Das, was @Rote_Flora sagt!      

➡️ Those who march with authoritarians will never arrive in a liberated society!

"Für das Leben – gegen euren Tod. Jin Jiyan Azadi. Gegen eure Märtyrer-Romantik.

Kein Staat befreit. Keine Miliz emanzipiert.

Solidarität heißt nicht: Seite wählen.
Solidarität heißt: sich der Vereinnahmung entziehen.
Keine Fahne. Kein Mythos. Keine Held*innen."

#Australia #History #Watching #SBS [edit - sbs on demand]

#WomenOfTheSun is a TV mini series in 4 episodes first released in 1981. It’s currently back on SBS for another 2 months.

I remember seeing this when it first came out, but that was 40 years ago, so not 100% sure what I thought at the time, though i must have thought it a positive series, as i watched it all.

started to re-watch it the other night, and couldn’t finish watching it. sometimes i find myself caring about characters, and if I dread what might happen to them, it’s just too much. Just the same, I do think WomenOfTheSun is well made, and i mention it now cos i had [yet another] eureka moment while watching.

i can’t count the number of times i’ve read white accounts of early contact between Indigenous and white people, and thought “yeah nah, that sounds like utter BS”. just one commonly reported story is that Indigenous people offered their women to white men. watching ep 1 of Women of the Sun I thought yeah, nah, so many men are predatory it’s a bit like when a certain type of bloke convinces themselves a rape was actually consensual sex. never mind the very idea women are property to be given away like so many beads or blankets, there’s an added assumption that Indigenous cultures had no respect for women, or women’s business. we mustn’t be assessing everything through a white filter, or believing half the crap written by white anthropologists

[okay, i’m a plodding thinker and it can be years between moments, so maybe they are smack-myself-in-the-forehead rather than eureka moments, but whatever. at least i finally got there]

I’m not saying to potential viewers that there is a rape in this episode (as if knowing white people will really come and stay isn’t bad enough) — it was just this character with that rapey, all women are a place for me to insert myself attitude.

i’m so glad i’m retired and i don’t have to deal with people very often. 🙄 is there an “over that shit” hashtag?

The Israeli and Palestinian Women Calling for Peace [Yasmeen Serhan]

[...] “We said all the time that we have to solve this conflict as soon as possible because it’s a ticking bomb—it will kill all of us, [...] Now when you see the crisis, this terrible war, how can we suffer it and continue on this path?”

On October 4th. 2023, days before the Hamas massacre, 1,500 members of "Israeli Women Wage Peace" and "Palestinian Women of the Sun" gathered to demand an end to violence and resumption of negotiations. Their optimism, as we now know, was short-lived.

Since then, the situation has severely deteriorated. But the groups still believe a mutually agreed resolution is urgently needed to prevent further suffering, though political solutions seem increasingly remote.

Despite the challenges, they remain committed to women's participation in the peace process. Their joint Mothers' Call advocates this view, and seem to be gaining momentum. They were nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize and invited to speak to the French Parliament.
