Killing Zone Palestine (video)

[Popol Vuh]

Palestinian civilians live under the threat of Israeli Defence Force attacks that do not discriminate between militants and children.

Over a five-week stay Journalists document the shooting by Israeli troops of the British peace campaigner Tom Hurndall, the death of James Miller, the award-winning cameraman who worked extensively for Channel 4, killed as he filmed Israeli troops bulldozing Palestinian homes, and the deaths and mutilation of many innocent Palestinians and Israelis.

3. And, don't forget...

...to order "The Forgotten Refugees," by The David Project. Available March 1st.

"A film about the mass exodus of Jews from Arab countries and Iran in the 20th century

Buried beneath the headlines of the Middle East conflict is the nearly forgotten story of the region’s indigenous Jewish communities. In 1945, up to one million Jews lived in the Middle East outside of the Palestine Mandate. Within a few years, only a few thousand remained.

The Forgotten Refugees explores the history and destruction of Middle Eastern Jewish communities, some of which had existed for over 2,500 years. It chronicles the impact of the Arab Muslim conquest, the development of Judeo-Arab culture, and the modern rise of Arab nationalism that drove out hundreds of thousands of Jews from their homes and communities. This destruction is a significant loss for the Jewish people and for the Middle East.

Featuring testimony from Jews who fled Egypt, Libya, Iraq, Yemen, Morocco and Iran, the film explores the rich heritage and destruction of the Middle East’s age-old Jewish communities. Personal stories of refugees are interspersed with dramatic archival footage, including the mission to rescue Yemenite Jews.

The film represents a unique approach to educating the public about an integral but little known aspect of Middle East history.

To learn more about this campaign and to explore Jewish history in the Middle East and North Africa, visit www.theforgottenrefugees.com

Individual copies of The Forgotten Refugees will be available for purchase as of March 1, 2006 for $24.95 (plus $5.00 shipping and handling).

To screen the film in your community or for more information, contact Rafi Finegold at [e-mail] or [phone], ext. 16

Produced by The David Project & IsraTV

4. I saw it when it was on Four Corners here...

It was really hard to watch because of how angry it made me...

Just a heads up to djinn and matilda if they're reading. There's going to be something on the ABC at 9:30pm Monday about Palestinian refugees living in Lebanon. Just from the ad I saw it looks like it's going to be pretty heartbreaking to watch...

5. You are all misguided

Don't you know only "radical Islam" produces "terrorists" and kills innocent people? Rachel Corrie, James Miller, Tom Hurndell - they're getting in the way of the "War on Terror!" You heard the IDF PR officer - she knows what happened! :sarcasm:

The ultimate irony is that these people - including the two jewish women in the film - were doing the work of Christ, risking their lives for peace and justice in the Rafah ghetto. If there is a heaven, they are there.

Hey, who is broadcast this in America? Fox? NBC? CBS? ABC? :sarcasm:
