A Muslim and a Jew Make Music Together - The Epichorus - Nanaa al Genina.

The sign reads: ‘The Palestinian Martyr : Sarah Al-Dalu‘ 

Today was the first day of the Gazan schools after 8 days of war. Sarah was killed along side 10 of her family members (mother , father , sisters , brothers and aunts) when the Israeli Army targeted their home that collapsed over 14 members of the Al-Dalu family.

This photo brings memories from my own childhood, we had similar themes in my elementary school, where each one of us was asked about our ‘dead or alive’ parents, and I can’t help but think of children with no childhood.

WAR MATADOR / TRAILER // JMT Films Distribution

A film by Avner Faingulernt & Macabit Abramson / Israel 2011

In January 2009, during the war in Gaza, two courageous Israeli directors grabbed their cameras to shoot material along the common border. The bombs are filmed from a distance, out of focus and at extreme focal length — the tourists’ point of view. The impact of the bombs in the distance is muffled, which is why the visual opposition between close up/long shot draws the attention to the spoken words, which are blunt, without compassion. The result of their journey is a disturbing essay about war and tourism, an absurd, surreal journey.

Author James Barr discusses A Line in the Sand. This book is definitely hitting my Amazon Wish List!

Bethlehem — ironie de l’occupation (Irony of the occupation) - Wall in Palestine

Eyal Weizman - The Architecture of Occupation (Presentation of ‘Hollow Land’)

One of my role models as of last week! Inspirational and in many ways what I want to be in this life!

He is an Israeli architect, Professor of Visual Cultures and director of the Centre for Research Architecture at Goldsmiths, University of London. He also directs the European Research Council funded project, Forensic Architecture - on the place of architecture in international humanitarian law. He is a founding member of the architectural collective DAAR in Beit Sahour/Palestine. 

Weizman works with a variety of NGOs and human-rights groups in Israel/Palestine. He co-curated the exhibition ‘A Civilian Occupation, The Politics of Israeli Architecture’, and co-edited the publication of the same title. These projects were based on his human-rights research, and were banned by the Israeli Association of Architects.

Hollow Land is a groundbreaking exploration of the political space created by Israel’s colonial occupation. In this journey from the deep subterranean spaces of the West Bank and Gaza to their militarized airspace, Weizman unravels Israel’s mechanisms of control and its transformation of the Occupied Territories into a theoretically constructed artifice, in which natural and built features function as the weapons and ammunition with which the conflict is waged. Weizman traces the development of these ideas, from the influence of archaeology on urban planning, Ariel Sharon’s re-conceptualisation of military defence during the 1973 war, through the planning and architecture of the settlements, to contemporary Israeli discourse and practice of urban warfare. In exploring Israel’s methods to transform the landscape itself into a tool of total domination and control, ‘Hollow Land’ lays bare the political system at the heart of this complex and terrifying project of late-modern colonial occupation.

I would highly recommend you to check out this website called “Jews against zionism”.

Also read these articles: Three Strong Oaths, Zionism promotes anti-semitism and Nazi support of zionism!

You can also ask these Orthodox Jews questions.

These kinds of actions make me so proud of humanity.

Politicians and the media with their negative agenda hijack religious identities to achieve their political goals, and common people are ones to suffer. Judaism is not Israel, and it’s sad how people confuse between the two. Jews and Muslims are more similar than most people think. They go back to the same source after all!
