People and the Land: The Documentary Israel Tried to Block 6

It was made in 1997, but the occupation is always the same. The story alone if you take time to read it is amazing. You'll really like the scenes where the Israelis say how to take care of the "problem". One American holds up a sign saying "transfer all the Arabs to Oklahoma where there's oil" Isn't that a good idea? One Israeli says "Take all the Arabs and put them in Arab countries and make one big Disneyland for them" One Israeli settler says, "As long as the Arabs are peaceful they can stay here". and more.

This film is EXCELLENT and I didn't see anything in it that would make it outdated except maybe some of the specific names. Realy, realy good. I don't know if PBS finally showed it but at the time of the article above they would not. It talks about the American attempt to censor the making too. You know it's good if so many "nice" people didn't want it to be seen at the time. It's really nice of the doc makers to let the IOF have their say on how fair things are (yeah right) and then show the atrocities. [Robin]

@RussiangirlNY this means that other people i.e. Arabs or anyone no jewish so not have that right. Zionism implies that the state will seek a Jewish majority by any means necessary, even if it means treating other like dogs. No racist regime of this nature has ever endured because the rest of the world has a moral voice which in the long run will prevail. I do not hate Jews. I hate Zionists Zionists are the scum of the earth because they are blind of the suffering of others.

@michelleaxel The problem is that Zionism declares that Jews have a metaphysical supremacy to all other races of man. Have you ever heard of a nation that has endured declaring itself superior to the rest of the world? No empire has ever endured the test of time. Zionism should be destroyed and will be destroyed because it is an off shoot of Nazism. No one can dispute this. Even if you would take on the mild definition of Zionism to mean that Jews have a right to a homeland, in PRACTICAL terms

Sadly it is a Propaganda film. And only people that live in Israel know the truth. The person who made this film is totally subjective and I am truly sorry that people hear and see only one side. Sadder is reading racist's comments. People that call for killing and violent they are the bad ones. People of Israel need to defense themselves from anti Zionists that seek to destroy Israel.

@LingaShaved

Americans made this film ..

[Littlewolf88]

When i watched this doc.. one thing came to mind... Germany in the 1940s. Israel is completely blinded by anger for what the Jews went through in World War 2 . Also reminds me of what the US did to Native Americans.. History is repeating itself once again.

Man... i thought israel and USA are good countries....I ve changed maaan...

I m for justice and i hate them both from now on.... no wonder they do suicide attacks
