»Bei der Demo zum Weltfrauentag am 8. März rief eine Aktivistin von „#Queers for Palestine“ dazu auf, Israel, den Eurovision Song Contest (#esc) und alle, die den Musikwettbewerb unterstützen, zu boykottieren. Gemeint waren explizit auch andere queere Gruppen« (aus dem Falter Newsletter)

Jetzt mal #Israel hin oder her (eigentlich nicht, aber das ist jetzt nicht mein Thema).
Diese positive Bezugnahme auf eine autoritär-patriarchale Gesellschaft samt klerikal-faschistischer Folterdikatur verstehe ich nicht. Es will mir einfach nicht in den Kopf.
Ich weiß, es wurde schon hinreichend dargelegt, wie dumm #queersforpalestine ist (queere Menschen fliehen aus den palästinensichen Gebieten u.a. nach Israel, damit sie nicht ermordet werden), aber anscheinend hilft das nicht.
Ist da wirklich Hopfen und Malz komplett verloren? Oder gibt es da irgendwelche bedeutsamen Dinge, von denen die Welt noch nix weiß?

Die theoretische Basis der »Queers for Palestine«

Wie kommt es, dass sich LGBTQ-Gruppen Solidarität mit islamistischen Terroristen üben, die Homosexuelle und Queers verfolgen und ermorden?

Mena-Watch

British Israeli former hostage Emily Damari just got engaged to her partner Danielle Amit. When she was in captivity they had to hide her relationship in case Hamas murdered her for being gay.

Now they are free to celebrate love forever ❤️

Leslie Feinberg speech at Aswat conference 2007

"Leslie Feinberg, a lesbian transgender and Jewish communist and a managing editor of Workers World, delivered the following solidarity statement to the first public conference of Aswat—​Palestinian Gay Women—​in Haifa on March 28, 2007. Bracketed words, phrases and sentences were delivered in Arabic. The 10th anniversary of comrade Leslie’s death will be marked on Nov. 15."

[I know where I stand: in historic Palestine. So my first words must be in Arabic. Thank you for inviting me here. It is the largest honor in my life. I salute Aswat.]

My first words in English must be why I am here, within the 1948 borders of the Israeli settler state. Why am I here when the colonial occupier set up an apartheid state in the name of Jewish people and co-opts the symbol of Judaism, stitching it into every uniform, flying it from every tank turret?

Why am I here when I remember, every day of my adult life, what happened to the people of Deir Yassin?"

Unfortunately, film material of hir speech has been removed from YT and Insta.

Queers for palestine - Assemblea aperta verso le piazze del 21 e del 28 novembre

Palazzina del centro di documentazione delle Donne, giovedì 13 novembre alle ore 20:00 CET

In quanto froce e femministe, sentiamo la responsabilità di esprimere in modo visibile la nostra vicinanza alla resistenza Palestinese, e prendere posizione per distaccarci dalla strumentalizzazione che da sempre, da Israele all’Occidente in generale, viene fatta delle nostre istanze per screditare i popoli arabi, giustificare l'islamofobia e il colonialismo.

Nel portare avanti le nostre lotte, sentiamo necessario organizzarci in diverse pratiche, quali i momenti di piazza che ci offrono spazio per esprimere il nostro rifiuto di questa narrazione coloniale e, nel farlo, trovare insieme strategie e pratiche di cura reciproca per attraversare la piazza insieme e in maniera sicura.

Verso le piazze del 21 novembre e del 28 novembre, ci vediamo giovedì 13 novembre alle 20 al centro delle donne in via del piombo, 5 Bologna per un'assemblea aperta.

Lo spazio è accessibile.

Cómo sanar el CIStema

Placa Homenatge Margarida Borràs, dimecres, 8 d’octubre, a les 19:30 CEST

(english below)

Cómo Sanar el CIStema a es un ritual participativo que se realiza en el marco del Octubre Trans. El sistema está tan podrido que quizá parezca ingenuo intentar sanarlo, pero no tememos desafíos aparentemente imposibles. Con la ayuda de nuestres ancestres trans, a quienes invocaremos para llevar a cabo el ritual, queremos crear una utopía transmaribibollo y relegar el cisheteropartiarcado al basurero de la histeria.

How to Heal the "Cistem", is a participatory ritual performed as part of Trans October. The system is so rotten that perhaps it seems naive to try to heal it, but we are not afraid of (seemingly) impossible challenges. With the help of our trans ancestors, whom we will invoke to carry out the ritual, we want to create a transqueer utopia and relegate cisheteropartiarchy to the trash can of histeria.
