   Protestors, Palestinian Prisoners, and the Resistance

   What does the unjust arrest of a queer comrade protesting the genocide in Tokyo have to do with the imprisonment of Palestinians? How are the police and the IOF intertwined with other systems of power? Join us as we explore what it means to stand in solidarity with pro-Palestine protestors around the world who are facing police brutality and repression; what it means to stand in solidarity with the Palestinian prisoners, who currently face the most abhorrent forms of dehumanization within the settler colonial project; and what it means to stand in solidarity with the Palestinian resistance towards collective liberation. 虐殺に抗議するクィアの同志が東京で不当逮捕されたことと、パレスチナ人が投獄されていることはどのように結びついているのか？警察やイスラエル占領軍は他の権力構造とどう関係しているのか？警察の弾圧や暴力に直面している世界中の抗議者に連帯すること、入植者植民地支配の中でも極悪な形で非人間化されるパレスチナの囚人と連帯すること、そしてパレスチナの抵抗運動に連帯することがあらゆる人の解放にいかに繋がっているかを一緒に考えましょう。 References: Video of Harajuku 1 https://www.instagram.com/reel/C8ME5Zhp095/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== (https://www.instagram.com/reel/C8ME5Zhp095/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==) https://www.call4.jp/info.php?type=items&id=I0000094 (https://www.call4.jp/info.php?type=items&id=I0000094) https://www.hrw.org/news/2023/05/25/japan-hostage-justice-system-violates-rights (https://www.hrw.org/news/2023/05/25/japan-hostage-justice-system-violates-rights) https://www.trtworld.com/middle-east/how-israel-violates-international-law-to-detain-minors-under-military-law-16220205 (https://www.trtworld.com/middle-east/how-israel-violates-international-law-to-detain-minors-under-military-law-16220205) https://www.palestinechronicle.com/horrifying-treatment-thisis-how-israel-tortures-its-palestinian-hostages/ (https://www.palestinechronicle.com/horrifying-treatment-thisis-how-israel-tortures-its-palestinian-hostages/) https://edition.cnn.com/2024/06/05/middleeast/israel-top-court-sde-teiman-hearing-intl/index.html (https://edition.cnn.com/2024/06/05/middleeast/israel-top-court-sde-teiman-hearing-intl/index.html) https://thecradle.co/articles-id/25732 (https://thecradle.co/articles-id/25732) https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/gaza-israel-detainees-abuse-torture-sde-teiman-ofer (https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/gaza-israel-detainees-abuse-torture-sde-teiman-ofer) https://www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2024/feb/opinion-palestinian-prisoners-will-be-key-condition-any-ceasefire-deal-heres-why (https://www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2024/feb/opinion-palestinian-prisoners-will-be-key-condition-any-ceasefire-deal-heres-why) https://dawnmena.org/the-technology-of-occupation-has-become-one-of-israels-main-exports/ (https://dawnmena.org/the-technology-of-occupation-has-become-one-of-israels-main-exports/) https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/6/12/how-the-us-and-israel-exchange-tactics-in-violence-and-control (https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/6/12/how-the-us-and-israel-exchange-tactics-in-violence-and-control) https://www.vox.com/world-politics/2023/11/22/23972908/palestinian-prisoners-israel-administrative-detention (https://www.vox.com/world-politics/2023/11/22/23972908/palestinian-prisoners-israel-administrative-detention) https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/mde15/5141/2022/en/ (https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/mde15/5141/2022/en/) https://law4palestine.org/do-palestinians-have-the-right-to-resist-and-what-are-the-limits-short-article/ (https://law4palestine.org/do-palestinians-have-the-right-to-resist-and-what-are-the-limits-short-article/) https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2017/7/20/palestinians-have-a-legal-right-to-armed-struggle (https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2017/7/20/palestinians-have-a-legal-right-to-armed-struggle) Follow us @pkqueer on instagram ❤️🌶

   Homonationalism: Going Beyond Pinkwashing

   Recently, the term “pinkwashing” has garnered attention in the context of Israel’s continuous genocide of the Palestinian people. Join us as we delve into the conceptual framework of “homonationalism” in order to understand the foundation behind how queers are utilized within nationalist agendas. This longer episode pulls from entire books, like Puar’s influential 2007 work, “Terrorist Assemblages: Homonationalism in Queer Times,” which has not yet been translated into Japanese. It is not a comprehensive overview but, offers Pirikara Queer’s understanding of concepts like “homonormativity” and “homonationalism” to unpack the roots of queer politics! 最近「ピンクウォッシング」という用語は、イスラエルによるパレスチナ人の虐殺という文脈の中で注目を集めています。このエピソードでは、「ホモナショナリズム」という概念を掘り下げて、クィアがどのように国家主義的な目的に利用されるのか、その背後にある基盤と政治性を取り上げます。このちょっと長めの回では、日本語訳がまだ出版されていないプアの重要な著書『Terrorist Assemblages: Homonationalism in Queer Times』（2007年）など、情報量が多い本から引用しています。なので決して包括的なものではなく、ピリ辛クィアの視点を共有し、クィア・ポリティクスの根源を理解するために、「ホモノーマティヴィティー」「ホモナショナリズム」といった概念を読み解いていくものです! ---- References and Links 参考文献とリンク Emily Karasawa Grabil, “Liberation>Peace” Zine in Solidarity with Palestine (March, 2024) エミリー・カラサワ・グレイビル『解放＞平和』パレスチナと連帯を示すジン（2024年3月） https://www.emilykgportfolio.com/zine/on-pressure-and-performance-anxiety-bpzz9 (https://www.emilykgportfolio.com/zine/on-pressure-and-performance-anxiety-bpzz9) Huffpost Article https://www.huffingtonpost.jp/entry/story_jp_660a06d4e4b007c08f9dfb99 (https://www.huffingtonpost.jp/entry/story_jp_660a06d4e4b007c08f9dfb99) Tokyo Rainbow Pride https://tokyorainbowpride.com/ (https://tokyorainbowpride.com/) Duggan, Lisa.

   Stop the occupation of Palestine! Stop the genocide! Free Palestine! We are here to take a stand.

   Unpacking the New LGBT Law

   Last month, the Japanese Diet passed its first-ever law addressing sexual orientation and gender identity. However, this law that was supposed to be for “promoting understanding” has been criticized for actually limiting LGBTQ+ rights. In this emergency episode, we process and unpack this controversial law together. 先月日本で初めて性的指向やジェンダーアイデンティティーに関する法律が成立された。しかし実際はLGBTQ+の権利を制限する法律として批判されています。今回の緊急エピソードではこの賛否両論がある「LGBT理解増進法」について話していきます。 Follow us on IG: @pkqueer References: https://globe.asahi.com/article/14921218 (https://globe.asahi.com/article/14921218) https://www.outjapan.co.jp/pride_japan/news/2023/6/14.html (https://www.outjapan.co.jp/pride_japan/news/2023/6/14.html) https://news.yahoo.co.jp/byline/matsuokasoshi/20230619-00354384 (https://news.yahoo.co.jp/byline/matsuokasoshi/20230619-00354384) https://business.nikkei.com/atcl/gen/19/00081/050900551/#:~:text=LGBT理解増進法案（LGBT法案）とは、LGBT,は見送りとなった。 (https://business.nikkei.com/atcl/gen/19/00081/050900551/#:~:text=LGBT%E7%90%86%E8%A7%A3%E5%A2%97%E9%80%B2%E6%B3%95%E6%A1%88%EF%BC%88LGBT%E6%B3%95%E6%A1%88%EF%BC%89%E3%81%A8%E3%81%AF%E3%80%81LGBT,%E3%81%AF%E8%A6%8B%E9%80%81%E3%82%8A%E3%81%A8%E3%81%AA%E3%81%A3%E3%81%9F%E3%80%82) https://wan.or.jp/article/show/10665#gsc.tab=0 (https://wan.or.jp/article/show/10665#gsc.tab=0) Follow us @pkqueer on instagram ❤️🌶
