  6. Film Screening: #NoOtherLand

    Friday, September 13, 2024
    7:30 PM to 9:30 PM

    #CamdenInternationalFilmFestival
    #CamdenMaine

    Following the screening, we'll have a panel discussion about solidarity, narrative #sovereignty and the politics of appeal with writer/poet Mohammed el Kurd, Suhad Babaa (Executive Director of JustVision) and two American film producers, Jess Devaney and Tracy Rector.

    “For as long as he can remember, #BaselAdra has been capturing his community’s slow eradication and displacement from Masafer Yatta in the #WestBank, #Palestine. His camera, always by his side on the frontlines, documents the escalating and evolving forms of aggression over time. The lens captures events, moments in between, and the longitudinal nature of this struggle. It falls to the ground, remains active, and is picked up by an offscreen body—Basel’s—as he runs, the image persists. The lens demands that we impassively bear witness. #YuvalAbraham, an Israeli activist and journalist, unwaveringly supports Basel and the community, yet the limitations of their relationship, given their disproportionately unequal lived experiences, begin to reveal themselves."

    #Bangor Stand-Out

    Wednesday, September 11, 2024
    12:00 PM - 2:00 PM

    Penobscot County Democratic Party
    207 Exchange Street
    Bangor, ME, 04401
    United States

    "We normally hold a vigil/standout every Wednesday from noon-12:30 PM at the corner of Harlow and Central Streets (across from where the old and eventually renovated Bangor City Hall stands and near Peirce Park) to support a ceasefire, an end to the killing in Gaza and of all Palestinians, and a stop to all US weapons shipments to the Israeli government. The vigil/standout will take place as usual on September 4 and again September 18, 25, etc. JOIN US!

    "However, on September 11, 2024, 12 noon-12:30 PM (maybe later), we will stand outside the headquarters of the Penobscot County Democratic Party at 207 Exchange Street (about 1 1/2 blocks from our usual location) and hope to have a conversation with #MaineDemocrats in or coming to the office about the current policy of failure to achieve a ceasefire and the continued US government support for the Israeli military and settler attacks against Palestinians, especially in Gaza but also on the West Bank. (Anyone who wishes to stand in our usual location of Harlow and Center Streets is welcome to do so.) Bring signs, or we will have some available also. We hope some media will also be present."

  21. #Protesters gather outside #Brunswick air show, voicing ethical concerns over headlining act

    Advocates with #MaineVoicesForPalestinianRights said the air show glamorizes #war and misleads youth.

    BRUNSWICK, #Maine — "The Great State of #MaineAirShow is marketed as a weekend-long event of planes swooping through the sky with incredible aerial performances to leave the community in awe.

    "However, groups standing outside the show on Saturday had a different message to send about its intentions.

    "The Maine Voices for #Palestinian Rights organized a protest to encourage people not to attend the show over questions regarding the #ethics of its headlining act: the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds.

    "'We object this use of our tax dollars and we object to warplanes as entertainment,' #LisaSavage with Maine Voices for Palestinian Rights said.

    "The group compared the planes on display to those being flown over #Gaza, for very different purposes.

    "'If you were a child in Gaza, you would be hearing that noise constantly and it wouldn't be for entertainment, you would be waiting to see if a bomb was going to drop on your family's home,' Savage said.

    "The group objects to the U.S. government's involvement in the war in #Israel and says the air show glamorizes the U.S. military and its power.

    [...]

    "[Marketing Director] Mary Breen said she's amazed by the positive effect the show has, specifically on younger crowds.

    "'It's amazing to see the kids' reactions, whether they're checking out the planes on the ground or watching the planes flying,' Breen said.

    "Yet, that inspiration is another point advocates said makes the show deceptive.

    "'It's actively designed to be fun, almost video game-esque for these kids and make them think this is something that would be an exciting career for them instead of something that's potentially very dangerous for them and is guaranteed to be very dangerous for people across the world,' #RosemaryCorkins with Maine Voices for Palestinian Rights said.

    BRUNSWICK, #Maine — "The Great State of #MaineAirShow is marketed as a weekend-long event of planes swooping through the sky with incredible aerial performances to leave the community in awe.

    "However, groups standing outside the show on Saturday had a different message to send about its intentions.

    "The Maine Voices for #Palestinian Rights organized a protest to encourage people not to attend the show over questions regarding the #ethics of its headlining act: the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds.

    "'We object this use of our tax dollars and we object to warplanes as entertainment,' #LisaSavage with Maine Voices for Palestinian Rights said.

    "The group compared the planes on display to those being flown over #Gaza, for very different purposes.

    "'If you were a child in Gaza, you would be hearing that noise constantly and it wouldn't be for entertainment, you would be waiting to see if a bomb was going to drop on your family's home,' Savage said.

    "The group objects to the U.S. government's involvement in the war in #Israel and says the air show glamorizes the U.S. military and its power.

    [...]

    "[Marketing Director] Mary Breen said she's amazed by the positive effect the show has, specifically on younger crowds.

    "'It's amazing to see the kids' reactions, whether they're checking out the planes on the ground or watching the planes flying,' Breen said.

    "Yet, that inspiration is another point advocates said makes the show deceptive.

    "'It's actively designed to be fun, almost video game-esque for these kids and make them think this is something that would be an exciting career for them instead of something that's potentially very dangerous for them and is guaranteed to be very dangerous for people across the world,' #RosemaryCorkins with Maine Voices for Palestinian Rights said.
