and Israeli government representatives. FoBZU sends a complimentary copy of its newsletter to over 100 British MPs.
Work with trade and students unions - In November 1995, a delegation of three educational trades unionists and two members of the British Parliament visited Palestine with FoBZU. They visited Palestinian Ministers, human rights organisations
, and academics in Gaza, Ramallah, and Jerusalem.
