Queer Cinema Palestine - No pride in Genocide

Airstrikes and shelling by Israeli Forces continue in #Gaza. No sirens. No safety. Let’s not forget Gaza. #CeasefireNow

Thankfully with internet connection restored most of our sponsored families in Gaza have checked in this morning. We're continuing to send when and what we can. They need us more than ever and every cent is desperately needed.

Let’s be clear Israel’s attack on Iran isn’t preemptive. It’s a preventive war, illegal, immoral, and timed for advantage, not defence. The world should be alarmed!

We'll be screening a curated 90 minutes of 8 stellar new queer short films in conjunction with this global event on Sunday the 29th of June at the WEA Hall in Ōtautahi. Mark it in your calendar.

"It is not possible for a humanitarian organisation, which truly respects the basic humanitarian principles, to adhere to such a scheme." UNRWA Lazzarini to Middle East Eye on Israel’s supply scheme in #Gaza. www.middleeasteye.net/news/israel-...

In #Gaza, one-year-old Dareen suffers from malnutrition. The manmade and politically motivated starvation in Gaza is an expression of cruelty. Following 11 weeks of siege, children like Dareen need an immediate and open flow of supply into Gaza, before it’s too late.

World leaders can make as many statements as they like opposing Israel's actions in Gaza. Until they end the sale of weapons to Israel, they remain complicit in the mass murder of Palestinians. Stop arming genocide, now.

The 6 families we have been supporting are tired, terrified, starving. Every family has young children, some have elderly grandparents, older than the fake state itself. If you can help us, help them, please get in touch asap 🙏 we send funds every Thurs & Sunday. The situation is extremely critical.

"How many more Palestinian lives will be wiped off from their homeland by bombardments, hunger or lack of medical care? These are lives. These are human beings. They cannot just be reduced to numbers." — UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini

“It’s a complete and utter horror show and it doesn’t end,” UNRWA Wateridge tells BBC News. People in #Gaza are going through unimaginable suffering: children killed and people starving after 11 weeks of blockade with no aid allowed in. Fully stocked warehouses are just hours away. This must stop.

Our tīpuna did not fight for our existence for us to apologise for our resistance. 20.05.25 | 3:30PM | Parliament. TOITŪ TE HAKA. @whaeadeb.bsky.social @rawiriwaititimp.bsky.social #NZPol #OneTermGovt #TePātiMāori #ToitūTeTiriti

From my dearest friend Yahya 💔

One of many messages I have received in the last hours. Can you help me and contribute to my beloved families?

The House: Parliamentary privileges - Race as an aggravating factor? www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

"Youssef, 4 years old, severely malnourished and injured in #Gaza. No access to food, no access to medical care. How many more Youssefs need to be sentenced to death to lift the siege on Gaza? It requires no more than political will and decision." — UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini

This is the worst punishment handed down EVER in our history. The worst on record was 3 days! When Tangata whenua resist, colonial powers reach for maximum penalty. This is a warning shot to all of us to fall in line. E kore rawa matau e tuohu! #toitūtetiriti #toitūtemanamāori #NZPol

Aid ship attacked by drones in international waters

Nearly 3,000 UNRWA trucks with lifesaving supplies are waiting outside #Gaza. But the siege blocking their entry continues. 1️⃣ million children depend on aid, and without it, their lives are in danger. The crossings must reopen, and the siege must be lifted. www.unrwa.org/newsroom/vid...

Nearly 3,000 UNRWA trucks with lifesaving aid are ready to enter #Gaza, but crossings remain closed. Supplies are expiring while people starve. The siege imposed by Israeli authorities must be lifted. Humanitarian access cannot wait any longer.

Please read this piece from my dear friend Yahya Al-Hamarna in Gaza. Yahya is a 23 year old Political Science student with aspirations of completing his studies abroad.

"In an attempt to raise awareness about the abuse and humiliation suffered by Palestinians who have been arrested and tortured by Israeli troops, Igor Dobrowolski, a Polish painter and performance artist, dressed up in a purple overall in March and placed a yellow sack over his head." aje.io/f4w2ri

"Wipe away my eyes" Junk Journal page May 2023. It's sad looking back and seeing how prolific I was in 2023 when I committed to creating every day. But life happens I guess.

Over 65,000 cases of acute malnutrition have been recorded among 1.1 million Palestinian children in Gaza, according to the Gaza Government Media Office. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/idzjbg

"Exist, Resist, Return" March 2024. I can't believe how depraved the world is, that Gaza's genocide could be livestreamed for YEARS without an end. Reminder to donate to fundraiser efforts, it's more important than ever‼️

"What next" Acrylic on canvas 22 February 2025. It feels so good to have a space to share art again without feeding AI ‼️

The meaning of life? It is thinking of others. And acting on those thoughts. No matter what you are going through. Joy, Relief, Pain, Fear. This is what I believe. This is what has been shown to me over and over in the last year and a half. By them who teach life best.
