Life in the Occupied Territories:
Watch two films with us that provide an excellent, down-to-earth
introduction to the occupation of Palestine and the nonviolent
movement for freedom and equality in the Holy Land. The first is
Life in Occupied Palestine, and the second is a preview of
Palestinian filmmaker and journalist Fida Qishta’s powerful movie,
Where Should the Birds Fly? The latter gives a glimpse
into the human catastrophe visited on the people of Gaza by Israel
during last year’s Operation Cast Lead. The screening will be
followed by a Q & A with Fida Qishta; Susan Beschta, a member of
Ascension parish and CodePink; and Judy Solomon of Women in Black
and CodePink. We'll be showing these films in the "library" of
St. Joseph's Parish House, 371 Sixth Avenue, on the UN
International Day of Peace, Tuesday, September 21st. Door will
open at 6:30 PM.
