QUIT! Actions and Events
 Israeli
Government Out of Our Film Festival!
Last year, for the first time
since 2007, Frameline, presenter of the San Francisco International
LGBT Film Festival, accepted sponsorship
from the Israeli Consulate. This
year, despite a highly organized campaign
by a broad coalition of queer
organizations, they caved in to consulate
threats to brand them as
"anti-Jewish" and accepted
Israeli money once more. We are
not so desperate for acceptance that we
will ally ourselves with racists and
murderers.
Call
Frameline on Wednesday, June 1.
Picket opening night
Friday June 17, 5:30 p.m.
Castro Theater, San Francisco

Palestinian Queers
Call for Boycott of Israel
In February,
speakers from ASWAT - Palestinian Gay
Women, al Qaws for Sexual and Gender
Diversity in Palestine, and Palestinian
Queers for BDS spoke to over 700 people in
San Francisco and Berkeley, as part of a
highly successful national tour.
They talked about how harmful "pinkwashing"
- the Zionist efforts to portray Israel as
the only queer-friendly democracy in the
Middle East, is to their struggle for
equality and recognition.
After the tour,
Palestinian Queers for BDS issued an open
letter asking all queer institutions
to decline invitations to visit Israel or
partner with mainstream Israeli
institutions.
