The 2023 Palestinian Film Festival Australia has been postponed, and two documentaries from previous years have been made free to stream.

From their website:

The continuing crisis in Occupied Palestine is heartbreaking. Our thoughts, prayers and love are with the innocent and vulnerable people caught up in this latest war. This is not the time to hold a film festival. It is time to mourn the dead, pay our respects to those suffering and work together to bring an immediate end to the ongoing atrocities against innocent civilians. It is for these reasons, we have decided to postpone the 2023 Palestinian Film Festival Australia.

In an effort to promote an increased understanding of what is happening in Occupied Palestine, the Palestinian Film Festival Australia is making two documentaries, 1948: Creation & Catastrophe and Gaza, screened at previous Palestinian film festivals freely available for all Australians to see.

1948: Creation and Catastrophe by Andy Trimlett and Ahlam Muhtaseb.

Through moving personal recollections of both Palestinians and Israelis, 1948: Creation and Catastrophe reveals the shocking events of the most pivotal year in the most controversial conflict in the world.

Gaza by Garry Keane and Andrew McConnell.

A portrait of a people attempting to lead meaningful lives against the rubble of perennial conflict and going beyond the reach of television news reports to reveal a world rich with eloquent and resilient characters.

                @Russ: The Israelis had a peace agreement in 1948 when they were founded. The Arab nations then decided to invade and break that peace.

                Since that time, Israel has made several peace treaties, such as with Egypt (1979) and Jordan (1994). Israel is more than willing to make peace with its neighbours.

                The whole problem is that the Palestinian leadership, HAMAS or otherwise, never viewed Israel as having a right to exist. Do you deny this? That's the reason Israel has struggled to make peace with Palestine.

                HAMAS was founded in 1987, and wasn't "in control" until 2006.

                HAMAS wasn't "founded" out of the blue in 1987, it split from the Muslim Brotherhood in 1987 (founded in 1928), and essentially became a separate entity because of the First Intifada, a war on Israel.

                So that's … 39 years before HAMAS was in control

                The PLO and Israel were working strongly towards peace in the 1990's and 2000's, but HAMAS and the PIJ kept attacking Israel with suicide bombers even before HAMAS took control (with a minority vote, under a different name, triggering a conflict with their own people / counterparts, after Israel withdrew from Gaza in order to work towards peace). These attacks were specifically targeted to disrupt Israel's attempts at peace talks whenever they were taking place.

                So, essentially, Israel has been successfully making peace with its neighbours since 1979 despite being attacked by HAMAS and its father organisation the entire time. If anything, that speaks to Israel's resilience. That's not so say that Israel hasn't instigated at times, broken international law, etc, and it would be dishonest to pretend others, but…

                At the end of the day, Israel has accepted Palestine's right to exist, but Palestine's leadership has not accepted Israel's right to exist. There is no denying this fact, and there inherently cannot be peace until this changes.

            @SolidlyIrresponsible: There's a list somewhere online,
            of all the number of U.N. resolutions breached
            and which countries have voted against them repeatedly.

            • SolidlyIrresponsible on 18/10/2023 - 14:13
              +1

              @whyisave: OK, cool. But what is your point? I'm sure we can have a seperate list for Hamas actions as well.
              I am obviously talking about opportunities that makes all the difference between a war and peace in the region. Trying to derail this into some kind of quid pro quo math exercise is pointless if you really want the later.

              • whyisave on 18/10/2023 - 14:17

                @SolidlyIrresponsible: The U.N. resolutions itself are a publicly mediated form of progression towards an agreement.
                It's open, just like how Australian Government politicians vote in the Parliament and the Senate.

                If you are not aware of the voting patterns and the breaches,
                then, you don't get a the bigger picture of the character of the politician itself
                or even the nation-state, to see over 30,40,50 years…the pattern in the behaviour..
                ..of not only one nation-state,…but many nation-states.

                So, that is a better picture of the opportunities missed by one or many,
                instead of taking "one-eyed" view:

                how many opportunities … had squandered since 1948.

                  @whyisave: In the last 50 years Israel have signed more peace agreements and gave back more land to the peace process than any Palestinian government/authority/leadership. So while I applaud you being such a stickler to the UN decisions, I must ask why do you ignore the biggest breach of a UN decision in 48 to establish 2 states, one for Jewish population and one for the Arabic?

        In 1947, after more than two decades of British rule, the United Nations proposed a plan to partition Palestine into two sections: an independent Jewish state and an independent Arab state. The city of Jerusalem, which was claimed as a capital by both Jews and Palestinian Arabs, was to be an international territory with a special status.

        Most Jewish leaders accepted the plan, but many Palestinian Arabs—some of whom had been actively fighting British and Jewish interests in the region since the 1920s—vehemently opposed it.

      This emotional argument about stolen land doesn't pass a simple fact checking or just pure common sense. No matter how back you go in time, you will find some Jewish presence in what's today a modern day Israel. The attempt to colour it as if Jewish people just arrived over night and kicked everyone out is a propaganda. The Arabic population got its best deal in the first part of the last century but instead choose to rage wars. With every war, they lost more and more land.

        Israel go out of their way to avoid civilian casualties, they send voice and text messages and "knock" on buildings before bombing them so civilians know to leave, and the only reason they are bombing civilian buildings in the first place is because Hamas stash military assets in them. This is a vast difference to Hamas who specifically target civilians as well as using their own people as human body shields.

                @Andy Bernard: Sure, but what part do you need proof of? The video is widely circulating and is from Al Jazeera who are pro Palestine and ended up unintentionally streaming it. The main thing that there is misinformation about is claims that the video is an hour before the strike happened (and therefore there must have been another source of the explosion), which has been debunked (see the first few comments quoting Arab sources) https://twitter.com/ELINTNews/status/1714401175452143636?t=A…

                So you have a video of rockets fired from Gaza, one breaking apart, landing on the hospital at the exact time it happened, seems pretty clear to me.

    Thanks for sharing!

    Helps to understand the Israeli occupation for the last 75 years and especially the blockade of Gaza for the past two decades, and not take such a closed minded view based on just the events of the last 2 weeks. Shame many are just interested in the tit-for-tat events in recent times instead of looking at the apartheid regime, expulsion of the indigenous population and conditions imposed on the Palestinian population (inclusive of Muslim and Christian Palestinians).

      Nice try. The indigenous population is Israel. Have claims to the land dating back millenia. Just look at who was in the land at the time of the Roman Empire! Your fake prophet confirms Israel's existance too!

        These "rights" support the implementation of a system of segregation based on religious grounds, freedom of movement, financial autonomy, humanitarian aid? No such thing is documented in any religious texts

        I don't have a great religious understanding, but following your arguments, wouldn't the Canaanites be the Indigenous population?? Honestly this arguing over land rights is ridiculous. How about human rights?

          Good point but only problem is Canaanites were completely wiped out, no modern day descendants. Israel were the next occupiers of the land.
