A pure homemade movie/documentary[nominated for 2013 Oscars] of a Palestinian peasant, Emad, mostly recorded by himself over 7 years. This movie features the resistance of Bi'lin village against the construction of buildings by Israel on their Olive-cultivated land in particular and the family of Emad in general.

The following document pertaining to the formation of “Greater Israel” constitutes the cornerstone of powerful Zionist factions within the current Netanyahu government, the Likud party, as well as within the Israeli military and intelligence establishment. Link to original article below. http://www.4thmedia.org/2013/10/19/greater-israel-the-zionist-plan-for-the-middle-east/ Our harsh logic - Israeli soldiers testimonies from the occupied Palestinian territories.22/10/2013 Israeli soldiers speak out for the first time about the truth of the Palestinian occupation, in "one of the most important books on Israel/Palestine in this generation" (The New York Review of Books) The very name of the Israel Defense Forces—which many Israelis speak of as "the most moral army in the world"—suggests that its primary mission is the defense of the country's territory. Indeed, both internationally and within Israel, support for the occupation of Palestinian territory rests on the belief that the army's actions and presence in the West Bank and Gaza are essentially defensive and responsive, aimed at protecting the country from terror. But Israeli soldiers themselves tell a profoundly different story. In this landmark work, which includes hundreds of soldiers' testimonies collected over a decade, what emerges is a broad policy that is anything but defensive. In their own words, the soldiers reveal in human and vivid detail how the key planks of the army's ostensibly protective program—"prevention of terror," "separation of populations," "preservation of the fabric of life," and "law enforcement"—have in fact served to accelerate acquisition of Palestinian land, cripple all normal political and social life, and ultimately thwart the possibility of independence. http://www.amazon.com/Our-Harsh-Logic-Testimonies-ebook/dp/B0080K3FE0/ref=tmm_kin_title_0/176-1755350-1435447 http://occupiedpalestine.wordpress.com/special-topics/colonialism-ethnic-cleansing/ I urge everyone to watch this 10 min film. Is Israel the most racist & hateful country on the planet? No need to argue - the answer is clear. A movie based on accounts from British soldiers on events between 1946-48. http://www.channel4.com/programmes/the-promise/4od |
