    SYDNEY, Oct 4 (Reuters) -
    "Australian authorities said on Friday they would deploy more police personnel and tighten security measures ahead of pro-Palestine rallies in #Sydney and #Melbourne on Oct. 6, warning protesters there would be no tolerance of violence.

    "The Israel-Hamas conflict has triggered protests from both Jewish and #Palestinian groups across the world, including in Australia, as the government raised concerns that the protests could inflame community tensions and disrupt social harmony.

    "In Sydney, the #PalestineActionGroup has dropped its plans to hold a rally on Oct. 7, the first anniversary of Hamas staging the deadliest assault in Israel's history, which sparked Israel's war in Gaza.

    "The pro-Palestine group will instead proceed with its rally on Sunday after reaching an agreement with police to change the location and route, and not display flags, portraits or symbols of prohibited organisations. It plans to hold a vigil on Monday."

  5. From the "Where Olive Trees Weep" website:

    What can you do?

    "While we share the following ideas, we strongly recommend reaching out to connect with local groups and campaigns toward meaningful conversations and movement building.

    - Donate to support organizations supporting the population of the occupied territories, rebuilding #Gaza, working towards #HumanRights and bringing trauma healing work to the region. Please prioritize Palestinian grassroots organisations. See the “Humanitarian and Peace Organization” section below.

    - Call for Permanent #Ceasefire: Contact your elected officials, ask them to call for a permanent ceasefire and stop sending weapons to #Israel. Keep calling — while building community — by joining #PowerHours hosted by our friends at #JewishVoiceForPeace .

    - Join your local, intersectional #solidarity movement. Join street #protests, #strikes and creative actions. In the US, you can find protests at the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights (#USCPR), Jewish Voice for Peace, #IfNotNow, and others. Access tools for protesting from Gaza is Palestine.

    - #Divest from injustice. One of the key aspects of the international movement to help end #apartheid in South Africa was to apply economic pressure. Palestinians are calling for similar Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions [#BDS].

  6. Film: "Where Olive Trees Weep"

    Synopsis:
    "Where Olive Trees Weep offers a searing window into the struggles and resilience of the #Palestinian people under #Israeli occupation. It explores themes of loss, trauma, and the quest for justice.

    "We follow, among others, #Palestinian journalist and therapist #AshiraDarwish, grassroots activist #AhedTamimi, and Israeli journalist #AmiraHass. We also witness Dr. Gabor Maté offer trauma-healing work to a group of women who were tortured in Israeli prisons.

    "Ancient landscapes bear deep scars, having witnessed the brutal reality of ancestral land confiscation, expulsions, imprisonment, home demolitions, water deprivation, and denial of basic #HumanRights. Yet, through the veil of oppression, we catch a glimpse of resilience—deep roots that have carried the Palestinian people through decades of darkness and shattered lives.

    "This emotional journey bares the humanity of the oppressed while grappling with the question: what makes the oppressor so ruthlessly blind to its own cruelty?"

  7. “There is No Nice Way to Bulldoze a School”: #BaselAdra and #YuvalAbraham on #NoOtherLand

    by Nicolas Rapold
    in Directors, Festivals & Events, Interviews
    on Feb 27, 2024

    "Co-directed by an #IsraeliPalestinian collective of four, No Other Land was filmed in the #WestBank, in Masafer Yatta, where Israeli military and increasingly civilians have forced #Palestinians out from their villages. Premiered at the 74th Berlinale, the debut feature won both the juried documentary award and the Audience Award in its section, Panorama—amply deserved honors for its adroit, affecting and infuriating portrayal of a tight-knit Palestinian community resisting Israel’s relentless campaign of expulsion. Basel Adra and Yuval Abraham, two of the co-directors, are also extensively on screen. Adra, whose father was also an activist, offers the film’s primary eyes and ears, both through the offenses he hustles to record at mortal risk—he’s essentially a war photographer who lives inside the war—and through the archival video that conveys his memories of growing up there. Abraham, an Israeli journalist, befriends Adra in the course of reporting, and the two grow closer as he gets invested in the survival of Adra’s community, whose adults and children we see menaced, shot at and pushed into living in a cave as homes, a schoolhouse and other buildings are demolished.

    "The film’s excellence and the courage required to make it are worth underlining amid the fractious politics of this year’s Berlinale, which was lambasted for policing speech about the very issues addressed so cogently by a film the festival programmed and honored. (The latest news at press time was a bizarre clarification from the German Ministry of Culture that the Culture Minister’s applause at the prize ceremony was intended only for the Israeli member of the No Other Land filmmaking team, i.e., Abraham, and not Adra. Abraham reported death threats after making his acceptance speech, whose words echoed his answers here.) But when I interviewed Adra and Abraham in a lounge tucked away in the Palast, it was barely midway through the festival, and they were only two screenings into a festival edition that would be defined by the strength of its nonfiction selection—perhaps none quite so urgent and on point as No Other Land."
