Together with the Dutch Palestine Committee (Nederlands Palestina Komitee), FFIPP Netherlands would like to invite you to join the conversation with writer, journalist and activist Ahmed Abu-Artema from Gaza.

On December 12, FFIPP Netherlands will host an evening on different strategies of oppression that are employed by the Israeli intelligence and security forces against Palestinians. The evening starts with a screening of the documentary film 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝟭𝟴, which combines stop motion animation and interviews to tell the absurd story of the Israeli army’s pursuit of 18 cows deemed a security threat in the Palestinian town of Beit Sahour. The film is followed by a talk by 𝗦𝗼𝗯𝗵𝗶 𝗞𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗯, who will discuss the violation of Palestinians’ digital human rights and the occupation of the Palestinian digital space as yet another strategy of oppression. There will be sufficient room for questions and debate at the end.

The event takes place at the Cinema of the Dam'd (Overtoom 301, Amsterdam) from 7 until 9 pm.

Get to know FFIPP Netherlands! During our meet-up we will inform you about the work that FFIPP Europe and FFIPP Netherlands do, the events that we aim to organise in Amsterdam throughout the coming year, our summer program and the way you could get involved in our work. We would like to see as many students as possible being involved in raising awareness about the human rights situation in Palestine/Israel this year!

Sarit Michaeli, International Advocacy Officer of the Israeli human rights organization B'Tselem, will discuss the systematic shirking of its obligation under international law to ensure accountability for the killing and injury of Palestinian minors by the Israeli security forces…

Since 2005, the Israeli-Palestinian NGOs Combatants for Peace and the Parents Forum have been organizing a joint, inclusive ceremony for Israeli-Palestinian Memorial Day in Tel Aviv. The goal of the event is to challenge the consensual narrative and offer an alternative that denounces war and contests the legitimacy of violence. In the last few years, the organizers have been encouraging screenings and satellite events in cities throughout the world. This 7th of May, gate48 in cooperation with AUC (Amsterdam University College) and FFIPP-NL (Educational Network for Human Rights in Israel/Palestine) will live-stream the ceremony in Amsterdam. We invite you to join us for the screening of this unique event and for a conversation about inclusion and non-violent resistance in present day Israel/Palestine.

The event will be moderated by Erella Grassiani and Hilla Dayan, co-founders of gate48.

The widespread controversy surrounding US congresswoman Ilhan Omar's criticism of the influence of the lobby-group American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) on policy-makers in the United States has sparked a big debate in the U.S.

In light of these events, FFIPP Netherlands is hosting a screening of the film "The Occupation of the American Mind". Narrated by Roger Waters and featuring leading observers of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, the film explores how the Israeli government, the US government, and the pro-Israel lobby have joined forces, often with very different motives and interests, to shape American media coverage of the conflict in Israel’s favor.

Hosted by FFIPP Netherlands.
