Rally: Say No to Israeli sponsored film festival.

Tuesday, August 18, 2015 - 18:00

Tuesday, August 18

Along with its other cultural trappings, Israel uses cinema to shore up its carefully manufactured international image as an enlightened 'beacon of democracy in the Middle East' – a world away from the fanaticism of the settlements, the separation wall, the checkpoints, the siege and butchery of Gaza with its devastated families, and its wanton attacks on hospitals, paramedics, rescue workers and fleeing civilians. Let's send our message across by exposing Israel's legacy of dispossession, exile and occupation of indigenous Palestinians. We will be protesting in front of the following locations at 6pm. Palace Como, Level 2, Como Centre, Cnr of Toorak Rd & Chapel St, Sth Yarra & Palace Brighton Bay, 294 Bay St, Brighton.
