in 1947, the partition plan of palestine was approved by the united nations, and palestine was divided between the arabs and the jews, but it was decided that the zinanis would not have the right to form any government before british forces leave palestine. it was the golden opportunity the zionists had been looking for. for for years. from that time on, the zionist terrorist groups drove the final nail in the coffin of the british empire with numerous bombings and attacks on british soldiers. on may 14th, 1948, the last british ship had not faded away yet when benguruan announced the existence of israel in a speech broadcasted by the media from the jewishland palestine and the jewish brigade. the skirmish started. israel occupied haifa and pretty soon the cities of safa and akra fell. after the bombardment of jafa, saran and his friends left all their movies and videos among the blood and fire and ran away. finally, on may 15th, 1948, israel attacked alcods. on the same day the arab armies entered. despite the initial victories, the arabs eventually retreated on all fronts. with the l

"the countries inevitably signed the cease fire agreement, the signing of the agreements paved the way for the acceptance of the usurped government in the united nations. when the life of the palestinian community as a political and social entity came to an end and absolute silence prevailed, a silence of..." anger and guilty conscience. life in the coastal cities almo

an estimated 1500 jews lived in palestine in 1837. the number grew to 10,00 in 3 years and reached 22,000 by 1881. most of the jews lived within the alwr's territory. another 2500 of them. triped in palestine between 1881 and 1903. in 1910, the jews established their first plantation in palestine. although the plantations were of no economic value, the jewish movement wanted jews to work on the agricultural tracks to tie them to the soil and the land. at the outset of the first world war, the number of jews had preached 85,000. they possessed some 380. 4 square kilometers of land and around 44 plantations. the israelis did not occupy palestine all at once, they rather seized it by small pieces before fully swallowing it, and it was done through creation of settlements. settlement is not a housing or residential complex, it is rather castle with logistical facilities, weapons depots, barracks and other military features for soldiers while accommodating them and their families. in a jewish settlement, people live in well-protected homes

the first one is historic palestine. this is the territory over which..." the palestinian people should have been able to exercise their right to self determination. instead, the general assembly recommended the partition of palestine, ignoring the will of our people as shown in the second map. with the nakbah that ensued, over two-thirds of our people were systematically and forceibly expelled by israel, and the fourth. of palestine became israel, as shown in the third map. this was the start of the naqba, the disposition, the displacement and replacement our people, the denial of rights and discrimination that continues to this very day. in 1967, israel then occupied the remainder of palestine, and from the first day of its occupation started colonizing and annexing the land with the aim of making its occupation irreversible. it left us with a collection of disconnected pantustans. preventing the independence of our state, as shown in map four. israel wanted the the geography of palestine, but not its demography, so it

israel's war for occupation of palestine. the great. this is one of the oldest known pictures of palestine. it shows the high walls of alrot in the inner parts of the city. it was taken 111 years before the occupation of palestine. a valuable piece of evidence that negates the zionists claim that the territory they occupied had been uninhabited. living here for centuries are. people known as palestinians. this territory has been home to their feasts and celebrations. they have toiled here and cultivated the land. they have picked olives scattered across the hills surroundings. they have collected wheat in aljalil and grown bananas, oranges and watermelons in jaffa and haifa. they have fished with cast nets off the coasts of palestine to feed their families. these young girls have filled clay. with water for men who broke stones to build their houses. this is the story of nation that lived here for centuries until an obscure foreign regime emerged and began farming on their lands and brought in new people to replace the old nation.

clavy presented a new form to portray palestine in cinema.ts with the movie by michelle kleifi which specifically deals with the relationship between man and land. land as a symbol of palestinian identity. and nationality is the main hero of the movie. the staring of camera is the staring of the director to reclaim the land, look at palestine before occupation. the past also has a strong presence in the present and constantly appears before the eyes of the refugees. the combination of space and time depicts the palestine before the occupation that is still alive away. this vision by kleifi makes the foundation for the independent and modern cinema of palestine. all the movies flow in two specific layers. the deadly memory of losing the land and being caught up in everyday life, a cinema that is based on memory, landscape and the land. with the movie wedding in galilee, michelle chleify managed to change the conditions for independent palestinian cinema. wedding and galilei won the international critics award at the film festival. that is how.

the jew's migration to palestine did not stop. they kept arriving its shores from cyprus, some in broad daylight, and others used the dark cover of the night. it all happened with the support and knowledge of the british colonizers. they began training jews leading to the emergence of gangs such as argon, shetron, and hagona. i was member of the hagana underground mobilized unit 41 in helping the british to invade the levan, lebanon and syria that were under the rishi government that collaborated with hitler's germany till now together with the british we were trained by them in by them in sabatage activities in case rome. will succeed to capture egypt and to invade palestine. later manaham began arrives in palestine to lead argan as david pengorian sens his envoys to europe to buy jews the arms they need. meanwhile, gold miyer is also taking a tour of the us to raise money for the purchasing of the new arms shipments. weapons flow into palestine and israeli terrorist groups commit the der yasan massacre on april 9, 1948. they sla

will never die palestine, hello, i'm chris williamson and you're watching palestine declassified with only weekly tv show that's dedicated to investigating and exposing the israeli regime's global war against solidarity with the illegally occupied people of palestine. in this week's show we'll be focusing on the west new found commitment to the so-called two-state solution in response to the genocide being perpetrated by israel in gaza. but why don't they propose democratic solution rather than top-down imposition? after all, they're forever proclaiming their commitment to democracy and enabling the entire adult. population to vote on their future would be genuine exercise in self-determination. this report by latif rabuchakra might help to explain their reluctance to do so. western states, especially the uk, are trying to resurrect the two states solution as they move for the first time to endorse a palestinian state. this new move signals a recognition that the axes of resistance is winning, better a palestinian state than the systematic dismantling of the designist. entity, but why

the idea that they could ever commit genocide in palestine must be firmly smashed. once the material support for racist ideas is removed, then the ideas themselves are starved of sustenance. once the british left most of ireland in 1920, there were unionists in the irish free state who were bitterly and obstinately committed to ireland remaining a colony of britain, but after the declaration of a republic in 1948 and the fact of irish independence, most unionists gave up. within a generation, they had come to think of themselves as irish. the lesson for palestine is that material circumstances supporting zyanus ideology must change, and then it will be possible to dismantle zionism. designization means, first of all, dismantling zionist organizations. this can be done by disbanding. organizations such that they cease to exist. most obviously, this would include the world zinius organization and all of its affiliates all over the world, but there are zionist organizations which can have legitimate functions in society, should they be effectively designized. today, th

the struggle against the occupiers of the land of palestine and the zionist. it is the issue of palestine the most sensitive part for any islamic society, attempts have been made to smash this unity among muslims, they use differences between schools of thought, but we see that they have failed. you can see about a month ago, all the islamic countries gathered in saudi arabia. when we say the world of islam, i mean all member countries of the organization of islamic cooperation. the purpose of the meeting was one thing, and that is to resolve the palestine issue, that is, the issue of the historical land of palestine, and in particular with the recent events in gaza and the recent brutality. in general, this gathering was in fact an effort to confront the enemies attempts. to so division in the entire union, remember that the greatest imperialist power rome had the slogan divide and rule. all empires have made the most of this dirty policy so that they can divide the others and thereby assert their hegemony. in the current time, in the current century and the current decade, we are witnes
