March 28, 2024 - From Frente Fotográfico, on the day before the Dia Del Joven Combatiente:
On the eve of a new commemoration of the Day of the Young Combatant, we leave a small compilation of multiple actions of protest and street-fighting in memory of this day, that has been inherited from generation to generation by people in Santiago and the universities.
This 29th again we not only remember Eduardo and Rafael, but also Paulina Aguirre, Mauricio Maigret, Cristian Valdebenito, Luisa Toledo and hundreds of comrades who fell in combat, leaving their collective heritage, conviction, eloquence and love for the people, with dignity.
The political bureau chief of Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh, is in the Iranian capital for high-level talks. The visit to Tehran comes a day after the UNSC passed a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.
"what does international law mean for Palestinian children in Gaza today? It has protected neither them nor their parents. It has not protected their families or communities, it has not protected their lives or limbs, it has not protected their hopes or homes. We are a proud and resilient people that has endured more than its share of agony.
It is so painful to be Palestinian today. "
Today at the international court of justice hearing on Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories, Riyad Mansour, the Palestinian ambassador to the UN, held back tears as he appealed to the judges to uphold international law in the Palestinian territories and help secure a two-state solution 'in which the two-states live side by side in peace and security'.
They Do Not Exist (1974) by Mustafa Abu Ali (watch)
from PalestineCinema.com:
Salvaged from the ruins of Beirut after 1982, Abu Ali's early film has only recently been made available. Shooting under extraordinary conditions, the director, who worked with Godard on his Ici et Ailleurs (Here and Elsewhere), and founded the PLO's film division, covers conditions in Lebanon's refugee camps, the effects of Israeli bombardments, and the lives of guerrillas in training camps. They Do Not Exist is a stylistically unique work which demonstrates the intersection between the political and the aesthetic. Now recognised as a cornerstone in the development of Palestinian cinema, the film only received its Palestine premiere in 2003, when a group of Palestinian artists "smuggled" the director to a makeshift cinema in his hometown of Jerusalem (into which Israel bars his entry).
Abu Ali, who saw his film for the first time in 20 years at this clandestine event noted: "We used to say 'Art for the Struggle', now it's 'Struggle for the Art'"
