Israeli Apartheid and The Nakba:
a new brilliant work by Anthony Lawson (quote by Gilad Atzmon)
There can be absolutely no doubt that Israel has created an inhuman, illegal and utterly disgraceful Apartheid
state, and the international community will never be able to excuse itself if it takes no action against this blatant,
ongoing and in-plain-sight crime against humanity.
Children of Gaza: A documentary broadcast on Monday 15 Mar 2010 8pm on Channel 4.
In December 2008, the Israeli Defence Force unleashed a campaign to “destroy the ability of Hamas to launch
rockets” into Israel. More than 300 children were among the 1,400 Palestinians that were killed.
After the ceasefire, BAFTA-winning filmmaker Jezza Neumann arrived in Gaza to follow the lives of three children
over a year. Surrounded by the remnants of the demolished Gaza Strip and increasingly isolated by the blockade that
prevents anyone from rebuilding their homes and their lives, Children of Gaza is a shocking, touching and uniquely
intimate reflection on extraordinary courage in the face of great adversity. NB: If you are using the Internet Explorer (IE) browser

“Targeted Citizen”, by Adalah
The film “Targeted Citizen” (15 minutes), produced by filmmaker Rachel Leah Jones for Adalah, surveys
discrimination against the Palestinian citizens of Israel. With the participation of experts Dr. Yousef Jabareen of
the Technion and Dr. Khaled Abu Asbeh of the Van Leer Institute, as well as Adalah attorneys Sawsan Zaher, Abeer Baker
and Hassan Jabareen, inequality in land and housing, employment, education and civil and political rights are eloquently
addressed. These interviews are reinforced by the contrasting informality of on-the-street conversations conducted by
Palestinian comic duo Shammas-Nahas and punctuated by the hard-hitting rhymes of Palestinian rap trio DAM. The film's
theme song “Targeted Citizen,” written and recorded by DAM especially for Adalah, tells it like it is without missing a beat.
Shministim, Israel's youngest prisoners of conscience: a year ago today, tens of thousands demanded the
release of Israel's youngest prisoners of conscience, the Shministim.
These 12th graders courageously chose prison time over serving in the occupying Israeli army, and became heroes to us and the entire world. Last Chanukah, just one day after Tamar Katz was released from solitary
confinement, the young Shministim gathered to celebrate and to decide how to thank the 20,000 (and counting) Jewish
Voice for Peace members who wrote letters, attended rallies, and wrote articles on their behalf. This is the message they
carefully wrote together. One year later, as Shministit Or Ben-David sits in prison in Israel, and as Jews around the world
prepare to celebrate the last night of Chanukah, it seems appropriate to share it with you again. We can't imagine a more
important message during this festival of lights. Watch the video here.

wielding great influence among the highest realms of British politics and media
, little is known about the individuals and groups which collectively are known as the pro-Israel lobby.
Political commentator Peter Oborne sets out to establish who they are, how they are funded,
how they work and what influence they have, from the key groups to the wealthy individuals who help bankroll the lobbying.
He investigates how accountable, transparent and open to scrutiny the lobby is, particularly in
regard to its funding and financial support of MPs.
The pro-Israel lobby aims to shape the debate about Britain's relationship with Israel and future
foreign policies relating to it. Oborne examines how the lobby operates from within parliament and the tactics it employs
behind the scenes when engaging with print and broadcast media.

True Stories: Defamation, Season 1 Episode 1, released on Youtube on Jan 12, 2010
Israeli filmmaker Yoav Shamir's personal exploration of a sensitive contemporary issue asks "What is anti
-Semitism today?" Is it a real danger that requires eternal vigilance or a tactic used by Zionists discredit their
critics?
The film is an exposure of the morbid conditions that entangle contemporary Jewish secular identity. It explores and
ridicules the current notion of anti Semitism and the lobbies that are engaged in disseminating such a fear. It also
exposes those Jewish ethnic campaigners who, for some reason, insist on shaping their identity around the phantasmic
idea of being ‘racially’ chased, defamed or hated.
