Introduction
Today, as the world witnesses the first live-streamed genocide, the Gaza Strip lies in ruins—its children maimed, starved, and left to die. The urgency to act has never been greater. And yet, the European Union won’t stop Israel, worse it remains complicit. The West, self-proclaimed as guardian of justice and democracy, has been exposed. Palestine is the mirror reflecting the profound moral bankruptcy of our global order. After nearly two years of relentless massacres, how do we end it? What more will it take for Palestinians to achieve freedom, dignity and self-determination?
Synopsis
In Selfies, Reema Mahmoud, a displaced woman in Gaza, shares her struggles during the war through a letter in a bottle in which she talks about the beautiful life she once had. She hopes her message will inspire people to appreciate their lives and cherish peace.

It’s not complicated : statement
On September 23rd, the Israeli Government ordered the closure of the crossing between the occupied West Bank and Jordan.
This crossing is the only exit and entry point for Palestinians wishing to travel.
As a result, our main speaker, Mariam Barghouti, is currently unable to leave and we do not know when she will be able to travel again.
Given this uncertainty, we see no other option but to postpone the event.
We will keep you updated as soon as we have clearer news and a possible new date.
Thank you for your understanding and solidarity.
