Killarney for Palestine welcomed over 120 people to The Brehon on Sunday evening for the Kerry premiere of the Oscar-nominated film, The Voice of Hind Rajab.

The event served as a fundraiser and an important experience for the local community, highlighting the story of the five-year-old child killed in Gaza.
The evening raised over €2,000 in donations. These funds will be sent via mutual aid directly to five families in Gaza and to The Hind Rajab Foundation.
The film’s director, Kaouther Ben Hania, recently made headlines at the Berlin International Film Festival by declining the “Most Valuable Film” award at the “Cinema for Peace” gathering. Addressing the audience, she explained her decision to leave the trophy behind as a reminder of the lack of accountability for the deaths of Hind Rajab, her family, and the paramedics sent to save her.
“Peace requires justice and accountability, not glossy slogans,” Ben Hania stated, adding she would only accept such awards when peace is rooted in moral and legal obligations.
Killarney for Palestine holds regular updates on their social media pages and invites the public to join their monthly vigil at the Killarney Courthouse, held at 12 p.m. on the last Sunday of every month.
