RAMALLAH: PALESTINE MUSIC SPACE The collective 'Solidarité Palestine-Fribourg' invites you to the second edition of its festival, dedicated to solidarity with the Palestinian people in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, who have been subjected to ongoing genocide for nearly three years, while the brutality of colonization and crimes in the West Bank have reached unprecedented levels.
We are outraged and deeply hurt in our humanity because we are witnesses from afar to this historic injustice. Yet, we refuse to succumb to cynicism and learned helplessness that the powers of this world want to impose on us. With this weekend, we aim to highlight Palestinian culture, memory, and resistance, and to raise funds that will be directly forwarded to local active organizations. Palestine is our compass. After more than 1,000 days of genocide and 75 years of military and criminal occupation, Palestine is still here. More present than ever in the consciousness of peoples. Because there is a truth that empires have never understood. You can massacre a population, occupy a land, control borders, but you can never fully suppress the desire for justice and freedom. We are very much looking forward to this committed, solidaric, and rebellious weekend.
