Israeli Apartheid Video Contest:
Put your ideas and convictions on film!
itISapartheid.org in partnership with Stop the Wall announce the first international Israeli Apartheid Video Contest
As part of the colonial conflict in Palestine, Israel has instituted a policy of apartheid that separates Palestinians from Israelis and Palestinians from each other, creating an oppressive and racially discriminatory system. It denies basic Palestinian rights to land, education, movement, and housing while devastating the economy, trying to undermine civil society, and forcing continuous displacement upon
the majority of Palestinians.
You are invited to submit short [less than 5 minutes] videos on the theme of "Israeli Apartheid."
Videos should reflect the nature, realities, and/or consequences of the apartheid policy in Israel, in the occupied West Bank and Gaza and against Palestinian refugees in the diaspora.
The contest is Co-Sponsored by: Badil, Code Pink, Friends of Sabeel North America, ICAHD-USA, and Unitarian-Universalists for Justice in the Middle East; AJJP Boston
Endorsers: MECA, Lajee Center, Al-Rowwad Center, and Al-Rowwad USA, Boston Palestinian Film Festival, ADC American-Arab Anti Discrimination Committee Massachusetts and the International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network.

Now They Are Into Contests
The "they" being anti-Zionists, opponents of Israel and Jewish nationalism:
"ISRAELI APARTHEID MUST STOP!
ReplyDeleteArabs and Jews can and should live side by side, therefore we need more settlements on the West Bank. We must demonstrate how serious we are about living together with our Arab cousins.
More West Bank Settlement NOW!"
SL
What a beautiful idea ! But before thinking about "settling" in the West Bank, maybe you should start with giving Palestinians the same rights that you enjoy everyday (freedom to live and work wherever they want), end the military occupation and yes, you'll be able to buy a house in Nablus or Jenin and live with the Palestinians as fellow citizens of the same state.
ReplyDeleteDear Maat, they get the same rights we do as soon as they don't assume the rights to kill us at will - which they started before there was any "occupation" or "oppression or even "settlements" in 1920, in 1921, in 1929, and on and on and on. The PLo, you know was founded before 1967. Which "Palestine" were they intent on liberating if Israel didn't administer Judea and Samaria at that time (Jordan occupied it)?
ReplyDeleteWake up Maat.
