Free Palestine

A short film, following the protest against the Israeli siege on Gaza. Capturing the outrage of the British public at the governments silence, in a hope to promote public opinion in the media.

When Israel broke the six month ceasefire on November 4, 2008, it began a long planned invasion, during the last few weeks of George Bush's presidency and a few weeks before Israeli elections.

13 Israelis have been killed, and 1,300 Palestinians. Tank and missile fire hit United Nations schools, where children were sheltering. Of the dead in Gaza, many are civilian men, women and children.

John Ging, head of Unrwa, called for an investigation to discover if war crimes have been committed.

Mr Ging said "I'm ashamed of this - there's international legal responsibility to protect civilians in conflict, and we're not doing it,"

"We're failing here, we're failing and there has to be accountability for that failure."

The Palestine Campaign said 100,000 people took to the streets of London on the 10th of January 2009. Just one of many protests taking place around the world.

Muslim Lies, and propaganda. If Israel Attacked them, it is because they attacked Israel first. Israel has the right to defend themselves, from these Palestine/Gaza Terrorists.

i'm not a muslim, i'm not a liar, and this is not propaganda, sadly it's just fact; globally people are upset about extreme acts of aggression carried out against innocent civilians. The Irgun were disposing of Palestinian families and their homes in 1936, but who cast the first stone is irrelevant. It is exactly that 'they did it first' mentality that perpetuates the hatred and continues the conflict.

The rise of anti semitism...luckily the idf will not let it happen again.

@19801290

The term 'Anti Semitism' is always bounded around as an excuse for war crimes and violations of international law.

@kendalkempsey

not quite friend..it also has a lot to do with the holocaust and hatred of jews. Get your facts right...you must be young in years to hold such poorly formed views

[kendalkempsey]

@19801290 Although I am not so young in years, age is not a measure of a man. Experience is insignificant if one takes nothing from it, and casting judgment undermines your point.

I have no hatred of any man or race, Jew or Muslim, I am neither. The holocaust along with every case of genocide is an outrage, but it is unacceptable to use this as a defense for further violations of human rights. And so the conflict persists.

@kendalkempsey Arabs live in Israel and are treated as normal members of society. A jew in Palestine would be executed on the spot. Think about it. Use your common sense...look how the Palestinians treat people..they teach their kids to become suicide bombers for goodness sake man.

@19801290

Unfortunately for you, Muslims were also given the same piece of land by God.

Your unwillingness to compromise and lack of empathy is a sad and telling sign that this conflict will persist, hatred is instilled since birth in both Palestine & Israel.

kendalkempsey. The land is Israels, the whole land, it was given to us by God. The Palestinians never had a land, they were squatters in our holy land. They teach their children to blow themselves up and to hate the Israelis from birth. Similarly muslims are free to live in Israel, a Jew in Palestine would not last five minutes...who is intolerant, the suicide mohammadens or the nation of Israel?
