Palestinian return

A report by Chris Den Hond and Mireille Court, 27 min.
10 million Palestinians. More than 5 million of them are refugees. And half of those are still living in camps. It is in Lebanon that the Palestinian refugees live under the worst conditions. We visited the camps of Chatila, Borj Al Barajneh, Marelias, Nahr Al Bared, Badawi, Ain El Hilweh et Rachidiya. Everywhere we find great poverty, a dense population, narrow lanes, a maze of electric wires all connected to each other, workshops for small manual jobs… but everywhere also the same steadfast will to returnto their country, Palestine.

Previous film : Free in the prison of Gaza a report with the liberated palestinian prisoners (25 min.) in Arabic : http://youtu.be/ZXUE0bcg2hk and in English : http://youtu.be/nDvi75pnctU

      Yes indeed, shows a side you don’t ever see. No one in the MSM ever really mentions these Palestinain Ghettos, Well let’s be fair the BBC censors the word Palestine so as not to offend Jews. Great Video, loved that old guy saying he’d crawl on all fours to go fight again – that’s the spirit./ But it was interesting to hear that other woman going on about how they has been sold out to rival gangs vying for power and they had in turn be bought with US mafia money.

        The number of Palestinian refugees in the diaspora though is questionable. I think its a lot more than the 5 million they stated.

    An alternative edited version of a recent article in the Independent newspaper 3.3.13;
    “The team behind the research, based at the United States Palestinian Memorial Museum in Washington DC, told The Independent that they believe the evidence could also be crucial to survivors trying to bring cases for compensation against Israel and other countries for time spent in camps whose existence was hitherto obscure or undocumented.”

    A brilliant video in which Palestinians tell it like it is from their perspective. Those of us unfortunate to live in realms where the zionist run media like to perpetuate their lies, need to watch this video. The world needs to understand that Palestinians have a right to defend themselves. They are the true inheritors of Palestine, not the invader zionist parasites that seek to take it by force.

    Whilst activists for Palestine around the world wait impotently for their criminal politicians to wise up or move on… Palestinians are being imprisoned, killed and persecuted in ways that defy established ethical and moral codes of practice. The Palestinians cannot wait for the world to defend their rights – they are doing what they can, where they can and with whatever means available to them to resist this evil Zio-tyranny.

    Long live the Resistance!

    This is a powerful film and serves as a timely reminder that the injustice of the Palestinian NAKBA goes back to 1947/48, if not earlier to the Balfour agreement. The refugees who fled are still refugees. Living in deplorable conditions. To shrink this injustice to the ’67 borders is to deny not only their rights but their current tragedy.

    In April it will the 65 years since the Deir Yassin massacre. We cannot let this event slip by un-remembered.

    Does anyone know how I can get hold of a copy of this film to use at a DYR memorial ceremony we are planning?

      I will ask the man who made it.

      (don’t forget the one about the palestinian prisoners as well!)

      If you have internet connection in the conference room,
      you can play it directly from the Youtube version.
      Or you can download the film from Youtube (the quality remains very well) * google on how to do this.

    Thanks, I’ll try that. Better still, I’ll set my son the task.

    Ps: Jonathan, I have not forgotten the prisoners. A group of us will be in York with posters, photos and leaflets on 17th April, but were you talking about a specific film, if so I’m not sure which film you mean.

    Is it ok with the film makers to download this Palestinian refugee film from Youtube? I thought there were royalties to be paid. And is it ok to download any film on this site to show at meetings etc. The trouble with live streaming is that it sometimes just stops in the middle, which would be rather embarrassing at a public showing. And for example, if we were to host a Palestinian film festival in Cambridge, could we use this film?

      How do uploads on YT get royalties?
