“It is a science-fiction film set in the past”—Fellini on his Satyricon

“Nowadays, you can’t ridicule an Irishman on the television, you can’t ridicule a Jew, and you can’t ridicule a Negro. But they can kill us all the time—make everything out of us they want. Every night you see them on the television—killing us Indians. That’s all they do.”—Chief Meyers, 1965

Rice Compares Israeli Occupation to Infamous US Segregation

"In private conversations - and as she said in Annapolis - Rice tends to compare the Israeli occupation in the territories to the racial segregation that used to be the norm in the American South. The Israel Defense Forces checkpoints where Palestinians are detained remind her of the buses she rode as a child in Alabama, which had separate seats for blacks and whites. This is an
uncomfortable comparison, of course, for the Israelis, who view it as "over-identification" on her part with Palestinian suffering." -

ETHNIC CLEANSING GOES ON AND ISRAEL WANTS YOU TO ACCEPT IT

Ilan Pappe: the peace process means what piece of Palestine Israel is supposed to annex and what Bantustan is supposed to be given to the Arabs

By Emanuela Irace from il manifesto 23/12/07
( the complete interview is found: On Peacepalestine, the English translation of an Ilan Pappe interview made to Italy's il manifesto

43. Carousel (2008)
Historian of dissent, �revisionist�, born in 1954 in Israel, son of Jews who fled from the Germany of the �30s, he (Ilan Pappe) has published a half dozen books. Amongst the most recent works there is �The ethnic cleansing of Palestine�







44. Race with the Devil (2008)
45. Anguish (2008)

The consequence is that when the state of Israel was established, nobody blamed it for the ethnic cleansing which it had been founded on, a crime against humanity carried out by those who planned and fulfilled it. From that time on, ethnic cleansing has become an ideology, an infrastructural decoration of the state. A matter that is still topical, since Israel�s primary target is demographic: to seize as much territory as possible with the least number of Arabs living in it as possible.�

46. Footloose (2008)
47. The Fly (2008)
48. Piranha (2008)

By what forms and means does the ethnic cleansing go on?

49. The Driller Killer (2008)
50. Ikiru (2008)
51. Tomo (2008)
52. Oh, God! (2008)

�Through �cleaner and more presentable� systems. The Minister of Justice has been trying for a month to legitimize the illegal settlements by leaving the outposts in place. We�ve learnt that the High Court of Justice is pondering whether to authorize the government to make a cut-down on fuel supplies, thus leaving Gaza without electricity, where there are a million Palestinians who would find themselves in the situation of not being able to have access to drinking water, since the water-bearing stratum is polluted with sewage and people can drink it only if there is an electrical water purification system. Yet, there are many other ways and examples to annihilate the Palestinians, in primis the Wall, accepted by the US and the EU.�


53. The Topkapi Affair (2008)

63. Silent Night, Deadly Night (2008)


�First of all, we have to change our terminologies. It�s not about a clash between Jews and Palestinians. It�s matter of colonialism. It�s incredible how a colonialist policy can be still accepted in the 21st century. We have to force Israel to comply with the same measures that were imposed on racist South Africa in the �60s and the �70s. Today there are opinion movements of young Jews, in Europe and in the US, who point the finger at Israel�s colonialist policies and accuse it as a colonialist and racist state, not because it is a state founded by Jews.�

64. The Smurfs (2008)
65. Revenant (2008)


In France and in other European countries there are laws that place restrictions on the right to express �revisionist� opinions towards Israel, yet there are no steps taken against the continuous violation of the UN resolutions.

66. The Women (2008)
67. 36 (2008)
68. Fame (2008)

�I underwent such an experience about two years ago. One of my lectures was interrupted by a group of extremists, composed of Jews like me, who prevented me from continuing. The police came in, to protect rather than to accuse me. As to keeping silent, it�s by far easier for people to think in a conventional manner. One has to have a lot of energy and originality to act in non-conformist ways. For instance, UN Resolution 194 states that the Palestinian refugees have the right to return to their land. Yet it�s much easier to do nothing and keep thinking in the usual identical formula.�
