Sarura – Documentary Confronting Israeli soldiers and settlers with video cameras and hutzpah. At the gates of the Negev desert, a group of young Palestinians fight against settlers who are committed to forcing them out of Sarura. Already the village has been abandoned but a team of activists are determined to face down the settlers and return the village to it former residents. They face aggression with nonviolent action, defending themselves from rifles with their video cameras; they oppose desolation and death with hope and life. https://www.journeyman.tv/features
Hebron Exposed: A Weapon of Life – Documentary The Palestinians wielding cameras against Israeli violence. Hebron Exposed: A Weapon of LifeIn this episode of BBC Arabic’s Hebron Exposed, the narrative turns to the Palestinians on the front line of the occupation. The Palestinian Human Rights Defenders (PHRD) have begun to film incidents and educate children to do the same. Unable to trust the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF), filming attacks, misconduct, and abuse leads to the clips being used as evidence in court. Though sharing videos online is a non-violent form of protection, the result is often a double edged sword, with clips receiving both support and abuse https://www.journeyman.tv/film/7396
Hebron Exposed: Among the Settlers – Documentary Israeli Jews fight expulsion with expansion. Hebron Exposed: Among the SettlersIn one of the most divided cities in the world, Jewish-Arab hostility in Hebron is under strict military control. Each individual has their own sense of ‘truth’, making the war one of words as much as guns, stones, and bombs. Tours run continually, each with their own route, narrative, and maps of the area. Some want peace, others retribution, with the Jewish community continually looking to expand into what is now Palestinian territory. With camera working against camera, in this instalment of BBC Arabic’s Hebron Exposed, no one perspective seems ‘true’ or ‘right’. https://www.journeyman.tv/film/7395
2023-11-22 ‘THERE IS HOPE IN RESISTANCE’: REFRAMING OCT. 7TH, HAMAS, AND PALESTINE’S ARMED FACTIONS The narrative that equates Palestinian resistance with ISIS-style terrorism obscures a simple reality: Palestinians are fighting for a hopeful future, and Hamas and other armed factions have achieved far more than Gaza’s devastation might suggest. The events of Oct. 7th, when Operation Al-Aqsa Flood began, have inflated Hamas into a terrifying bogeyman in the Western and Zionist imagination. The Palestinian resistance in all its diversity of thought and aims is reduced to the idea of Hamas, which is unquestioningly and breathlessly described as a terrorist entity. Thus, all Palestinian resistance becomes equated with terrorism, and all who act in solidarity with Palestine become terrorist-sympathizers. The purpose of this construction of the Palestinian freedom fighter into a ‘profane figure’ is not only to distort the reality of Palestinian oppression and justify Israel’s wanton violence, but also to police the borders of acceptable discourse and thought among those whose sympathies lie with Palestine. https://therealnews.com/oct-7-al-aqsa-flood-what-does-hamas-want-palestinian-resistance-contesting-terrorist-label-abdaljawad-omar
