#714: Drama Gaza

Editorial scouts.ro ... Probabil ca drama din Gaza este pentru noi asemanatoare cu un film de razboi, e dincolo de ecran. Stam in fotoliu, mincam pop-corn si comentam. Dincolo de ideologii, de interese politice si economice, MOR COPII si CIVILI acolo. Da, ei devin niste cifre, zilele trecute erau 200 de copii ucisi, azi sint 410, patru sute zece, (cam citi copii invata intr-o scoala gimnaziala sau citi au participat la crosul de anul trecut din parc). Fiecare dintre acesti copii care mor are parinti, bunici, prieteni. In acest razboi adultii uita ca URA NASTE URA si ca cei ramasi in viata, (fie si unul singur), vor avea resentimente intotdeauna impotriva celor care i-au ucis prietenii, parintii, fratii. Fiecare zi in plus de razboi adinceste aceasta ura, care nu aduce nimic bun niciuneia dintre partile din conflict. Stiati ca cercetasi sint in toate tarile? Putem face o lume mai buna? Poate ar fi bine ca macar sa incercam. Deschideti ochii si priviti si mai departe decit in jurul vostru. Si puneti-va o clipa in locul acelor copii, care traiesc zilnic cu gindul ca miine nu vor mai fi. Copii din ambele tari in conflict. Conflict al adultilor! Apoi veti intelege.

PS: istoria este ciclica, doar actorii se schimba: ce inseamna frica in razboi puteti vedea si in filmul The Island of Bird Street http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119389/ Si sa mai intelegem ca niciodata nu vom fi feriti de a fi parte dintr-un razboi, azi poti iesi cu prietena la cofetarie iar miine sa nu mai gasesti sa bei un pahar cu apa!

A thought-provoking and powerful documentary film on the current and historical root causes of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Unlike any other film ever produced on the conflict -- 'Occupation 101' presents a comprehensive analysis of the facts and hidden truths surrounding the never ending controversy and dispels many of its long-perceived myths and misconceptions.
The film also details life under Israeli military rule, the role of the United States in the conflict, and the major obstacles that stand in the way of a lasting and viable peace. The roots of the conflict are explained through first-hand on-the-ground experiences from leading Middle East scholars, peace activists, journalists, religious leaders and humanitarian workers whose voices have too often been suppressed in American media outlets.
The film covers a wide range of topics -- which include -- the first wave of Jewish immigration from Europe in the 1880's, the 1920 tensions, the 1948 war, the 1967 war, the first Intifada of 1987, the Oslo Peace Process, Settlement expansion, the role of the United States Government, the second Intifada of 2000, the separation barrier and the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, as well as many heart wrenching testimonials from victims of this tragedy.
