  • Israel: Tel Aviv Gaza protest 26.7.2014

    28 July, by siawi3

    The video starts with the anti-war demonstration and a coordinated speech by a Palestinian from Ramalla and a Jewish Israeli youth - both of them describing themselves as escaping the circle of aggression and fighting. Although the Palestinian used to be part of the armed struggle and sat in prison for 10 years since he was 14, both of them now are joined as equal partners in the bi-national struggle for peace in non violent means. Another speaker also emphazises the importance of joined Jewish-Arab struggle and talks about the human cost of the war and the heart breaking innocent responses of Jewish and Palestinian boys atg their fathers’ deaths. The chanting is - ’in Gaza and Sderot the children want to live’ and ’the fascism won’t work’. Then the film moves to the counter demonstration of the the nationalists outside the ’leftist peaceniks’. They start by talking about the need for national solidarity when Israeli Jewish soldiers fight and die defending their homeland. Then the discussion moves to critique of ’the leftists’ who would be considered as traitors and would be imprisoned in any country. ’The leftists are not human, they are animals’. The film ends with them dancing and chanting ’Jews have souls, Arabs are children of whores’ ; ’death to the Arabs’ and ’’a thousand Arabs killed!’. This is unprecedent, even in Israeli right wing discourse.
