Israel’s Outrage by The Palestinian Movie Farha Points to Its Ongoing Hypocrisy – And Oppression

How dehumanised should a group of people be so they’re not even seen as someone who can have a life somewhere?

Following that question: are we allowed to acknowledge that Palestinians didn’t become refugees out of nowhere?

Well, Israeli groups and their supporters don’t seem to think so. Therefore, they seem to be outraged by Farha, a Palestinian movie that depicts the violence by Zionist forces that killed and pushed Palestinians out of their homes when the state of Israel was created.

In my video, I invite you to notice how ironic Israel’s outrage is when that violence is still prevalent in Palestinian lives to this day.
