Films on Palestine/Israel:

• Israel vs. Israel, a documentary film by EAPPI member Terje Carlsson.
• Lemon Tree, a feature film on land confiscation
• Live and Become, a feature film on the plight of the Ethiopian Jews in Israel and the discrimination against them. The Occupation is also briefly mentioned, and although I do not agree with every word in the film, it does portray that many Israelis do not agree that Palestine should be occupied, but prefer peace and a one-state solution.  In a powerful scene in a debate on “The colour of Adam”, the main character (a Christian Ethiopian boy) delivers a profound  plea in favour of all of us having “red skins” against his opponent (a Zionist boy) who opted for a literal interpretation of the Torah (the Old Testament).
• Munich, a feature film based on historical events. After Black September’s assassination of Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics in 1972, Israel’s then Prime Minister Golda Meir sanctions a black-box retaliation. Violence leads to more violence.
• Occupation 101, an award-winning documentary film on the root causes of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Watch the whole film here  on YouTube.  See also www.occupation101.com/
• Paradise Now, feature film on suicide bombers – very insightful.
• Roadmap to Apartheid, an excellent, disturbing yet inspiring documentary describing the Palestinian situation in comparison to the apartheid system in South Africa, released in March 2012.
• Football and barriers.  A Brazilian movie, released in October 2011, on football, the 2010 World Cup in the context of the occupation and militarism.  Brought to my attention by fellow EA/Brazilian football referee, Eduardo Minossi de Oliveira.
