Survivors of Al Nakba along with Palestinian and Jewish activists\, share their experiences and insights of living under Israeli apartheid. \nThree 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. \nThis documentary was filmed and edited by Australian filmmakers\, John Reynolds and Jill Hickson.\nDare 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”.”

SUMMARY:Protest against Deborah Conway! Boycott artists who support genocide
DESCRIPTION:Merri-bek and Northern Suburbs for Palestine has called a protest against Deborah Conway performing at the Brunswick Ballroom on Friday November 7. \nGather at 6:30pm out front of Brunswick Ballroom at 314 Sydney road\, Brunswick and make our voices heard. \nDeborah Conway is a self-proclaimed Zionist who has been outspoken about her support for Israel’s military actions in Gaza which amounts to genocide. \nWhen she was interviewed on ABC Radio in 2024\, responding to a question about the disproportionate number of children who have been killed in Gaza. \nConway responded by stating \n“It depends on what you call kids” \nAdditionally\, she has been linked to Zionist campaigns of harassment targeting pro-Palestinian writers and publications. \nWe believe those who openly support Apartheid Israel and genocide should be boycotted and shunned. \nWe condemn the Brunswick Ballroom for giving her a platform to perform. \nNo place for genocide supporters in Merri-bek. \nIn the lead-up to the protest email info@brunswickballroom.com.au or call 03 9387 1347 and demand that Deborah Conway’s gig be cancelled.

SUMMARY:Palestine Solidarity Sukkot
DESCRIPTION:October 6-13 is the Jewish festival of Sukkot. During Sukkot\, Jewish people are reminded that our ancestors once wandered as freed slaves and refugees\, living in temporary shelters. We mark this by building sukkahs: roofless\, four-sided structures. To show that we have learned from the travails of the past\, Jewish tradition calls us to open our sukkahs to strangers in celebration of shelter\, food\, and connection. \nWe cannot celebrate while Israel inflicts genocide and famine on the people of Palestine. The only way to remain true to the tradition of Sukkot is to stand in solidarity with Palestinian\, First Peoples and allied communities in so-called Australia. This year\, our sukkah will be a space of resistance\, inter-community connection\, and commitment to never again for all peoples. \nWe are hosting a grassroots Palestine Solidarity Sukkot fundraiser on October 12 in an outdoor CBD location after the regular Sunday protest. \nPlease join us to: \n1. Fundraise for PARA (Palestine Australia Relief Action) and ActionAid’s Gaza Appeal. \n2. Engage in meaningful inter-community building based on a commitment to justice. \n3. Continue calling on the Australian government to take meaningful action—including sanctions—against the Israeli government. \n4. Experience Jewish tradition outside of the political ideology of Zionism. \nNote: this is a grassroots event\, organised by members of the Jewish community in Naarm who stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people as they struggle against Israeli apartheid\, occupation and genocide. \nYou can contact us on Instagram: @palestinesolidaritysukkot

SUMMARY:Working bee: creating 280 Press Vests at Garage 35 Art Studio
DESCRIPTION:The values helping guide our art making process: truth-telling\, reverence\, creativity\, care and impact. This action welcomes everyone – from organisers to those who are looking for their first opportunity to take action. Arts activism is just one of many ways we can and should act. \nWHAT: we are making one Press vest for every journalist killed in Palestine. They are life-size and can be individually held. The back of each vest has one martyr’s name and photo. \nWHERE: vests are being made and stored at Garage 35 Art Studio – a non-profit cooperative in Noble Park on Boonwurrung Bunurong Country. \nWHY: this project is inspired by Paper Kites for Palestine and the Will of Palestinian Journalist\, Anas al-Sharif\, who was martyred by an Israeli airstrike in August 2025:\n“I entrust you with (Palestine’s) people\, with its wronged and innocent children who never had the time to dream or live in safety and peace…I urge you not to let chains silence you\, nor borders restrain you.” . Data including names and photos are being sourced from: shireen.ps/press \nWHO: the vests are being made by the community in Melbourne’s south-east. Open sessions are being promoted by Free Palestine Dandenong for anyone to help create the vests. This project has an emphasis on bringing in new people to the movement (i.e. artists\, folks in the south-east\, Journalism students / arts students etc.) through arts making. \nHOW: Art making sessions are being facilitated by an Arts Therapist\, Gen Townsend (she/her)\, to offer space for community to grieve\, act\, learn and share. There is a Whatsapp channel in the Free Palestine Dandenong community to discuss ideas and coordinate how the vests can have impact through public display and activation. This is an open group that anyone can join to collaboratively make decisions. \nJOIN PROJECT WHATSAPP: https://chat.whatsapp.com/HCcY9hIK2nl84iR8zxTdLe?mode=ems_copy_t
