SUMMARY:Fundraiser Film Screening "Palestinians Don't Need Sidewalks"
DESCRIPTION:Knox for Palestine and Yarra Ranges Palestine Action invite you to a screening of “Palestinians Don’t Need Sidewalks\,” a film by Dare to Struggle Films. \nJoin us for the screening\, followed by a Q&A with Amin (Olive Kids) and Sivan (Loud Jew Collective) \nPlease pay as much as you can afford $10/$20/$30. Tea and coffee will be provided. \nThe film takes us on a journey through the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem that\, through Palestinian eyes\, profiles life living under Israeli occupation. Much of the film follows a Jewish University professor\, an ex-politician and a Palestinian Australian student activist who were investigating Israel’s settler colonial apartheid society. Through visiting Palestinian homes in East Jerusalem\, Silwan and Nabi Samwil the film gives an account of life under Israeli occupation prior to Hamas’s jail breakout. \nIn 2024\, Dare to Struggle Films partnered with the Hebron Human Rights Defenders who throughout the year gathered footage of Palestinian life and of Israeli aggression against Palestinians. They also conducted interviews as a reflection of life for Palestinians after October 7th. \nThe film also looks at Australia’s complicity with Israel\, particularly through Australia’s commitment to reinvigorating its manufacturing base by integrating into the US military supply chain. It also touches on mainstream media and how the Zionist lobby has managed to control the information that is presented via these channels. This film goes beyond how mainstream media portrays Israel. \nProceeds go to Olive Kids – an Australian Foundation dedicated to support the children of Palestine. \nWatch the trailer here.

SUMMARY:Candlelight Vigil\, Adelaide/Tarntanya
DESCRIPTION:Mark 77 years of the Nakba that never ended \nEvery year on May 15\, Palestinians around the world mark the Nakba\, or catastrophe\, referring to the ethnic cleansing of Palestine in 1948 \nThe Nakba (“catastrophe” in Arabic) refers to the violent expulsion of approximately three quarters of all Palestinians from their homes and homeland by Zionist militias and the new Israeli army during the state of Israel’s establishment (1947-49). \nThe Nakba was a deliberate and systematic act intended to establish a Jewish-majority state in Palestine. Amongst themselves\, Zionist leaders used the euphemism “transfer” when discussing plans for what today would be called ethnic cleansing. (From Institute for Middle East Understanding) \nGather at Parliament House steps. \nBring electronic candles (not wax candles)\, your keffiyehs\, flags and posters. Charge up your phone and use the torch. \nElectronic candles will be available.

SUMMARY:Tatreez Workshop with Samarkand

Join us for an immersive session where you can enhance your skills in Palestinian embroidery\, discover new techniques\, and connect with fellow craft enthusiasts! This workshop is designed for everyone—whether you attended a previous session\, are an experienced Tatreez lover\, or are completely new to the craft. \nTatreez\, Palestinian embroidery\, is a powerful symbol of resilience and cultural identity\, with designs that represent the diverse regions\, traditions\, and stories of Palestine. In this workshop\, you will hear from Samar Abedrabo\, the founder of SAMARKAND\, who will share her knowledge about the cultural importance behind the unique Tatreez designs.

From choosing the right threads and fabrics to understanding the various needle types\, you’ll gain a solid foundation in embroidery techniques. By the end of the workshop\, you’ll leave with a completed piece of your own embroidery and a newfound appreciation for this cultural art form.

SUMMARY:Rally For Palestine - Protest Daniel Mulino
DESCRIPTION:Our current Labor MP for Fraser\, Daniel Mulino has failed to represent the people’s demands for peace and justice by putting military profits over humanitarian efforts and providing vital funds towards arming a genocide\, that could be better spent on local community needs. The Labor Government have proven themselves unfit to govern\, and we are here to hold them to account. \nThis is an opportunity to provide local people who care about human rights and justice with a localised platform to express to our political leaders in the upcoming Federal election their concerns about the Labor government’s failure to respond in accordance with International law and the values of human rights and justice\, in solidarity with Palestine \nThis event is organised by Maribyrnong for Palestine\, Brimbank for Palestine and Hobson’s Bay for Palestine.

SUMMARY:Communities United Against Racism
DESCRIPTION:April 6\, 2pm\nPaul Keating Park\, Bankstown\, Sydney \nRacism against Muslims\, Arabs and Palestinians is being stoked by our elected leaders and elite institutions. Muslims have been violently assaulted in Bankstown and in Melbourne. Muslim school buses have been torched and staff at mosques have been harassed. Palestine advocates have had bombs placed on their cars and have been assaulted.\nThe Islamophobia Register has recorded over 1\,111 cases of anti-Muslim racism since Israel’s genocide on Palestine began in October 2023. The rate is seven times higher than prior to the genocide. \nThese racist attacks are being fuelled by the anti-Muslim and anti-Palestinian policies of mainstream politicians. Israel has murdered at least 70\,000 Palestinians\, with some estimates at over 300\,000. Israeli PM Netanyahu and former defence minister Gallant are facing arrest warrants for war crimes. In response\, the Albanese Labor government reiterates Israel’s right to self-defence and demonises the Palestinian resistance. Albanese refused to condemn Trump’s ethnic cleansing plan and has not issued any sanctions on Israeli leaders or ended weapons trade.\nAll of this normalises the killing of Palestinians. It also dehumanises Muslims\, Arabs and Palestinians here in this country. Meanwhile\, people who have spoken out about the Israeli genocide have faced silencing\, censorship\, discipline\, loss of jobs and funding. The list includes Antoinette Lattouf\, Sara Saleh\, Randa-Abdel Fattah\, Peter Lalor and Khaled Sabsabi. Teachers and school staff such as Wasim El-Haj and Sheikh Wesam Charkawi have also faced repression. But we are fighting back in schools and through our unions. Sheikh Wesam was reinstated after strong community protests. \nAlbanese has falsely blamed the Palestine movement for the series of antisemitic attacks over the summer\, even though the security agencies confirmed it has nothing to do with the Palestine solidarity movement. The Palestine movement has been demonised by Albanese\, Peter Dutton and other Zionists. Albanese singled out the slogan “from the river to the sea\, Palestine will be free”\, claiming that the words are ‘extremely violent’. These smears tap into the racist legacy of the War on Terror\, associating Muslims with terrorism\, which has fuelled Islamophobia for over twenty years. \nMeanwhile\, both Albanese and Dutton have downplayed\, or even dismissed completely\, anti-Muslim attacks. They have been slow to condemn them\, if at all.\nOn top of this\, the Albanese government and the NSW Labor government are implementing new ‘hate speech’ laws that aim to severely restrict our right to protest the Israeli genocide. The NSW laws will ban protests near religious institutions\, with up to two years jail time as penalty. \nAll of this has contributed to an atmosphere where racists feel emboldened to attack. We need to stand united against the racism of the government\, media and institutions which are fuelling the racist attacks. Teachers for Palestine and a broad coalition of community groups invite you to join us to stand against racism. Enough is enough.\nRally initiated by Teachers and School Staff for Palestine. \nEndorsements:\nPalestine Justice Movement\nMuslim Women Association\nMuslim Votes Matter\nNSW Greens\nThe Muslim Vote\nJews Against the Occupation ’48\nZiad Basouny – independent for Watson\nAhmed Ouf – independent for Blaxland\nVote for Palestine\nRefugee Action Coalition\nMaritime Union of Australia – Sydney Branch\nNational Tertiary Education Union\nStop the War on Palestine\nFamilies for Palestine\nPalestinian Australians Welfare Association\nSydney City for Palestine\nSydney Anti Aukus Coalition\nCanterbury-Bankstown for Palestine\nConversations for Palestine
