Palestine Under Seige Film Screening hosted by Port Phillip for Palestine.
This is our first and major fundraising to cover costs for our activism. Funds will be shared between Port Phillip for Palestine and Hebron Human Rights.
The documentary highlights Dr Hanan Ashrawi, a Palestinian politician and winner of the 2003 Australian Peace Prize, provides valuable insights into the one state - two state discussion and reflects on the tragedy of Israel's blockade of Gaza.
Representatives of the Hebron Human Rights Defenders speak and share disturbing videos of the actions of illegal settlers and Israeli soldiers in Hebron, who regularly taunt, spit on, throw rubbish at and attack Palestinians.
On returning to Australia Peter, Rand and Lee continued their activities with the Palestine solidarity movement in Sydney. The film ends with a passionate plea from Fayrouz Sharqawi, a worker with Grassroots Al Quds, calling on the international community to expand its support and solidarity with Palestinians.
