Understanding Palestine Means Understanding British Colonialism with Annemarie Jacir

from The Bitchuation Room · host Francesca Fiorentini

Go see Palestine 36. Before the U,S, it was Britain that helped shape Zionism into the colonial force it is. Palestine 36, a new film from Watermelon Pictures, dramatizes a pivotal moment in the country, when Palestinians rose up en masse against British partition and the loss of their land to  Zionist forces. A hundred years later, the song remains the same. Filmmaker Annemarie Jacir joins Francesca to talk about what her moving piece of historical fiction tells us about early colonialism of Palestine, and how anti-Arab racism has always been central to the program of ethnic cleansing.  Featuring:  Annemarie Jacir, writer & director https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1486975/ https://palestine36film.com/ *** Rock the pod on your bod.
