What prompts a young, well-educated Westerner to risk life and limb as a peace activist in the Middle East? With her striking red hair and bright lipstick, Caiomhe Butterly defies initial expectations of the 'typical' activist. Motivated by idealism, she blocks bullets with her body and ignores threats to her own safety to alleviate the suffering that surrounds. Her story provides a rare insight into the everyday lives of Palestinians, moving beyond usual depictions of one-dimensional heroes or victims. During a siege of Jenin, Caiomhe's luck finally runs out and she is shot and wounded. With its harrowing frontline footage and intimate character portraits, this is surely one of the most powerful films to come out of Palestine in recent years.

Put these Zionist on an island and nuke it...END OF STORY.

Israel has not won the right to occupy and create settlements in Gaza and the West Bank. It is a clear violation of Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention. Israel is violating international law on a daily basis right before the worlds eyes. They are able to get away with it because they have the political and military backing of America.

[tcbuzz]

It's not ground breaking news that Hamas has engaged in human rights violations but they are not as bad as Israel's record in the occupied territories which is my point. Oh you really got me good on the your/you're, distinction that was a real substantive catch. Weak.

[1sushicheese1]

@tcbuzz Haha I also checked out the human rights record on the Hamas it was not very good. And before you call me dumb, please use proper grammar. It's you're, not your. You're so dumb I thought I could educate you....

[tcbuzz]

@1sushicheese1 Your so dumb. Israel has a horrendous human rights record. Check it for yourself via mainstream human rights websites such as B'Tselem, Human Rights Watch, and Amnesty International. Now stop wasting my time with your dimwitted opinions.

[1sushicheese1]

@tcbuzz Do you know what your even talking about? The Hamas don't just fire "bottle rockets". They sneak past the border and bomb Israeli buses with tons of innocent people. Its horrific. Of course the Hamas are going to be hiding everywhere, including where the civilians are. Israel has to wipe the terrorists out somehow, and many times they have no choice but the raid peoples homes and bomb suspected houses. You're an idiot, acting like Israel is attacking the Palestinians for no reason at all

[tcbuzz]

@1sushicheese1 Israel has every right to kill women and children you nincompoop? Do you think Palestine is just going to sit there while its women and children are being murdered you big dummy? Hamas fires the equivalent of bottle rockets and Israel responds with 3 ton bombs and kills 10x as many people. Go to the B'Tselem website and look at the numbers for yourself. Not just civilians are being killed in Palestine, let's be clear, they are mostly women and children, dunce.

[1sushicheese1]

@tcbuzz idiot Israel has every right to do this as long as the terrorist Hamas bombers keep trying to cross the border. Do you think Israel is just going to sit there while its people are killed? No! Fool you would understand if you were living in a country where its neighbors are constantly trying to kill you. Use your common sense you brainwashed imbecile. And yes civilians are getting killed too because the terrorists are hiding close to them. That is war unfortunately.

@BlackSoulOfHeaven on your comment to elguapo so you're saying that you thought the children there were terrorists,ya explain that asshole.

In Syria you would not stand in front of a tank for one second...
