Uri Gopher - Istikbal (English & Hebrew Subtitles)

A personal perspective on what it feels for me to raise a child in Israel. Inspired by the work of "Zochrot" activists (see http://zochrot.org/en).
You're welcome to share and let me know what you think of it. Uri

Truly beautiful work. To me as a Palestinian refugee, Uri is what all Israelis/Jews should be. Peaceful, respectful and loving, that's what life is all about. May the powers to be protect you Uri, and long live Palestine, end the siege of Gaza soon.

thank you. peace

thank you Uri, what a mensch you are, why aren't most zionists persuaded of the words you sing, so sad, we in the west are working for Palestine and will boycott israeli goods for as long as necessary, free Palestine

Thanks so much for this video! I loved this and will be showing it to others to help them understand the Nakba. One suggestion, but it is probably too hard to make changes at this point. Where a series of yellow signs are being shown, it would be great to have an English translation of them on the screen, maybe in quotes or in a different font than the subtitles. For us English speakers to understand the significance of those signs.

Oh my G-d - thanks for the good cry - I needed one. My husbands due home any minute and I'm a total mess. Love to you and yours.

@kamalchassan1,you are a peaceful palestinian.You,the arabs,have learned how to be peaceful.After war,that I can only blame you for causing it,you are peaceful. Sorry that you need to see your and your nations blood for becoming peaceful and respectful.

And...no Palestina,only Israel.Palestina is the Roman name for Erets Israel.Simply.
