As Israel
celebrates
its 60th
birthday,
let's take a
look at what
kind of a
country
Israel
really is.
This is an
old black
and white
film, made
before the
Israeli War
Party
succeeded in
subverting
US politics
and news
media.
When you
hear the
phrase
"Palestinian
refugee
camps", this
is what it
meant in the
years after
hundreds of
thousands of
Palestinians
were
illegally
evicted from
their lands
by "newly
born"
Israel.
There is an
astonishing
amount of
ignorance
about the
basic facts
of the
so-called
Arab-Israeli
conflict.
This footage
was shot in
the late
1940s to
educate the
public about
the plight
of hundreds
of thousands
of
Palestinians
who had been
made
homeless as
a result of
the violence
and
intimidation
that
accompanied
the founding
of the state
of Israel.
What most
Palestinians
thought
would be a
temporary
dislocation
lasting only
a few weeks
at most
became
permanent.
Homeless
with just
the clothes
on their
backs, they
were left in
the desert
without
food, water,
and medical
care to die.
