1. BREAKING: Amnesty International (@amnesty) has found that Israel maintains an institutionalised regime of oppression and domination of the Palestinian people which amounts to the crime of apartheid under international law.

[Oum Bukra @OumBukra]

Arye Mekel of Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs to reporters in 2009: "We will send well-known novelists and writers overseas, theatre companies, exhibits. This way you show Israel’s prettier face, so we are not thought of purely in the context of war.” #BoycottSydneyFestival

[+972 Magazine @972mag]

'Opposing settler colonialism here in Australia but embracing it elsewhere exposes a shallow understanding of how these systems of subjugation and segregation are interconnected,' writes @SaraSalehOz.

This is the Salhiya family facing eviction NOW & defending their home from Israel's occupation forces: forcible eviction is a #warcrime. These plans & policies carried by the #apartheid regime also amount to the #CAH of #apartheid & #persecution. @KarimKhanQC #SaveSheikhJarrah

[Jennine K @jennineak]

All eyes on Sheikh Jarrah right now, Australia. This is what was happening in May last year – while Gaza was being bombed by occupation forces – when @sydney_festival sought the partnership and funding of the Israeli apartheid regime.

This is ethnic cleansing. #SaveSheikhJarrah

“You can’t separate art from politics. As a festival that invites refugee stories, First Nation stories, that tries to tick the boxes of diversity, if you have a festival that doesn’t want to be political ... then don’t have our stories.” – Maissa Alameddine, Arab Theatre Studio

“We come from backgrounds that know what it means to be under occupation. We knew that we wouldn’t go ahead the minute we saw this information.” – Maissa Alameddine, Arab Theatre Studio #abc730

🚨💔 I have decided to withdraw & cancel my performance at Sydney Festival. Here is my statement. #SydneyFestival

[Jennine K @jennineak]

The West Ball 3 production has withdrawn from @sydney_festival. "We must stand with our Palestinian brothers and sisters in the face of art-washing war crimes by the Israeli state." The show will happen later this year. #sydneyfestival #boycottsydfest

I’m withdrawing from Sydney Festival. As artists, we cannot stay silent in the face of Israel’s crimes of apartheid and ethnic cleansing, in this case shrouded as artwashing. I stand with Palestine always.

[Jennine K @jennineak]

Deepa withdraws from the @sydney_festival. Thank you to the many artists for their unwavering solidarity and moral courage. #SydneyFestival

[Palestine Justice Movement @PalestineRising]

Congratulations and thanks to Deepa, latest withdrawal from @sydney_festival. On the right side of history, opposing apartheid.

[Arab Theatre Studio @ArabiStudio]

@sydney_festival has refused artist calls to divest its Star Partnership with the Israeli Embassy and end all relations with the apartheid state.
As artists we will not be silent. #boycottsydfest #sydneyfestival

[Amy McQuire @amymcquire]

Thank you @yumichild for standing on the right side of history
