Off Frame AKA Revolution Until Victory

00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,200

Jerusalem, 1930

00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,760

The capital of Palestine

ruled by the British

00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:51,360

There were three quarters of a million Arabs

and 160 000 Jews in the country

00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,080

Berlin, February 1933

00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,200

Hitler had come to power

00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,120

The Jews of Eastern Europe

had always been persecuted

00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,040

The German Jews had not.

00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,400

But under Hitler, anti-Semitism

was to become institutionalized.

00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,400

enshrined in the laws of the State.

00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,480

Their businesses were boycotted, they

were banned from holding important jobs,

00:03:13,640 --> 00:03:15,680

They paid for Germany's economic ills.

00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,400

Jews were no longer free in Germany

00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,120

For exemple… in 1948,

IsraeIis go in the water...

00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,040

towards the Promised Land.

00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,600

Palestinians go in the water to drown.

00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,680

Shot/reverse-shot.

00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,280

Shot/reverse-shot.

00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,400

The Jewish people become fiction.

00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,320

The Palestine people become documentary.

00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,440

June 5th 1967, the new ceasefire lines

00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:10,720

After the occupation by Israel

of Jordan's West Bank with the old city of Jerusalem

00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,040

The consequence

00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:23,160

The resolution of the committee for Palestine was adopted

by 33 votes for and 13 against 10 abstentions.

00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:31,360

The suffering people the Palestine

Arab refugees are struggling for survival

00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:37,200

three quarter of a million displaced human beings

are dependent upon charity for their very existence

00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:47,440

A FILM REPORT ON THE ARAB

REFUGEE PROBLEM FOLLOWING THE HOSTILITIES

IN THE MIDDLE

EAST IN JUNE 1967 SEEN FROM JORDAN

00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,760

In these camps are

scores of thousands of refugees

00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:11,360

HOLY LAND, THEIR FORMER

HOME. THESE ARE THE

FIRST MOTION PICTURES OF THE

PALESTINE ARAB REFUGEES.

00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,640

ALL THESE SCENES ARE ACTUAL AND UNREHEARSED.

00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,600

ALLENBY BRIDGE, JUNE 1967

00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,200

Palestine Films

00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,240

Presents

00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,080

With Soul... With Blood

00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:16,360

Colonial interests that

coincide with Zionists ambitions

00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,480

in our Arab region

00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,440

can be chiefly summed up to 3:

00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:32,560

1. Plundering the Arab world’s wealth,

primarily its oil.

00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,800

2. Guaranteeing economic markets

for their production surplus...

00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:49,120

...as the 100 million Arab consumers

constitute a large market for these products.

00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:56,080

3. The search for a vital space

to invest colonial capital.

00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:29,520

We were pressed to determine

the nature of our conflict

00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,480

with the Israeli enemy.

00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:38,640

Is it a struggle based on class conflict?

00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,920

Is it a struggle of classes

within the Palestinian land?

00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:47,280

Or is it a national struggle

in which the exiled masses

00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:51,360

await their return to the homeland?

00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:56,080

Indeed, the exiled masses of

our people in the refugee camps

00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,440

are waiting to return to their land,

00:12:59,960 --> 00:13:03,840

therefore the only progressive choice possible,

00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,640

is to create a national liberation movement.

00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:06,880

Military communique no. 2928.

00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:14,160

The military spokesman of the Palestinian

armed struggle leadership stated the following:

00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:22,320

Yesterday at 5:30 in the afternoon

after 12 hours of fierce fighting

00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:29,520

in which Fateh and fighters from the Palestinian

Popular Struggle Front participated against the enemy

00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,600

in an area between Dawaymeh and the Naqab

00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:38,120

our fighters successfully provided support

to the rescue forces during the battle.

00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,320

Why do the Palestinian people…

00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,920

Why do the Palestinian people arm themselves?

00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:55,160

Why do the Palestinian people arm themselves?

00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:57,240

Yes?

00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,480

In order to get Palestine back, our homeland.

00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,040

Raise your voice.

00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,160

In order to get Palestine back, our homeland.

00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:09,720

Can the Palestinian people

get Palestine back through negotiations?

00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,160

and meetings at the UN?

00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:14,800

Can we?

00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:15,560

No.

00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,560

Then how can we get Palestine back?

00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,120

With the power of arms.

00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:28,160

What is the revolution’s slogan

for the liberation of Palestine?

00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:29,720

Yes? What is the slogan?

00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,000

Revolution until victory.

00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,960

One of our projects is literacy instruction.

00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:58,800

Through these classes, women

learn how to write and read.

00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,440

and through these classes, they also get

political education about the Palestinian cause.

00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:13,280

It takes a lot of time and effort

to convince women to enter this field.

00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:20,400

Cuba is in Latin America, and this book

is about Marxism and guerrilla warfare,

00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:25,040

and about the experience of

Marxists who led revolutions.

00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:30,680

Like Che Guevara who

wrote about the Cuban experience.

00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:36,120

This is the main thing, that the people's

army is the most important in any revolution.

00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,600

Like with our Palestinian revolution.

00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:49,480

We're waging a people's war and

making progress against imperialism.

00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:59,440

The Cubans went through this kind of war.

They're an example of the people's war.

00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,840

Whatever one does for a living,

00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,320

they need to have a rifle at home.

00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,560

We have all kinds of weapons:

00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:16,880

we have Russian and Chinese rifles.

00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:18,840

Russian "Betiliofs".

100

00:17:19,120 --> 00:17:21,080

We have American and Belgian rifles.

101

00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,320

These weapons were seized

from the Zionist enemy

102

00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:24,280

during a battle.

103

00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,120

Even elders have weapons

that they can handle.

104

00:17:28,360 --> 00:17:30,600

Our survival is bound to the rifle.

105

00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,040

We cover it and keep it warm

so that we can defend ourselves.

106

00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,720

It's okey if I get sick,

but not the rifle.

107

00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:43,640

How do you imagine Palestine?

108

00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,840

Palestine's soil is gold.

109

00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:59,240

We must liberate Palestine and make it

possible to all people to live in peace.

110

00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,680

Jews, Muslims or Christians.

111

00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:06,040

Our war is a war of liberation,

not a war against the Jews.

112

00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:11,120

We don't want to push the jews

into the sea, or anything like that,

113

00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:15,280

we also don't want the Zionists

to push us into the dessert,

114

00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,120

that why we must fight

115

00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,600

My country, my country, my country

116

00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,920

FATAH is a revolution agianst the enemy

117

00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,160

My country, my country, my country

118

00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,480

FATAH is a revolution agianst the enemy

119

00:18:43,360 --> 00:18:47,360

Oh Palestine, the land of the ancestors.

120

00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:51,000

We must return to you one day.

121

00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:25,840

I'd be thrilled to go to

the Occupied Territories, that's my wish.

122

00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:34,200

I am compelled by my profound faith

in this mission, to liberate the holy land.

123

00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:40,560

Personally, I don't like killing.

124

00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,720

If I penetrate the Occupied

Territory, I'll confront the enemy,

125

00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,440

And I might kill, or be killed.

126

00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:53,600

It’s not for the sake of killing,

it's for peace. That's why we fight.

127

00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,520

We wait and wait for a long time, from 48

128

00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:20,040

so we think that it's our duty

129

00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:30,400

to carry our arms and to fight

130

00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:34,360

We are obliged to fight

131

00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,320

We don’t like fight, war

132

00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:56,040

but a person who's been kicked out from his home

is obliged, and he has the right to fight.

133

00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:01,160

KARAMEH

134

00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:28,520

The zionist attack was made by almost 10 000 men,

we were 450.

135

00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,360

We fought for 15 hours

136

00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,080

Their tanks ran out of gas.

137

00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:36,880

We blocked all the roads.

138

00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,040

They had many wounded

and finally they retreated

139

00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:47,040

This is a turning point

in the history of al Fatah revolutionaries

140

00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:52,960

a turning point in the history of the arab Nation.

141

00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:57,320

The first confrontation that we did and we win

142

00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,880

After the battle, all the Palestinians

heard about Karameh

143

00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,240

Thousands wanted to join the movement

144

00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:11,480

and fight to return to Palestine

145

00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,440

What did you do before you joined al Fatah?

146

00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:19,200

I had been working as a clerk

in an electric machine company,

147

00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,720

And why did you join al Fatah?

148

00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:29,960

Because I want to do my best to fight the Israeli army

to get back my country, Palestine.

149

00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,600

How many years do you think you will have to fight?

150

00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:41,800

It doesn't matter. 3, 4, 5, 10...

My children will be big and fight instead of me.

151

00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:55,240

No fighter would face such a military machine

like the one the Israelis have got

152

00:26:56,120 --> 00:27:00,920

unless such a fighter has a great cause to fight for.

153

00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:13,240

Our great love to our country

is greater than our hatred to our enemy.

154

00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:15,960

and that's why we shall win

155

00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:36,640

Today nothing remains in al-Karameh,

neither houses nor streets.

156

00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:45,240

But this rubble is the symbol of resistance

of a new will that will not surrender,

157

00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:49,720

the will to fight and die

for human dignity and for a homeland.

158

00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,040

From this side of the river,

there are no longer refugees

159

00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,480

only peasants who are now fighters,

160

00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:17,760

determined to reclaim their identity as

a Palestinian nation and as Palestinian people.

161

00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:39,160

What a strange thing a country

called Palestine with no Palestinians in it.

162

00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:47,960

John Foster Dulles, one of the men responsible for the

invasion of the US in Vietnam was rather clear about it.

163

00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:56,160

He said: as for the Palestinians, the older ones

will die, and the young ones will forget.

164

00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:00,920

That's the link.

165

00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:04,080

The link is not only related to Palestine,

166

00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,600

with which we feel

a deep bond of solidarity,

167

00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:09,800

it's not only about street protest

168

00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:10,920

and chanting:

169

00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:16,640

"Palestinian people are victims,

Palestinian people will prevail".

170

00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:21,160

Solidarity is a struggle

against all forms of capitalism

171

00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:22,920

this is our reality here,

172

00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,520

we know well that the struggle

against all forms of capitalism

173

00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,880

widens the scope of the workers’

liberation movements

174

00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:32,040

and of Palestinians as well.

175

00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:35,920

We're not revolutionaries

who sit in room with a glass of whiskey!

176

00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,120

We are revolutionaries by our actions.

177

00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:42,240

When we undertake actions locally, we know

they have an international dimension.

178

00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:55,440

During the spring of 1970, Godard toured America

accompanied by Jean-Pierre Gorin

179

00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,680

another member of the Dziga Vertov film group.

180

00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:05,760

The tour was undertaken in order to finance

the completion of their latest film Until Victory

181

00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:10,560

or methods of thinking and methods

of work in the Palestinian revolution

182

00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:28,720

In 1968 was the battle of Karameh, the first victory

over Israel ever achieved by Arab people.

183

00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:33,480

and not by a regular army

but by the Palestinian fighters

184

00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:37,520

about 500 Palestinian fighters in the Karameh village

185

00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:47,280

and after that, through the victory of Karameh,

we present the struggle of the Palestinian people

186

00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:52,920

as a new political and revolutionary

fact in the Middle East

187

00:33:53,920 --> 00:34:04,800

The people's army can only continue to go on

if there's a creative element of the people inside the army.

188

00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:14,160

But if there is no political work,

the armed struggle is just a usual military activity.

189

00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,800

So it means it's not really a people's war.

190

00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:24,520

JORDAN

SEPTEMBER 1970

191

00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:36,560

DOWN WITH IMPERIALISM, ZIONISM & ISRAEL

192

00:34:55,680 --> 00:35:00,520

By september 1970, our revolution gained

support among the Arab people.

193

00:35:01,240 --> 00:35:03,720

Jordan was our main base against Zionism.

194

00:35:04,240 --> 00:35:07,760

The US government began to send money

to the regime in Jordan

195

00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:11,240

not to fight Zionism

but to attack the revolution.

196

00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:43,400

Today September 17th, units of the Royal Jordanian Army

surrounded all refugee camps in and around the capital of Amman

197

00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:49,640

The army began shelling the camps at 5am

Thousands of innocent people are injured

198

00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:53,240

as a result of heavy artillery and grenades.

199

00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,160

We did a very important thing.

200

00:39:50,240 --> 00:39:53,880

we created a new people,

201

00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:58,920

Instead of being refugees, to be fighters,

202

00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:01,000

This is very important,

203

00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,600

we were refugees, homeless..

204

00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:09,240

we became now fighters, freedom fighters.

205

00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:13,800

and next stage, you will see..

206

00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:18,880

All together, 17 people were slaughtered yesterday

207

00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:22,760

2 in the Olympic village, and the other 15

in the shoot out of the airport

208

00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:27,200

I said before, we have to identify the bodies,

209

00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:29,480

they are still somewhere,

210

00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:33,360

and then arrange the coffins

and take them back home

211

00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:35,920

Parents are waiting, and wives are waiting, so...

212

00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:43,520

President Nixon directs the secretary of the state

213

00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:46,680

to consult with other nations on

the international security measures

214

00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:48,000

against terrorists.

215

00:40:48,240 --> 00:40:51,040

and both houses of congress by unanimous vote,

216

00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:55,240

adopt the resolution calling for world isolation

of any nation encouraging...

217

00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:08,360

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

218

00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:10,440

The suspense continues in Munich.

219

00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:13,080

We've never seen this here before.

220

00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,840

We've had an incredibly intense day.

221

00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:20,800

The 'Hitchcock' scenarios

have long been out of date,

222

00:41:21,240 --> 00:41:24,200

the most nervous now

are the Arab commandos.

223

00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:26,800

Hello, Jerusalem

224

00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:30,800

Philosopher Louis Leprince-Ringuet,

225

00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:33,440

what do events like these mean?

226

00:41:35,240 --> 00:41:39,480

This event inspires diverse thoughts

227

00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:43,360

it's an exceptional and

extraordinary event.

228

00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:46,160

We've witnessed several attacks.

229

00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:49,280

We are living in

a world that is harsh.

230

00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:53,960

Is it a positive thing that the

whole world can witness such events?

231

00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:57,280

It's admirable,

because of the sense of community

232

00:41:57,680 --> 00:41:59,840

that emerges because of such events,

233

00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:02,200

and also because of some tragedies.

234

00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:07,760

German Police Open Fire

After Fedayeen Bomb Airliner

235

00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:21,000

Ein Rumanneh Attack: 30 killed and many wounded

236

00:42:25,240 --> 00:42:28,120

Air Raid on Beirut; SAM-7 missiles

Destroy Israeli Jet

237

00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:39,280

The names of the martyrs and the wounded

238

00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:50,920

Palestine Films

239

00:42:53,240 --> 00:42:54,760

Presents

240

00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:02,960

Zionest Aggression

241

00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:37,680

Today I have come to you, Mr. President

242

00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:41,880

bearing an olive branch in one hand,

243

00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:45,280

and a freedom fighter's gun in the other.

244

00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:50,440

Do not let the green olive branch fall from my hand.

245

00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:55,040

Do not let the green olive branch fall from my hand.

246

00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:58,960

Do not let the green olive branch fall from my hand.

247

00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:27,200

What happened to the last shot?

248

00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:32,840

It is probable that

he filmed the moment of his death,

249

00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:35,720

but this shot was destroyed,

250

00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:39,080

because the film was exposed when

the camera was damaged in the shelling.

251

00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:40,760

Other shots too.

252

00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:43,280

The shots you are watching now

253

00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:47,160

we left them exactly as they are, unedited.

254

00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:48,880

Exactly as we found them.

255

00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:28,920

To all heroic fighters

struggeling for thier right of return

256

00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:31,440

To all the heroes...

257

00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:33,680

To all revolutionaries.

258

00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:36,200

I write these words from the bottom of my heart

259

00:50:37,240 --> 00:50:39,680

to reach the heart of souls

260

00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:42,200

we share our paths

261

00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:43,640

until victory...

262

00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:46,400

signed by Yasser Arafat

263

00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:50,320

1st of Spetember, 1977

264

00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:56,240

What are your thoughts after the being injured?

265

00:51:56,840 --> 00:52:00,000

When we joined the revolution,

we were sure that some of us

266

00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:01,960

would be injured and martyred.

267

00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:06,960

We are prepared for this,

we knew from the start all these difficulties.

268

00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:09,640

We are determined to continue.

269

00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:12,120

Nothing that will change that.

270

00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:16,640

We are shooting this film

for Europeans.

271

00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:18,960

Would you like to say something to them?

272

00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:23,120

We thank them and all,

and the world's progressive movements,

273

00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:25,560

for their interest in our cause.

274

00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:31,080

Through the collaboration of progressive

275

00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:34,760

and revolutionary movements

276

00:52:35,240 --> 00:52:38,560

we can overcome Zionist propaganda.

277

00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:42,400

Our cause is just, there is no doubt about that.

278

00:52:42,720 --> 00:52:45,360

As soon as they know this,

they will stand with us

279

00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:47,440

against Zionist lies.

280

00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:51,600

We are living in a revolution

281

00:52:53,240 --> 00:53:00,280

where we are always subjected

to destruction and death, to bombardments

282

00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:06,840

and every time we have to start again

we have to build again

283

00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:20,160

and we are a little bit sure that what we build will be

subjected to bombardments and destruction again

284

00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:28,560

but this will only make us stronger

until we achieve our goal

285

00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:07,160

Ramallah Palestine

286

00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:23,960

We keep saying, our mother is the land.

287

00:56:25,040 --> 00:56:28,520

- Which land, Nada?

- The Land of Palestine.

288

00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:31,440

The land of Palestine, Hamza.

289

00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:34,800

- What does Palestine mean to you, Hamza?

- It means a lot to me.

290

00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:40,360

It means a lot to you, excellent.

291

00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:43,720

- Do you love war or peace?

- Peace!

292

00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:46,600

Excellent, we all love peace.

293

00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:47,680

Applause!

294

00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:51,320

We all love peace.

295

00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:54,040

But we all love peace with dignity.

296

00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:57,840

After the Israeli invasion to Lebanon in 1982

297

00:56:57,920 --> 00:57:02,760

most of the films made by

the Palestinian Revolution were lost.

298

00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:09,520

Who can tell me the name of one of the

martyrs of the Palestinian revolution?

299

00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:11,880

...Arafat.

300

00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:22,320

Today, my dear students, I've heard news over

the radio that upset me. It gave me sorrow.

301

00:57:22,600 --> 00:57:27,680

There was an attack on a Jewish school in France.

302

00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:33,120

we do not accept that, but, and what a coincidence,

303

00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:44,760

today, at 10:00, the caskets containing the bodies

of the deceased in France will arrive at Tel Aviv.

304

00:57:45,240 --> 00:57:51,240

On the other hand, our president's

will to be buried in Jerusalem

305

00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:54,480

was denied.

306

00:57:55,800 --> 00:57:58,200

Most of the images in this film

307

00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:02,280

come for copies sent to international

film festivals before the 1982 Israeli invasion.

308

00:58:03,200 --> 00:58:08,920

Who wishes for the establishment

of the State of Palestine?

309

00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:16,280

Excellent. I want you all to raise your hands.

And I too wish to have a state.

310

00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:25,600

A state and a passport that enables one to travel and

come back, and to have institutions and dignity.

311

00:58:26,480 --> 00:58:32,120

The original prints of these films

remain lost to this day
