On Saturday the 15th of November, we will be coming together in solidarity with the people of Palestine, as they stand against Genocide, Ethnic Cleansing, and Occupation by the Israeli Apartheid Regime.

This year our community has mobilised in Central Queensland at multiple events, culminating at our Rally in Rockhampton on the 12th of October.

As we approach the end of the year, we’ll be holding our final documentary screening and planning session of the year, ahead of our next proposed rally on Sunday the 7th of December.

We’ll be screening “Palestine Under Siege”, by the same team (Dare to Struggle Films) who made our previously screened “Palestinians Don’t Need Sidewalks”. We have access to the film thanks to The Australia Palestine Advocacy Network (APAN).

Synopsis:

“Palestine Under Siege takes you into the heart of the struggle for Palestinian self-determination. Survivors of Al Nakba along with Palestinian and Jewish activists, share their experiences and insights of living under Israeli apartheid.

Three Australians, Dr Peter Slezak, APAN’s Rand Darwish and Lee Rhiannon travelled to Palestine to conduct interviews and investigate Israel’s accelerating colonisation of Palestinian land.

This documentary was filmed and edited by Australian filmmakers, John Reynolds and Jill Hickson.
Dare to Struggle Film projects partnered with Wattan TV; a secular Palestinian television service operating in the West Bank and the Hebron Human Rights Defenders to produce this film. The project was also supported by “Defence for Children International – Palestine”.”
