The 32nd Pan African Film & Arts Festival, America’s largest Black-themed filmfest, took place Feb. 7 – Feb. 19 in Los Angeles. During Black History Month PAFF annually screens movies ranging from Hollywood studio productions and Hallmark Channel TV-movies to indies, foreign films, documentaries, low budget productions, shorts, animation, etc. Films span the spectrum from Oscar nominees to hard-to-find gems from Africa, the Caribbean, America and beyond that L.A. viewers are unlikely to be able to see at any other venue.

THIS IS LAGOS: A CRIME DRAMA IN URBAN AFRICA

The rich history of genocides does not show us combination like the one we
have today:
1) Overwhelming evidence of intent broadcast and available to everyone on
instant communication devices (phones, tablets, computer) and based on a
messianic model of chosenness linking to biblical mythologies of conquest
of Canaan, wiping out other nations etc
2) Wanton destruction of people and their livelihood. Destroying all their
means of livelihood denying them food, medicine, water, fuel etc. Man made
famine of thsi scale and meanness never happended before. Addedto direct
bombing of civilians, hundreds die daily and so far 1 in 20 people in Gaza
iskilledorn injured.
3) Wanton destruction of property to make life unnlivable even after the
genocide stops. 70% of all building are destroyed so far: homes hopsitals,
mosques, churches, civil defence, police buildings, water facicilities,
trees etc
4) Wanton attack and destruction of humanitarian aid organizations and
their facilities(e.g. the UN agencies)
5) Never in history do we see such division between the wishes of hundreds

Discussing next steps for building support for Palestine at OSU.

The genocide continues while organizers locally are trying to build necessary support for the movement. In particular, OSU Divest and SJP OSU are running a campaign to call on OSU to divest from Israeli Apartheid, and Ohio Youth for Climate Justice, CORS, and many individuals are resisting attempts by Zionists and OSU to crack down on them and they need your help!

We welcome anyone who wants to organize for Palestine on campus, including members of other student groups, to join us to discuss next steps for organizing.
