1948: Creation & Catastrophe is an important documentary, but I must admit feeling nauseated watching it, because the way that these criminals could treat other human beings like filth, and bring such immense shame to the Jewish people when they should have known better, nearly overwhelmed me.

I went walking by the wall — not from the main road but from the orchards. The bakery had a window from my side. The [Zionists] were inside the bakery. The [Arab] women were sitting on the ground and each one had her arms over her head like this. They [the Zionists] were telling the baker, his name was Hamed, “Throw your son into the oven. Throw your son into the oven.”

He replied, “I will not throw my son.” He told him “Grill him!” They hit Haj Hamed on his head and took the child and threw him into the oven. I saw this scene… I saw this scene and couldn’t find any more strength. Then they took the father and threw him after the son. They told him “follow your son.” I sat down and thought to myself, ”they are going to catch me,” so I started running.

[…]

Suddenly I saw those masses of people going through the checkpoints, which we were commanded to man. And they were searched — searched for valuables. That reminded me very much of the time when I was a child. We’re starting to do the same thing [that other] people have done to us as Jews.

Just stumbled upon this. It's very good, but not easy to watch.

Palestine

A community for everything related to Palestine and the occupation currently underway by the occupying force known as Israel.

Anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism. Existence is resistance for Palestinians.

Please refer to Israel as Occupied Palestine, or occupied territories. The IDF is a fascist and ethnonationalist occupying force. Israelis are settlers. We understand however that the imperial narrative (which tries to legitimise Israel) is internalised in the imperial core and slip-ups are naturally expected.

We always take the sides of Palestine and Palestinians and are unapologetic about it. Israel is an occupying power whose "defence force"'s (note the contradiction) sole purpose for existing is to push Palestinians out so they can resettle their rightful land. If you have anything positive to say about Israel we do not care.
