Wish Ahed, the
directorial debut of Durham activists Ajamu Amiri Dillahunt
and Desmera Gatewood, documents their journey to Palestine
to speak with people affected by the Israeli occupation,
adding to the discourse on Black-Palestinian solidarity with
hip-hop music by Joshua Gunn. This block also includes Translucent,
in which Azzan Quick uses compelling conceptual scenes and
verité footage to explore their transitioning identity in
the context of their family.
|
Goal: To
present on the transformation happening in relation to human
rights advocacy in relation to the Middle East, and particularly
the Palestinian issue. The speakers will provide college
students and university academics with presentations focusing on
the narrative of the conflict and how a new generation is trying
to find its footing in achieving freedom and human dignity -
particularly with the US commitment to international norms
deteriorating.

Balance & Accuracy in Journalism progam
USA vs Al Arian
7:30 pm Wednesday December 13
Chapel Hill Community Church
106 Purefoy Road
Chapel Hill, NC 27514
As Islamophobia and Patriot Act hysteria continue to
undermine our country’s Bill of Rights, legal precedent
accumulates dangerous, “Alice in Wonderland”
practices.
Next Wednesday we will screen the internationally acclaimed
“USA vs Al Arian.”
The documentary examines the persecution of Univ of South Florida
professor Sami Al Arian on false terrorism charges.
An intersecting case is investigated in Miko Peled’s
forthcoming book, INJUSTICE,
exposing egregious abuse of power that jailed board members of a
Palestinian relief project, the Holy Land Foundation.
Contributions received at Wednesday’s program will be applied to a Triangle
appearance by Peled, as he begins his book tour.

URGENT: MAY 15TH, 2017 PALESTINIAN HUNGER STRIKE
SOLIDARITY & NAKBA DAY OBSERVANCE
So often we ask what we can do in the face of
decades of human rights violations committed against the Palestinians.
And we watch in dismay as our government and our representatives stand
by in complicity of the continuation of these violations.
So here is something you can do: show
solidarity with the Palestinian hunger strikers giving them hope, send
our government
a message that the world is watching, learn more about Palestinian
struggles and do this in community.

Emergency Response Plans
Information Letter, Timeline of Events
and Sample Appeal Letter
Dear Friends of Tent
of Nations,
We are writing this letter to call for action against acts of
injustice by the Israeli Military towards the Nassar family farm and
theirTent of Nations Peace
Project. This farm (known as Daher’s Vineyard) is located just six
miles southwest of Bethlehem in the Occupied Territories of
Palestine (the West Bank). As you know, this family has
registration papers for their 100-acre farm dating back to the
Ottoman Empire, and they are now in a situation where the Israeli
Defense Forces (IDF) brought in bulldozers on
May 19, 2014
and destroyed between 1,500 and 2,000 mature, fruit-bearing apricot
and apple trees and grape vines, all in the lower valley of the
farm....

Rev. Mark Davidson's "How Our Church’s Witness for a Just
Peace Strengthened Our Relationships Within the Jewish Community" ,
published in Unbound. "An
Interactive Journal of Christian Social Justice".
Excerpt from conclusion: So if you are considering
bold, conscience-driven public witness toward a just peace in
Israel-Palestine but are worried that it will damage your interfaith
friendships with our Jewish friends and colleagues, I urge you to take
the risk and trust the depth of the friendship. Sparks will certainly
fly, but you’ll be surprised what wonders the Spirit can work through
your moral courage.

No WAR with Iran - Please post, share
and act now
The
U.S. Senate is just eight votes away from passing veto-proof legislation
that could torpedo diplomatic negotiations with Iran and send the U.S.
to war. But outrage is growing and we can help turn the tide by sending
a message to the 21 senators who have come out against AIPAC-backed bill
S.1881, and the 20 senators who haven't endorsed. Sign the petition
below to make sure these senators stand strong and don't support AIPAC's
war bill.To sign petition, click

Petition Senator Reid: No to S 1881
Senators Kirk, Schumer, and Menendez have sponsored an AIPAC-written
bill S. 1881 that will impose new sanctions on Iran. The Administration
has said this bill will kill diplomacy with Iran and President Obama has
called it a "march to war" since it will effectively end nuclear talks.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid can stop this bill by not allowing it
to come up for a vote. Don't undermine this golden chance for diplomacy
to work; ask Senate Majority Leader Reid to keep the bill off the floor.
To sign petition, click

Action alert from
United for Peace and Justice
The Senate is back in session and will soon be considering the Nuclear
Weapons Free Iran Act
(S 1881). The clear purpose of this bill is to undermine the promising
diplomatic opening to Iran, undertaken by the Obama Administration.
