Rafah - ALBB Is Stunned And Can Only Post About Palestine Until This Stops And Palestine Is Free From Israeli and US Occupation
/
Last Sunday was a pleasant day in the Hudson Valley. Plenty of people enjoyed it outside for Memorial Day. Splash Down opened, and all felt right. Upon returning from the Lazy River, ALBB read, watched, and absorbed the news that Rafah (the Israeli designated "safe zone" in Palestine that 1.5 million people were seeking refuge in (BBC) and lived in tents) was burning, and burning people alive. Children's heads were decapitated. Palestinian people pulled charred bodies to dignity of any sort (videos below).
This witnessing cured ALBB of any hesitation we have been harboring about bringing our Palestinian advocacy publishing to the blog. Versus just being at ALBB’s Instagram, where it has been mainly. And by “Palestinian advocacy,” we mean a Free Palestine, which means an end to Israeli and US occupation of Palestine, and and end to the many genocides and occupations happening at the hands of some in power in the United States. Those who haven’t resigned yet.
Pretty much, anything published at ALBB will be about this genocide. Here in this post, we will include pictures of the horrific killings of Palestinians that Israel is committing with the full knowledge and blessing of the United States (listen to Nikki Haley’s spoken gratitude here) that was originally posted at our Instagram.
Created and posted by the Palestinan artist @malik_qraiqea : “The Zionist occupation army committed a massacre in Rafah tonight, burning people alive while they were sleeping in their tents. A real holocaust occurred in Rafah tonight. People were charred and dismembered, including children and women. A true genocide, a holocaust, a holocaust. The images are horrifying, and the scenes are brutal.”
Two Encouragement Videos On How/Why To Break Your Instagram For Palestine
After witnessing those decapitations and charred bodies of Palestinians at the hands of Israel in Instagram, Katie made some videos for you. To ease you in to posting for Palestine if you haven’t started yet. One of the ways to stop this is if we all break our Instagrams and include this heinous imegry, as people will have nowhere else to look.

Hudson Valley Activists Drop Banners Demanding U.S. and NYS Divestment From Israel’s War Crimes
/
Early Wednesday morning (5/29/2024), a group of local Hudson Valley activists hung banners on four I-87 overpasses visible to northbound traffic. The banners call for the end of U.S. and NYS funding of Israel war crimes in Gaza, and bring attention to the slaughter of displaced civilians currently ongoing in Rafah by the U.S. funded Israeli military.
The banner that hung south of Newburgh read: “Permanent Ceasefire.” For Kingston, the banner read: “Divest From Genocide.” For Saugerties, the banner read: “Let Gaza Live.” For Leeds, the banner read: “Free Palestine.”
Over the last several days, the Israeli military invaded Rafah, a designated “safe zone”, and carried out massacres by bombing displaced families in tents, killing dozens of people, according to AlJazeera and other news outlets. The death toll is still rising.
American citizens have been pleading with their elected officials to stop voting for more military aid to Israel for over 8 months, and to support a permanent ceasefire in Gaza. Yet, elected officials have continuously refused to listen to their constituents. “We call upon every decent human being to demand an end to U.S. military and financial support that has enabled the total dehumanization and genocide of the Palestinian people. As Jews, we are horrified by Israel’s brutality and total disregard for human life. We say 'Never Again is Now! Enough!' said two activists who are senior citizens of Beacon, NY.
"The massacre of civilians across Gaza, and now in Rafah, is a direct result of the Biden administration and Congress’ continued political and military support for Israel’s genocide in Gaza," say the activists. "Now is time for the U.S. to stop funding Israel’s genocidal campaign and to place an arms embargo against Israel in accordance with U.S. and international law, to end U.S. complicity with war crimes."
The activists pledge to continue demonstrating in different ways. "Hudson Valley residents will keep organizing to demand a permanent ceasefire, an end to the immediate horrors devastating Gaza, funded by U.S. taxpayers, and to end the occupation. We urge every person of conscience to join our demands to stop the genocide in Gaza and free Palestine.

Coming To A Library Near You: The Erased History Of The Peekskill Riots And Paul Robeson
/
The 5-part docu-series, “The Peekskill Riots” is a must-see event and movie-hunt. Made by filmmaker Jon Scott Bennett, this documentary explores local hidden history. According to the film’s website: “On August 27 and September 4th, 1949, violence broke out at two concerts held outside Peekskill, NY, headlined by Black singer, actor, and activist Paul Robeson. Citizens of Peekskill, galvanized by racist and anti-Semitic sentiments and disdain for Robeson’s left-wing views and campaign for civil rights, started two riots that resulted in hundreds of injuries, made national news, and unofficially marked the beginning of the McCarthy era, which would nearly erase Robeson from the public consciousness. Who was he? What did he do? What did he stand for? These questions must be answered in order to understand what brought him to Peekskill.

The Peekskill Riots is a major event involving violence and blacklisting, but is a hidden incident that is not mentioned, for example, in the Peekskill Museum. Should a news outlet cover it, said the filmmaker Jon Scott Bennett during his first screening at Beacon’s Howland Public Library, someone from the Peekskill Museum has been known to have allegedly written letters to that media outlet to ask them to shush about it. Being that A Little Beacon Blog is used to this letter-writing treatment by now, we will publish with gusto!
And we thought the Beacon riots of 1977 were bad (they resulted in the community coming together for Spirit of Beacon Day). After learning about The Peekskill Riots of 1949, involving a concert where 20,000 attended, several of whom were Jewish who had come up to the Hudson Valley to summer, who ended up being beaten by fellow white people, some who identified as Klu Klux Clan Members and “anti-Communist members of local Veterans of Foreign Wars and American Legion chapters,” according to Wikipedia. Jon Scott Bennett’s film exploring this is much more researched than that, but this gives you a taste. Makes one wonder…was the Spirit of Beacon Day a facade? To quickly and quietly shush everyone in 1977, after the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s, and after the violent Peeksill Riots in 1949? It’s an event that is not taught or mentioned locally.
This invisibility of a huge event is what bothered filmmaker Jon Scott Bennett. A self described history enthusiast who was raised in the area, he was bothered that it took him until college to learn about the Peekskill Riots. And so began his quest and extreme deep dive into the Peekskill Riots, and the Afro-American man who it erased: Paul Robeson (here is Wikipedia, and here is PBS, but, PBS calls his devotion to fighting for equality for Black people “radical political beliefs,” so proceed with a critical eye).
The documentary is broken up into 5 parts. Filmmaker Jon calls them “episodes,” even though they are hugely in-depth. After the screening, an audience member asked if PBS and others had shown interest. Jon answered that he wants “freedom to express the message first. I want to focus on getting it into the heart of Peekskill first.” Episodes 1 and 2 are complete, and Episode 3 is nearly finished.
That’s why he is starting with the library circuit. The first screening was in Beacon. The second screening on June 8, 2024 will be near the scene of the crime, at the Peekskill Library.
The episodes Are about:
1: “The Mighty Oak In The Forest”
Introducing Paul Robeson. This builds him up so that you understand who he is by the time of the riots. To understand the significance of the loss of Paul Robeson.
This first episode of a 5-part docu-series serves not only as an introduction to the story of the concerts, but also introduces the headlining performer, Paul Robeson, the first and last casualty of The Peekskill Riots.
2: “The Friendly Town By The River”
The filmmaker wanted to next contextualize characterization of Peekskill as its own character. “To understand Peekskill during the Riots, we must first understand the forgotten past of the ‘Friendly Town’ by the River. The culture of hatred strengthened by the Ku Klux Klan shaped Peekskill for decades, while the working class, Jewish summer colonies of the region provided an opportunity for a progressive culture to blossom in the Hudson Valley. This second episode displays the duality of Peekskill’s long-lost history to contextualize the atmosphere of hate and those who would become victim to it.”
3: The Two Riots. This episode will lead up to the 2nd concert, which 20,00-30,000 people come out to support.
4: The Riot After The Second Concert.
5: The Aftermath. The Investigation. The social death contributing to literal death of Paul Robeson, according to the filmmaker.
Who Was Paul Robeson
Photo Credit: JonScottBennett.com
Paul Robeson was self described Afro-American man who was American bass-baritone concert artist, actor, professional football player, and activist who became famous both for his cultural accomplishments and for his political stances,” as described by Wikipedia. “His father, William, was of Igbo origin and was born into slavery. William escaped from a plantation in his teens and eventually became the minister of Princeton's Witherspoon Street Presbyterian Church in 1881.” During the film, we learn that he was forced out of that church.
Paul knew 11 languages, was valedictorian of his college class, and played professional football. After being racially ostracized from the legal profession soon after he entered it, despite winning his college’s oratorical contest 4 years in a row, his wife and consistent supporter of his theatrical talents encouraged him to pursue them professionally, which he eventually did. Bringing him to Peekskill for this concert in September of 1949 (Palestine had just gone through its first Nakba in 1947 when Israel was declared a state with the United State’s blessing over the land of Palestine).

The late local activist and celebrity Pete Seeger’s was also involved in the Peekskill Riots. The filmmaker will have you know very quickly that after the violent riot in Peekskill, where Klan members dragged some people from their cars and bashed their car windows while police stood by and a helicopter hovered over-head, Pete Seeger and Paul Robeson were both blacklisted as Communists. Pete Seeger, says the filmmaker, was unknown then, and was the opening act for Paul.
While Pete Seeger endured violence that night with a brick being through through the window of his car, he bounced back professionally. But Paul Robeson never got that chance to come back. Pete Seeger’s “Hold The Line” song was about the Peekskill Riots, says filmmaker Jon. “Reasons why Pete Seeger got his second wind, and Robeson didn’t, is another conversation,” Jon told the audience at the Beacon library. Jon’s mission is to tell the Robeson story, to breathe wind into his legacy.
Paul’s passport was taken by the United States government, making him unable to travel for singing work. He was stricken from the College Football All-American roster as part of his punishment for his activism for equality for Black lives. At his hearing, he refused to answer if he was a Communist, and responded: “I am not being tried for whether I am a Communist. I am being tried for fighting for the rights of my people, who are still second-class citizens in this United States of America,” according to the Zinn Education Project. He was inducted posthumously into the Rutgers College Football Hall of Fame in 1995. By the time Paul got his passport back from the federal government years later, Robeson’s mental and physical health were deteriorating, said the filmmaker.
But where Pete Seeger got a second chance and a come-back, Paul Robeson did not, for all of his major accomplishments, Jon told the Beacon audience. Paul Robeson was wiped from history, as the Peekskill Riots attempted to be. The mission of the filmmaker became to resurrect Paul Robeson’s life and legacy with this docu-series. “When the riots happened,” Jon told the Beacon audience, “Robeson and the victims (Jewish attendees) were blamed. After that, that was the excuse to blacklist and erase them.”

Scenes From "There She Goes" Filmed In Beacon On Main Street From Inside Notions N Potions
/
It was a rainy Thursday afternoon for the filming of the movie “There She Goes,” starring Rachael Leigh Cook (“She’s All That”) and Utkarsh Ambudkar (“Pitch Perfect” and "Ghosts"). At 11am-ish, part of Main Street closed down from Luxe Optique to Bank Square. People could walk down the sidewalk, but it was clear there was a movie filming on one side of the sidewalk. It wasn’t clear if people could shop or not, so many just stopped and stared.
The door was open at Notions N Potions, and owner Sheryl Glickman was standing outside, also watching. A Little Beacon Blog hopped over to say hello. There were two background actors (extras) placed in her doorway, and rumblings on set were that they were getting close to filming. Everyone was getting into their places. So, Sheryl and this blogger sat in Shery’s tarot card reading chairs in her front window to watch the scene unfold.
In the first video, the “walk and talk” rolled by with Rachael and Utkarsh walking and talking to each other, in a build up of a heated moment. Next thing we knew, the actors were headed back down the sidewalk, this time, throwing ice at each other from their drinks! Much to our surprise, the actors actually ducked into Notions N Potions in an unscripted moment. Watch that in the third video. All videos are below.
“There She Goes” Filming In Beacon From Choice Films - Producers of “Poker Face”
/
UPDATE: Watch scenes being filmed here.
Filming for “There She Goes,” starring Rachael Leigh Cook (“She’s All That”) and Utkarsh Ambudkar (“Pitch Perfect”) from Choice Films happens on Main Street in Beacon, NY between Utensil (143 Main Street) and Digger Phelps Court (M&T Bank) today, Thursday, May 16th, 2024, for today. For interior scenes, the film is using the stages at Umbra in Newburgh. The City of Beacon posted a notice that this round will be for today only, and does involve parking closures and some street blockage. The area between South Avenue and Cliff Street will have intermittent closures to vehicle traffic between 12pm-6pm, according to the City’s announcement.
Choice Films is a regular in Beacon, with filming of “Pokerface” in town (yesss, “in town,” we know Beacon is a city, get over it) and “I Know This Much Is True” (Mark Ruffalo), which filmed at All Sport over the summer of 2019.
Rachel Leigh Cook, in a preview for “A Tourists Guide To Love”
According to IMDB, the plot is “under wraps.” According to the street, this movie will be a romantic comedy. Already, local businesses have been frequented, with purchases of ice at Key Food and film rental equipment from CineHub.
While the trucks are parked in Beacon’s free municipal lot, right next to Beacon Bread, who knows who else will feel an economic lift from the filming. Film crew should visit A Little Beacon Blog’s Restaurant, Shopping, and Beauty Guides for the list of all of the places to go for their needs.
The City of Beacon usually gets a film permit fee, and there may be police overtime charged to the production company. From time to time, City Administrator Chris White will reveal how these fees are spent back onto the City of Beacon. He should feel free to comment at any time on where this film permit will be going. However, since he has a “No Comment” policy for A Little Beacon Blog for himself and every single department head employed by the City of Beacon, we will just have to wait for him to drop a crumb at a City Council Meeting.
Click to listen to Utkarsh Ambudkar on PBS News Hour “Utkarsh Ambudkar's Brief But Spectacular Take On Avoiding Ethnic Stereotypes” .
Fans of “Pitch Perfect” will be delighted to watch the rapper/actor Utkarsh Ambudkar on screen. It is unknown at this time where the scene will take place, or which actors will be in Beacon. For now, fans can watch Utkarsh on PBS News Hour “Utkarsh Ambudkar's Brief But Spectacular Take On Avoiding Ethnic Stereotypes” talk about how he avoids ethnic stereotyping in roles he accepts, and lines he agrees or disagrees to say in auditions.
From the video interview, Utkarsh said:
“So I have been in auditions where they wrote a line in their show about an Indian teacher with a strong accent saying that he would sell 10 goats to get a woman like that in his classroom.”
“So this is offensive. And I told my manager, no, there's no way I'm going to do this.”
“My manager said, OK, go in. You can put your own spin on it. They're fine.”
“So I go and I do my no accent and my improv.”
“He said, ‘Can you just do it the way that I wrote it’"
"‘You want me to do it the way you wrote it, like, even this line about the goats?’"
“The sauce on what I said was so thick that there was only one interpretation to take from it. And that's not how you do business and it's not how we should communicate with each other.”
“In any case, that's my responsibility, but his responsibility is to not write a piece of (EXPLETIVE DELETED) that's offensive, right?”
“Now, when I walk into a room -- and it just happened on ‘Mulan.’ I just went and did this Disney movie, and there were some challenges with sort of the way that our ethnicities were being portrayed.”
“And I was able to go into the room with Disney. I mean, it's a giant conglomerate. And the script was changed and moved around and built and enhanced to sort of speak to some of the concerns that we had.”
A March, Storytelling and Poetry Commemoration For Nakba 1948 Happening May 15th From Train Station to Pohill Park
/
The Beacon Ceasefire Coalition has organized a march to commemorate the 1948 Nakba of Palestine. According to Wikipedia: “The Nakba (Arabic: النَّكْبَة an-Nakba, lit. 'the catastrophe') was the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in Mandatory Palestine during the 1948 Palestine war through their violent displacement and dispossession of land, property, and belongings, along with the destruction of their society, culture, identity, political rights, and national aspirations. The term is also used to describe the ongoing persecution and displacement of Palestinians by Israel. As a whole, it covers the fracturing of Palestinian society and the long-running rejection of the right of return for Palestinian refugees and their descendants.” Israel celebrates this time as “Israeli Independence Day,” which began their sanctioned occupation of Palestine.
Locally, the Palestinian restaurant, Ziatun, is historically closed on this day.
Says the Beacon Ceasefire Coalition press release: “We will have storytellers, poetry, and community to remember the catastrophe that expelled over 760,000 Palestinians, wiped out 531 villages, and killed 15,000 Palestinians. The Nakba resulted in over 7 million present-day refugees and a global Palestinian diaspora. We welcome the Hudson Valley community to honor this day with us, and to march before sharing tea, stories and healing in the park followed by a candlelight vigil.”
*Marchers will meet at 4:45 PM on the river side of the Beacon Train Station (near the Sloop Club - 2 Red Flynn Drive, Beacon) before marching together to Polhill Park (access details below)
*Those who prefer to not march may meet us directly at Polhill Park at 5PM (Main St & South Ave, Beacon)
*Event is fully outdoors & rain or shine so please bring rain gear and other comforts as needed
