If you see only one thing today, this video is a must:

‘The Unrecognized‘ is a short documentary which highlights the plight of Palestinian Arab Bedouin citizens of Israel living in the Naqab (Negev) desert, many of whom were forced off their lands following the establishment of the state in 1948.

Approximately 70,000 now live in the poverty of ‘unrecognized villages’, where they are denied essential public services and face fundamental human rights violations due to institutionalized discrimination.

The short documentary is available for download from here (Subtitled in English, Subtitled in Hebrew and Subtitled in Arabic).

Also to embed the video in you blog/website, grab the code from my video channel here. Alternatively, I uploaded the same to Google video and you can get here!

    Shukran Haitham, I posted it too. And at first I didn’t think I could actually imbed the video (haven’t figured out Google video embedding yet) but by just copying and pasting from above it showed up embedded. Don’t know how it worked, but it did!

    Tslam 7abibi…

    This is where I work 50% of the time: In the development towns and I’m happy people have the opportunity to see the reality through such a video.

    That’s Amal Al-Sane’ that featured significantly in the video: She is a talented, very smart, extremely dedicated, committed, excellent woman - she is a winner all around and just being around her you can feel her passion for what she does. Allah y6awil 3mrha…

    Nasrawi ‘Regi’

    Hahahaha…
