A letter from the orgainzing group to all queerupters

Our lovely queer friends,

Youre all probably aware of the shit thats going down in Israel/Palestine/Lebanon with Israels redoubled aggression: we ourselves are watching the events unfold with no little dread. Our weekly meeting, held yesterday (Sunday) under a thick cloud of panic and depression, however, ended with a unanimous decision to go on with the Queeruption as scheduled pending any event that would physically obstruct holding it. In case that happens, we will of course inform you, but for the time being we are adamant in going through with it.

Canceling your arrival is understandable, but we call on those undecided to join us in protesting this senseless violence. We need all the support we can get: come demonstrate with us against the inhuman aggression in Gaza and Lebanon and help us show that there is always a viable alternative! We reiterate here our solidarity with anyone affected from the ever mounting Israeli military aggression, be they in Gaza, Beirut or Haifa. This violence has to stop.

The one thing we would advise our friends abroad not to do is feed off the media for information on the situation here. You are all invited to email us with your questions, or better yet speak with one of us in person: Assaf, Dana and Lior are available to talk with anyone who wants to get a clearer picture of things. Their phone numbers are:

Assaf – 972-50-9227737
Dana – 972-54-4861184
Lior – 972-54-9986508

some questions about video camera and materials

do you think it`s problematic to go out from Israel/palestina with min Dv-Material?
a lot of people are doing it. some of them (espicially people who are sespected in solidarity work in the occupied teritories) get some problems with it at the air port. it's shouldn't be a big deal. you can also send it by mail to your country and save any problems.

is it problematic to film there without a press card?
no, it's not a problem, though sometime press card can help you.

could i make copies some where? is there the possibillity to edit the material somewhere? do you have an videocollective or people who could help?
it should be possible. you should check it with indymedia group or some individuals in the queeruption.

i will organise a paper from the artschool that says im on a artproject. do you think that can help?
yes. it might help.
