Queer and trans Palestinian people have asked their partners worldwide to refuse complicity with their oppressors: #StopPinkwashing! And queer solidarity with Palestine is rising in response: from Sam Smith dropping their Israel show last month (shoutouts to @AdalahJusticeProject), to a Chicago anti-pinkwashing campaign last year (@USPCN), to a recent win at Lisbon Pride. Across the globe, queer individuals and groups have #NoPrideInApartheid!
Fabulous evening with the Philadelphia Orchestra Pride Concert. 2500 people filled the Kimmel Center for music ranging from Gaga’s “Born This Way” to Bizet’s “Votre toast, je peux vous le rende” from Carmen. My favorites were Copeland’s Fanfare for the Common Man followed by Tower’s Fanfare for the Uncommon Woman. Conductor - Marin Alsop, out and proud.
Adichie, Chimamanda Ngozi, Americanah, 2013, Anchor Books, brilliant, beautifully written, evocative, funny novel about race, class, identity, immigrant dreams, as two young Nigerians grapple with life in America and London and the passion and perils of love. Highly recommend and relevant today.

Two documentaries, "Voices across the Divide" and "Born in Deir Yassin," pull back the carefully constructed curtain of “a land without people for a people without a land.” Since 1948, a monumental effort has been made to promote a romantic mythology of Israel's creation and to hide the brutal violence.

Welcome! You are invited to join a meeting: Voices from the Holy Land Online Film Salon: NAKBA 75: Remembering the Voices. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the meeting.

Two documentaries, "Voices across the Divide" and "Born in Deir Yassin," pull back the carefully constructed curtain of “a land without people for a people without a land.” Since 1948, a monumental effort has been made to promote a romantic mythology of Israel's creation and to hide the brutal violence. But firsthand accounts by both the oppressor and the oppressed, the expeller and the exiled, reveal the ongoing wounds. Nothing is resolved by dialogue alone, yet nothing will be resolved without it. Any hope of coexistence begins when the historical truth is rediscovered and acknowledged. It begins here. Register below and join us on May 21 at 3:00 PM Eastern for a discussion of the Nakba and the films with: - Alice Rothchild: Author, filmmaker, and Assistant Professor, Harvard Medical School (retired) - Emad Moussa: Palestinian-British journalist, researcher, and human rights activist - Huda Giddens: Naka survivor, founder of Giddens School Our moderator will be Ahlam Muhtaseb: Author, filmmaker, and Professor of Media Studies at CSUSB. After you register, you will receive a confirmation email from Zoom with links to watch the films for free at your convenience. Then join us for the Q&A Discussion online on May 21.

Lively conversation with authors Layla Taji and Nada Elia, hosted by University of Washington’s SUPER, moderated by Jonah Silverstein.
Finally saw WOMEN TALKING, a brutal, powerful film based on real events in an isolated Mennonite community in Bolivia where women were repeatedly drugged and raped. The film follows the women who are illiterate, faithful to the church, becoming more aware and empowered, as they meet to decide to: Stay, Fight, or Leave. Highly recommended.
