Large national demonstration against Hogra (oppression) and state racism

On 1 December, we will reappear and march to demand equality and dignity for all!

On 1 December, we hope we will be many to join this historic march for justice and dignity. A great mobilization to say no to state racism is the only way to create a real balance of political power, able to change course from our unjust societies.

Gather at 2:00 pm in front of the statue of the genocidal King Leopold II at Trone Square, Brussels.

Around the world people are resisting and rebelling against an increasingly corrupt, violent and barbaric imperialist system. With the positive arguments in favour of the system largely discredited, the propagandists of imperialism have turned to labeling peoples legitimate struggles for justice and liberation as ‘terrorist’. And repressive states from Canada to Israel to the Philippines have passed legislation to criminalize people’s movements, mass struggles and solidarity efforts. Terrorist tagging and criminalization are then used to justify state sponsored extrajudicial killings, arrests, incarceration and other forms of repression.

Join International League of Peoples Struggle for a discussion of resistance and repression in the Philippines, India, Palestine, Latin America and on Turtle Island.

As part of the festival, “Les Nuits d’Orient”

Samouni Road, a fim by Stefano Savona
(Prize for best documentary at the Cannes Film Festival 2018)
France, Italy – 2018 – duration 2h08

Discussion following the screening led by Hisham Abu Shahla, PhD student in political science who is conducting research on Palestine and was part of the film’s team.

In the rural outskirts of Gaza, the Samouni family is about to celebrate a wedding. This is the first party since the last war. Amal, Fouad, their brothers and their cousins have lost their parents, their homes and their olive trees. The neighborhood where they live is under reconstruction. They replant trees and plow fields, but a more difficult task still lies with these young survivors: rebuilding their own memoy. Through their memories, Samouni Road paints a portrait of this family before, during and after the event that changed their lives forever.

Evening organized by the French Jewish Union for Peace UJFP and France-Palestine Solidarity Association AFPS.

Samouni Road, un film de Stefano Savona
(Prix du Meilleur documentaire au Festival de Cannes 2018)

?? Débat, à l’issue de la projection, animé par Hisham Abu Shahla, doctorant en science politique qui effectue ses recherches sur la question palestinienne et a fait partie de l’équipe de travail du film.

Dans la périphérie rurale de la ville de #Gaza, la famille Samouni s’apprête à célébrer un mariage. C’est la première fête depuis la dernière guerre. Amal, Fouad, leurs frères et leurs cousins ont perdu leurs parents, leurs maisons et leurs oliviers. Le quartier où ils habitent est en reconstruction. Ils replantent des arbres et labourent les champs, mais une tâche plus difficile encore incombe à ces jeunes survivants : reconstruire leur propre mémoire. Au fil de leurs souvenirs, Samouni Road dresse un portrait de cette famille avant, pendant et après l’événement qui a changé leur vie à jamais.

With book table and products from Palestine

Palestinian food from 5 pm, Film and discussion 6 pm

Our guests are: Sabreen and Ashraf al-Najjar and director Iyad Alasttal

Cafe Palestine is dedicated to Razan al-Najjar. The 21-year-old volunteer paramedic was shot dead in Khan Younis in the Gaza Strip on 1 June 2018 by an Israeli army sniper. Razan wore the white coat of the health service, and should have been protected under international law.

Razan was shot deliberately because she was part of the Great Return March, which has been taking place every Friday since 30 March for Palestinians’ right to return to their homes. Photos show her as a young woman who tried to save lives despite the danger, whose colorful headscarf stood out in the march.

We will screen the documentary, “Razan, Trace of a Butterfly,” by Iyad Alasttal (30 min, Arabic/English subtitles). The film follows Razan’s mother and family in their home. We meet the neighbors, get to know the life of this young woman and see these peaceful marches.

Mother Sabreen and father Ashraf al-Najjar will tell us about their daughter, the situation in Gaza and the marches.

Das Café Palestine ist RAZAN AL-NAJJAR gewidmet. Die 21-jährige freiwillige Sanitäterin, wurde am 1. Juni 2018 bei Khan Younis im Gaza-Streifen von einem Scharfschützen der israelischen Armee erschossen. Razan trug die weisse Weste des Gesundheitsdienstes, wäre damit durch internationales Recht geschützt.

Razan wurde gezielt erschossen, denn sie war ein Idol des „Marsches der Rückkehr“, der seit dem 30. März jeden Freitag stattfindet, um an das Recht der Palästinenser zur Rückkehr an ihre Wohnorte zu erinnern. Bilder zeigen sie als junge muslimische Frau, als unerschrockene Samariterin, die – ungeachtet der Gefahr, in die sich dabei bringt – versuchte, Leben zu retten. Ihr Kennzeichen waren die farbigen Kopftücher.

Wir zeigen den Dokumentarfilm „Razan, a Track of a Butterfly” von Iyad Alasttal (30 min, arabisch, englisch untertitelt). Wir folgen darin der Mutter von Razan und ihrer Familie in ihrem Haus, im Quartier. Wir begegnen den Nachbarn, lernen das Leben der jungen Frau kennen und sehen Bilder von diesen friedlichen Märschen.

Mutter Sabreen und Vater Ashraf Al-Najjar werden uns über ihre Tochter erzählen, über die Situation in Gaza und von den Märschen. Zum Leid, das sie durch den Tod ihrer Tochter erlitten haben, kommen die Verleumdungen durch Israel.

Palestinian prisoners play a very important role in the Palestinian struggle for liberation ever since Israel has criminalized all forms of Palestinian existence and resistance. Arbitrary arrests and the imprisonment of Palestinians who peacefully demonstrate against the Israeli occupation happen on a daily-basis and, today, there are around 6,500 Palestinians held in Israeli prisons, out of which approximately 250 are children.

Joe Catron is a journalist who has lived in Gaza for over three years, where he worked directly with prisoners’ families and former prisoners. He is now the U.S. coordinator of Samidoun, the Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network. Come hear from him more about the Palestinian Prisoners’ Struggle!

Join us this Sunday for a screening of the recently released documentary Killing Gaza.

“Independent journalists Max Blumenthal and Dan Cohen documented Israel’s 2014 assault on Gaza during the war, and chronicled its horrific aftermath. As they waded through the rubble of Gaza’s destroyed border regions, they turned a camera onto the survivors of the slaughter and let them speak for themselves.

Dan returned, week after week, to capture on film the daily struggles of the people of Gaza as they suffered through one of the worst winters in recorded history, and then weathered the sweltering summer heat without electricity and — in many cases — without homes.

While giving voice to the pain of a people under siege, Cohen and Blumenthal also highlighted Gazans’ inspiring acts of creative resistance, from painting to break-dancing to literature, that allow them maintain their humanity in the face of deprivation and war.

Killing Gaza is much more than a documentary about Palestinian resilience and suffering. It is a chilling visual document of war crimes committed by the Israeli military, featuring direct testimony and evidence from the survivors, delivered to them often just days after escaping indiscriminate shelling, bombings and summary executions.”

Following this we will have a discussion and updates on the current situation in Gaza. The March of Return has seen hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza participate in the mass demonstrations along the border fence.The Zionist regime has reacted with violent crimes on unarmed civilians, with 220 Palestinians killed in the past 7 months. Just last week another ceasefire was agreed to following a barrage of airstrikes on Gaza. Meanwhile, Israeli parliamentary politics continue to use resistance in Gaza as a tool in their possible early upcoming elections. Following the global trend of a shift to the far-right.

We must not lose sight of the brutality of political imprisonment, especially when directed against children as young as 10, facing violent arrests, charges and imprisonment for several years. Other political prisoners like Georges Abdallah and Mumia Abu-Jamal have been fighting for over 34 years for their freedom without relinquishing their principles even slightly. It is our duty to speak their names and ensure their voices are heard. This event is in the spirit of exchange, networking and solidarity between prisoner solidarity organizations and individuals.
