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.

    Not only is this propaganda, but it's more like a fraud. They have registered the domain name of culturalmedia.com.au using fake information. I just tracked down the person whose information has been used to register this domain name, and they are going to take steps to bring down the website.

          On the other side you have a home made rockets of which about 450 fell during the current escalation in the Gaza strip borders.

        I agree. See this X (Twitter) thread: https://twitter.com/eyeofbass/status/1714382229265109341

        I'm no weapons expert, but it sure looks like it's accidentally coming from HAMAS.

        If it's not an accident, then who has the motive for this? It works out in HAMAS' favour, not Israel. Hiding behind civilian carnage is HAMAS' M.O. It's also the only Christian run hospital in Gaza. So if Israel has resorted to bombing civilian hospitals, it makes me wonder why the IDF would target a Christian hospital and not a Muslim one? If it turns out to be from Israel, it will definitely piss off their Christian allies.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_refugees

      Today, the largest number of refugees, over 2,000,000, live in Jordan, where by 2009 over 90% of UNWRA-registered Palestinian refugees had acquired full citizenship rights. This figure consists almost exclusively of West Bank–descended Palestinians;[a]; however, as of December 2021, Palestinians with roots in the Gaza Strip are also still kept in legal limbo. In 2021, Jordanian politician Jawad Anani estimated that roughly 50% of Jordan's population had West Bank–Palestinian roots.[b][8][9][10][11] Another approximately 2,000,000 refugees live in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, under Israeli occupation and blockade. Approximately 500,000 refugees live in each of Syria and Lebanon respectively, albeit under very different circumstances. While Palestinian refugees in Syria maintained their stateless status, the Syrian government afforded them the same economic and social rights enjoyed by Syrian citizens;

      why none at the arab countries agree to allow Palestinian refugees?

      because once those Palestinians leave,
      they won't be able to return back,
      and the land they left, will be taken over the occupying force.

      This has already happened.

      If you see the millions that were taken in by Lebanon and Jordan,
      they have not been able to go back for the last 20,30,40,50 years now.

    This exact scenario is what I argued with the mods over "What is a woman" shit show. Just set up a free streaming section within ozbargin, so people can post these sorts of deals. Otherwise you can technically argue that a movie that was once in the cinema or required payment is a deal when it is shown on free to air tv or a free streaming avenue. Not separating these movies/doco from the front page deals will ensure that ozbargin turns into a dumping ground for viewer harvesting avenue and eventually people will not be bothered posting real deals.

    Thanks, I'm going to check these out. Free movies are a bargain, though they're also obviously propaganda in this case, but that didn't stop the What Is A Woman? and vegan documentaries getting posted.

    It is obvious that, while civilians are clearly innocent, HAMAS is a terrorist organisation. While the IDF goes to lengths to avoid killing civilians of Palestine, not only does HAMAS specifically target Israeli civilians, they also use their own civilians as human shields. There is no moral equivalency between HAMAS and Israel.

    But still, the civilians are the ones who suffer. Don't forget that HAMAS took power in 2006 under the name of Change and Reform Party with a minority vote, and haven't allowed an election in the 13 years since then. The majority of Palestinians are consistently polled to support cease-fires. HAMAS and their actions are clearly not supported by the people. It's sad that the Palestinian people will suffer the brunt of the repercussions, not HAMAS' leaders living in mansions in Qatar.

    Moreover, half [of Gazans polled] (50%) agreed with the following proposal: “Hamas should stop calling for Israel’s destruction, and instead accept a permanent two-state solution based on the 1967 borders.”

    • Russ on 18/10/2023 - 13:12

      "instead accept a permanent two-state solution based on the 1967 borders."

      Your quote says "accept" as though such a solution is available. It isn't, so your quote is misleading.

      Israel appears to have no intention of allowing the 1967 borders to stand, or they'd take action on the Israeli "settlers" occupying Palestinian lands - inside the 1967 borders.

      • bestroadtech on 18/10/2023 - 13:57
        +4

        You're correct in that the exact 1967 borders have not been offered for such reasons as Israel is now unwilling to give up Jerusalem. That being said, "a permanent two-state solution based on the 1967 borders" has been offered multiple times, with modifications

        In fact, a two-state solution based on 1967 borders was being actively worked towards by both Israel and Palestine in the 1990's and early 2000's. Israel has made huge border concessions in the past including digging up Jewish graves and moving Israeli homes.

        Then HAMAS came into power with an explicit goal of wiping out Israel (see their own founding documents).

        Either way, my point is that the majority of Palestinian people do not support the goals and tactics of HAMAS, at least in practice. Where Palestinians are willing to make compromises, HAMAS is not. Peace was possible before HAMAS, but it is not possible as long as HAMAS exists as it does today.

        • Russ on 18/10/2023 - 14:22

          Israel has made huge border concessions in the past including digging up Jewish graves and moving Israeli homes.

          Which side of the 1967 border were those graves and homes on? If it was the Palestinian side, then that "concession", giving back land that shouldn't have been taken in the first place, sounds more like "reparations" than "concession".

          I agree that peace solutions have been worked on in the past, and have fallen apart for various reasons. It doesn't help today, where the Israeli government appear to be perfectly happy to not find a solution, and continue to repress the Palestinian people.

            No, it's a concession. The Arabs attacked Israel and lost. Israel is literally willing to dig up their graves in order to make peace, meanwhile HAMAS' founding document says this:

            The land of Palestine is an Islamic Waqf consecrated for future Moslem generations until Judgement Day. It, or any part of it, should not be squandered: it, or any part of it, should not be given up … the same goes for any land the Moslems have conquered by force."

            How can you possibly refute that HAMAS are the ones standing in the way of a two-state system when they themselves declare that they are?

            I agree that peace solutions have been worked on in the past, and have fallen apart for various reasons. It doesn't help today, where the Israeli government appear to be perfectly happy to not find a solution, and continue to repress the Palestinian people.

            The Israeli Government knows that they can't work with HAMAS for the above reason. Israel was working towards peace, then HAMAS took control. Israel is willing to work other Arab and Muslim nations such as the UAE. In fact, it's hypothesised that this whole war was triggered by Israel becoming MORE friendly with Muslim and Arab nations.

            It's entirely clear which party is unwilling to come to the table: HAMAS.

              The occupation of Palestine started in 1967.
              HAMAS was founded in 1987, and wasn't "in control" until 2006.

              So that's 20 years before HAMAS existed, and 39 years before HAMAS was in control, in which no long-term peace was reached. So it's not just HAMAS the Israeli government was unable to come to an agreement with.
