After heartfelt showings at the Totnes Fringe and Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Welcome to Gaza is heading to London Palestine House. These aren’t just plays. They’re a raw and brave expression of life under siege, told by the children who live it. Featuring a unique blend of drama, and real-time verbatim messages from Gaza (before and after October 7, 2023), this performance gives space to voices too often unheard. Directed by Peter Oswald and performed by a group of incredible Palestinian talents, Welcome to Gaza is a rare chance to connect with the resilience and creativity of Palestinians. https://www.tickettailor.com/events/palestinehouse/1794023 Put Your Soul On Your Hand And Walk (film) Wednesday 20 August – UK Premiere Edinburgh Film Festival From Friday 22 August – in cinemas For a year, filmmaker Sepideh Farsi recorded her video calls with photojournalist Fatma Hassona, creating a vivid and haunting video testimony of her daily life in Gaza. Through the faltering intimacy of the phone screen, a strong bond develops between the two women, and Fatma’s unfailing resilience creates a powerful contrast to the ongoing devastation and destruction around her. Combining their video calls with Fatma’s arresting images of Gaza, Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk is a testament to this talented photographer, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike days after the film’s completion. https://releasing.dogwoof.com/put-your-soul-on-your-hand-and-walk Official trailer: https://youtu.be/9yaSKI1wc-M Detained, Tortured, Disappeared: The Israeli military’s targeting of Palestinian children Source: Defense for Children International – Palestine Date: Tuesday 26 August at 5pm (UK time) Israel is the only country in the world that systematically detains, tortures, prosecutes, and imprisons children in a military detention system. Around 500 to 700 Palestinian children are targeted by this system each year, and the brutal abuse they face by Israeli forces has severely intensified since October 7, 2023. Now, Israeli forces are detaining, torturing, and disappearing Palestinian children from Gaza, with no accountability. This webinar will train attendees on the basics of Israel’s military detention system and how it targets Palestinian children to exert control over the Palestinian people. Attendees will hear directly from Defense for Children International – Palestine about the hurdles faced by lawyers trying to provide legal aid for child detainees. This training will also include actions to take in support of Palestinian child detainees from the United States, United Kingdom, and other places around the world. https://www.dci-palestine.org/detained_tortured_disappeared_20250826 BOYCOTT, DIVESTMENT AND SANCTIONS (BDS)A founding aim of the UK-Palestine Mental Health Network is to “encourage our colleagues individually and collectively to consider their response to the Palestinian call for boycott, sanctions and divestment (BDS).” Cumberland Council commits to divest from companies enabling Israel’s crimes Cumberland Council has declared that it will end financial ties with companies supplying weapons to Israel, and those active in Israel’s illegal settlements. The council will also call on Cumbria Pension Fund to similarly divest. Cumbria Pension Fund must immediately heed this call, and commit to begin to divest the £74million+ it has invested in companies facilitating Israel’s atrocities against Palestinians. This win is testament to the tireless campaigning of Carlisle & District PSC. Cumberland Council is the 17th council in Britain to support divestment from companies enabling Israel’s genocide against Palestinians.
