STANDING & SPEAKING UP FOR GAZA🕊️🇵🇸🫶🏻
20 Monate.
20 Monate Zusehen. Zuhören. Bezeugen.
20 Monate Schweigen.
Mit Deutschen Waffen und Deutscher Politik werden nach wie vor Menschenrechte gebrochen.
Lassen zu viele Menschen in Deutschland schweigend zu, dass mit unseren Steuergeldern Menschen getötet, verstümmelt, verletzt und ausgehungert werden. Egal ob es sich um Journalist:innen, Helfer:innen, Ärzt:innen, Neugeborene, Kinder, Jugendliche, Erwachsene oder alte Menschen handelt.
ES. REICHT.
Wir schweigen nicht zu Völkermord, Vertreibung und Unterdrückung.
Wir fordern die Einhaltung des Völkerrechts und ein Ende der Deutschen Legitimation und Unterstützung des Genozids in Gaza durch bedingungslose Staatsräson und Rüstungsexporte.
@bundeskanzler@merzcdu@aussenminister@bundesregierung
Wir fordern die Deutsche Regierung zu Taten auf: Sanktionen für Israel. Ein absolutes Waffenembargo. Eine sofortige Öffnung der Grenzen für Hilfslieferungen, um die noch lebende Bevölkerung in Gaza vor dem drohenden Hungertod zu bewahren. Unterstützung und Sicherheit für medizinische Hilfskräfte vor Ort.
Unsere Solidarität gilt Palästinenser:innen und Friedens-Aktivist:innen weltweit.
Den Menschen, die vor Ort unablässig und unter Lebensgefahr Hilfe leisten.
Den vielen Freiwilligen und Mutigen, die aufstehen und ua. die @gazafreedomflotilla und den @globalmarchtogaza umsetzen und supporten.
Wir sind viele! In Wahrheit sind wir noch so viele mehr. DANKE AN JEDE EINZELNE STIMME 🙏🏻🌱♥️
Wir danken außerdem @oxfam.be für den Impuls und hoffen, dies möge sich wie ein Lauffeuer der Hoffnung verbreiten.
Wenn auch Du Gesicht zeigen willst für Menschlichkeit, Gerechtigkeit, Frieden & Freiheit für alle Menschen, sende eine Nachricht an @women_for_liberation 💞
NEVER AGAIN IST NOW!

HOT POTATO by @candicebreitz@kowberlin opens tonight at 6pm, come and join us!
For the first 3 days of the exhibition Candice will be staging a live performance titled Private Dancer. The exhibition will run until June 27.
"As calls to untether art from politics proliferate in Germany and beyond, Hot Potato traces the historically fraught relationship between artists and the authorities that preside over them - by means of appropriative homages."
Deeply grateful that I got the opportunity to join Candice´s film Dear Esther, a 45min homage to the late great musician and antifascist activist Esther Bejerano, which will be shown at the exhibition.
A series of Appropriated Posters will be available throughout the exhibition as well. All income generated from sales will be donated to Medico´s International emergency fund for communities facing devastation in Gaza and the West Bank 🇵🇸❤️. Thank you for joining us and your contribution.
Do you have questions about film funding, networking/festivals, or audience design (the creative process of finding your audience)?
If you want to understand how the film industry really works — how to finance your film, get into A-list festivals, build sustainable connections through authentic networking, deal with setbacks and rejection, find your audience, and position yourself and your project or career with clarity, precision, and a long-term vision…
then Birgit “Bee” Stauber is the perfect mentor for you.
Birgit is a Vienna-born, Berlin-based filmmaker, actress, and founder of the production company LEYENDAS, where she develops and produces projects across film, theater, literature, and music.
She studied musical theater and directing (Master of Arts, University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna) and later moved to Los Angeles to study film acting with Eric Morris.
Her career spans over three decades — from working in front of the camera (60+ roles since 1996) to developing and producing stories from the inside out.
Her first feature film Freak City (producer, writer, actress), supported by the Wim Wenders Scholarship, premiered at the Hof International Film Festival. It remains a deeply personal project, known for its emotional honesty and inclusive storytelling about the relationship between a hearing boy and a deaf girl.
Other award-winning works include the web series Another Day in Paradise and Wind On Your Skin, filmed in Namibia.
As an actress, she became widely known across Europe for her lead role as “Raven” in the action-comedy series Wild Angels.
Through her work both in front of and behind the camera — as well as her experience with the Torino Film Lab, serving on the International Emmy Awards jury, and years of navigating international festivals such as the Festival de Cannes — she has developed a deep understanding of the creative, entrepreneurial, and human sides of the industry.

Not Born To Die (2025)
Alternative lyrics by Birgit Stauber due to the devastating situation of the Palestinians in Gaza.
Piano Version by Sing2Piano
Recorded by Dominik Wirth
Edited by Birgit Stauber
Original Version by Lana del Rey & Justin Parker (2012)
Alternative Lyrics:
Feet don‘t fail them now
Take them to the finish line
Oh my heart it breaks
Every step that they take
But I‘m hoping at the gates
They‘ll tell us that they‘re fine
Walking through the city streets
This is no mistake but design
They feel left alone every other night
How can we save all their homes
Leaving no one behind
We need an arms embargo
You make us sad, you make us cry
Sometimes love is not enough and the road gets tough, we do know why
You‘re making us see, let‘s go get loud
The road is long, we carry on
No need for fun in the meantime
Come and take a walk on the wild side
Life is getting hard in the pouring rain
This killing is insane
Choose your last words, this is the last time
'Cause Falasteens aren‘t born to die
Lost but now we‘re found
I can see that once we were blind
I was so confused as a grown up child
Tried to take what we could get
Scared that one day we‘ll find all the answers
You make us sad, you make us cry
Sometimes love should be enough
And the road is tough, we do know why
You‘re making us feel, let’s go get loud
The road is long, we carry on
Let’s scream and shout in the meantime
Come and take a walk on the wild side
Life is getting hard in the pouring rain
This bombing is insane
Choose your last words, this is the last time
'Cause Falasteens are not born to die
They were not born to die
They are not born to die
Come and take a walk on the wild side
Life is f***ing hard in the pouring rain
G*n*c*d*e is insane
You made us sad, you made us cry
Sometimes love will be enough
And the road is tough, we do know why
You‘re making us love, let’s go! We’re loud!
The road is long, we carry on
Let’s sing and dance in the meantime
Come and join our walk on the wild side
Life is f***ing hard in the pouring rain
G*n*c*d* is insane
Choose your last words, this is the last time
'Cause Falasteens
They are not born to die
