Occupation 101…

If you have a heart, I challenge you to hold your tears and anger while and after you see this thought-provoking and powerful documentary film on the current and historical root causes of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

I have just returned from a two week trip to Israel and Palestine. We spent a night with the family in the film which had their house demolishd twice, the mother beat up and the father jailed. The film does not mention that his father lives across the road and the settlers have taken away most of te best of his land and are trying to drive him out. The villages in south Hebron hills are suffering similar fate.
The Palestinian children on their way to school are periodically attacked by Jewish settlers. Beduins also have been forcefully removed from their ancestoral lands. The night we spent in Deheisha refugee camp in Bethlehem, undercover Israeli soldiers ambushed and executed 4 Palestinians on the street of Bethlehem. There are 580 checkpoints in West Bank and 190 Jewish settlements which have their own roads on which Palestinians are not allowed. Thank you for the video. Michael

Thank you Linda for noting this. It looks that the hosting server is out of service, this is why it can’t be viewed. Non the less, the video is still available on YouTube in ten parts. I’ll update the post above as such.

The Occupation 101 video trailer is on Youtube. The attached link no longer works. I am Canadian and abhor what the US and their Zionists backers are doing in the world… moving toward world dominance and in particular seizing all the oil. There will be more wars to come. Our Prime Minister is too friendly with the US and signing away all our resources. Just know that there are many people in many countries throughout the world who support you. In the end the truth will all come out.

I watched Occupation 101 last weekend. I need to see it again, because of my not so good english. But it was very sad to see how Palestinians are living and resisting during all these years.

It was sad to see that little girl complaining about her living conditions or the woman telling how she saved her son before the bulldozer destroyed their home. It was very sad to see that Palestinian children can’t have even trees or a place to have fun. I can’t imagine the psychological condition of those children.

When the movie finished, the only thing I could think was that we have to do something. We, the international community, have to do something. We should, at least, try to get attention for this situation.

I am watching now From Beirut to Bosnia, the documentary by Robert Fisk banned from Discovery Channel. Torrents here: http://thepiratebay.org/tor/3731332/Discovery_Channel_-_From_Beirut_to_Bosnia_BANNED_FROM_DISCOVERY_

To all Muslims,
I am sorry if I had doubted you.
bernarda’s link opened up my eyes.
The US is too much involved in your lives.
Again I apologies.
Give us normal NA a chance to work with you.
It is not about religion but about humanity.

Here is a historical document with U.S. ally, the Shah of Iran, criticizing the “Jewish Lobby” in the U.S. back in 1976.

Are you trying to sway me away from supporting Israeli control of their lands.
They have to keep the terrorists at bay.
They have to get their promised lands.
Be it by killing, lying, deceit, force, incarceration, or the US lying for them!
I watched the video.
Too many tears for the Palestinians.
None for Israel or the US.

hi haitham,
i think you should take a look at this too, in case you didn’t already.

This report has been triggered by the warning launched in mid-july by some doctors of Gaza hospitals, who, for the first time, have treated inexplicable wounds which, in at least 62 cases, have caused the amputation of a lower limb. The doctors have often asked the help of the international community in order to understand the causes of these strange wounds which presented small fragments, often invisible to x-rays and inexplicable excisions caused by heat in lower limbs. [..]

The weapon, according to the military magazine “Defence Tech”, is called DIME which means “Dense Inert Metal Esplosive”.

I couldn’t help but shed a tear when the little girl from Gaza was describing their poor living conditions.
