erzulia Answer for the previous review:"3 years later we have no peace, the Palestinians are mostly "occupied" by themselves and by the Hamas which still controls Gaza strip, more than 5000 Mortar bombs and 300 "Kasam" missiles has been fallen into Israel, many people has been died and many more been injured".It is result of occupation.Children, of those killed parents are growing. What you was expecting??? I cried when I watched this movie.Not only because of injustice.Because of indifference of the world.
kijavra In hindsight, when analyzing oppression we generally come to the conclusion that the side of the oppressed should be advocated. In South Africa, for instance, there was of course violence from the oppressed party, and no one was praising that, but doesn't the incredible violence and ethnic cleansing from the apartheid government deserve far more attention? The view that there are viable and arguable sides to this situation is like saying that there are valid sides to apartheid. Am I biased towards the side of the Africans during the oppression? Of course This documentary is an accurate portrayal of Palestinian life. I spent a month in the West Bank and Israel, and every single Palestinian is affected by the occupation. I talked to a family who left their house for 2 days only to come back and find a Jewish family living in it, leaving them homeless. People tell themselves that there must be another side to the story because they are aren't aware of the magnitude of the oppression. This film indeed should have involved more ordinary or affected Isrealis, because it would only expose further the inequality and one-sidedness of the conflict, paid for by US tax dollars. It is impossible to see this heartbreaking documentary and come away still believing that Isreal is the victim in the crisis. It is poignant and accurate, and helps to relieve the public ignorance which blinds us to the gross political oppression of an apartheid state, brought to you by the USA
gilad-ed Everyone knows that each story has two sides which this movie lack off is The ability to show the other side story; If it's the Israeli side, interview the settlers, talk to the soldiers, even some government personals it compensate in showing "victim" stories again and again. as an Israeli it's hurting me the same to see mother that lost her son no matter her nationality and her religious she believes in. In august 2005 Israel begin "unilateral disengagement plan" to evict all Israelis from the Gaza Strip and from four settlements in the northern West Bank. Those days we all believed that it will bring some peace and quiet to the region and we see no alternative for any real partner in peace "Road-map" negotiations .3 years later we have no peace, the Palestinians are mostly "occupied" by themselves and by the Hamas which still controls Gaza strip, more than 5000 Mortar bombs and 300 "Kasam" missiles has been fallen into Israel, many people has been died and many more been injured .there is no "occupation" from the Israeli side. All the territory is in Palestinian hands ONLY. I don't want to imagine what would happen when Israel pull back from all the west bank. It can become much more unstable for us to live here.To call this film a Documentary is an insult to the film industry.Free "Gilad Shalit"
x-splinter This is best and maybe the only film thats exposes the truth about this conflict.As the film said: "forget everything you think you know" The film is a fantastic work, it shows historic facts, stats, interviews with the people who live, interviews with human rights groups, etc.I watch this movie with a lot of people, the feeling when you get to know the truth that the film exposes will make you anger and sad at the same time. Makes you think: "We must do something" and "How can this happen in the 21st and no one do nothing?" specially if you are an Israeli Jewish.I strongly recommend you to buy this film and watch it and share the information with as much people as you can.
