Lina Wertmüller's classic anti-war film, Intro with Eng subs

A film (1983) about passionate commitment, numbing disillusionment and renewal, Seeing Red is an informed look at the hopes and aspirations of more than a million people who joined the American Communist Party between the Great Depression and the Cold War, and were transformed by their experience. Fighting for the causes of unionization, unemployment and Social Security benefits, and the eight-hour day, they committed themselves to what they believed was the right way for America.

Excerpt from a film by Edna Politi, born in Beruit, made whilst she was a student at the Berlin film school DFFB.She travels to see what is going on in the parts of Palestine occupied since the 1967 war. "FÜR DIE PALÄSTINENSER ― EINE ISRAELIN BERICHTET (1973/74) gibt einen historischen Abriss über die Geschichte der Palästinenser von 1948 bis 1974 und zeigt die in den 1970er Jahren bestehende Lebenssituation der Palästinenser in Israel und den seit 1967 durch Israel besetzten Gebieten."

On the 30th anniversary of the brutal LA police attack on Rodney King a reminder that Israel/Zionism is a distinctly racist endeavor which people of conscience should never accept.Israel is a brutal Apartheid State. Support the BDS (boycott, divest, sanctions) movement against Apartheid Israel is the least we can do! This video was blocked/restricted by YouTube, nice to have it accesible here.

Wonderful interview first posted by David Sheen here: https://youtu.be/yPIBriWWD-w I have simply improved the subtitles. Akiva Orr was a fine man, whose humanity and compassion should be a model for all of us. Here he humourously exposes the lies and contradictions of the Zionist State of Israel which has caused so much grief and destruction in the Middle East and elsewhere.

Original video at https://youtu.be/3Ui4AWMKh6E but the sound quality was so poor that it was difficult to understand. Here it is slightly improved. Statement of Ismail Ziada after the war-crime trial appeal vs Gantz + Eshel, Israeli commaners when thousands of Palestinians were slaughtered in Gaza. Over 500 children in just 50 days. Mr. Ziada lost 6 family members when Israel bombed his home. More info at: https://palestinejusticecampaign.wordpress.com/

Originally from this channel https://www.youtube.com/c/boycottapartheid/videos but the sound, especially on mobile devices was a problem, so I cleaned it up a bit. Here Israeli scholar, Prof. Leibowitz criticizes Israel's use of torture, its violation of normal moral principles of democracy + humanity. He curses Israel's political elite as "Judeo-Nazis".

When AP correspondent Matt Lee asked a very simple question of Biden's press secretary, Ned Price, he seemed speechless that someone would dare ask such an obvious question. IF the USA + Israel continue to threaten + de-legitimize the International Criminal Court, this is not only a threat to ALL international law, it puts the Palestinians in the dead-end of no recourse for WAR CRIMES committed by Israel, an apartheid State.

ON the 30th anniversary of the Rodney-King case, of racist police brutality in Los Angeles that shocked the USA, here is a look at the horrible situation the Palestinians find themselves in. Occupied and terrorized by a regime tagged as "Apartheid" by both the U.N. and other human-rights organisations. Anyone truly serious about civil-rights should support the BDS movement, it is the only-game-in-town to pressure the Israeli regime to respect human-rights! https://bdsmovement.net/

In December a group of directors of reknown German culture institutions issued a public criticism of the German resolution against BDS (a boycott movement against Israel called for by Palestinians), which banned the orgainisations from inviting artists + academics supporting the movement. They saw it as blocking any dialogue or debate on the issue. It was a VERY SMALL step, but still for the situation in Germany a welcome + necessary position against a veritable witch-hunt against all pro-Palestine voices in Germany. What is amazing in this "debate" is the crude and dishonest arguments of the "anti-Semitism Czar" of Germany, Felix Klein. Congrats to Susan Nieman for really slamming the hypocrisy and inherent danger with this so-called pro-Zionist voices.

Excerpt from Mr. Hill's fine speech seen in complete here: https://youtu.be/UuSPNo8yj28 Yes, he got fired from CNN for those 6-little-words, crying out for justice for Palestine. Yes, the Zionists try to also get Marc Lamont Hill banned from speaking here as well as other speakers, Roger Waters, David Zirin, Linda Sasour and the entire event at U. Mass/Amherst were attacked, but the attempted smear failed. Truth will win, as will justice for Palestine. Like Marc Lamont Hill says; WE WILL NOT BE SILENT!

In 1950, the American Council for the Relief of Palestinians produced the first international documentary on the Palestinian refugee camps, Sands of Sorrow.1 Directed primarily at Christian churches and charities, the film’s tone was lightly didactic, its images striking and ethnographically attentive. An early example of the then relatively new genre of humanitarian advocacy, Sands of Sorrow invited its audience to focus on the human consequences of the mass displacement of the Palestinian Arabs. The film was introduced by the journalist Dorothy Thompson, famous in the war years for her political internationalism, anti-Nazi campaigns, and tireless support of Jewish refugees. For Thompson, there was a clear moral and political continuity between her support of Jewish refugees in the late 1930s and her advocacy for the Palestinians in the early 1950s. Others disagreed. Amid accusations of anti-Semitism, she lost friends, work, and political influence. JUST 2 years after the founding of Israel, the witch-hunts/censorship of ANYONE who dared speak with a pro-Palestinian voice were already established. SEE: https://youtu.be/tIKJhs8IWyk This film exists only in really poor copies; this one is "restored" as best I could with simple software tools.

The Rosa Luxemburg Foundation (RLS) sponsered an exhibition + celebration of the triumph of the S. African Anti-Apartheid movement yet at the same time RLS and "die Linke" (Left Party) criminalize the anti-apartheid movement, BDS in Germany + Europe. Hypocrisy much? You decide.

Strong case by Ilan Pappe against the mis-use of the IHRA definition of antisemitism to weaponize that claim against pro-Palestinian voices and activists for justice in Palestine/Israel Conference hosted by the Middle East Monitor in London https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/ and organized by EuroPal Forum, an independent and non-party political organisation in London, working to build networks throughout Europe in support of Palestinian rights.

An Israeli film student in West Berlin visits destroyed Palestinian villages, a mere 24 years after Israel was founded, in 1972. Amongst them, the home village of the Palestinian Poet Mahmoud Darwish, Al-Birweh: https://www.thejerusalemfund.org/5753/destroyed-villages-nakba-mahmoud-darwish-visiting-al-birweh-1948 Available FR/ENG version here: http://www.iskrafilms.com/For-the-Palestinians-the-Israeli-witnesses Full German version here: https://dffb-archiv.de/dffb/fuer-die-palaestinenser There is a small mistake in the subs: the actual name of the Kibbutz depicted is "Beit HaEmek".
