Netflix's Farha: Nakba film resonates with Palestinians globally

Netflix's Farha: Nakba film resonates with Palestinians globally: Thousands of people have praised the film for its depiction of the Nakba and shared their own family's story of being forced to flee Palestine

Annie's Notes:

 In 1948 armed Zionist invaders, seeking to usurp Palestinian homes and lands for Jewish immigrants, intentionally terrorized the native non-Jewish men, women and children of historic Palestine.  

Many Palestinians were murdered, many more fled, thinking it was only a temporary situation...  Those armed Zionist invaders in shaping their preferred "Jewish State" created a massive refugee crisis that continues on today as racist Israel refuses to respect the Palestinian refugees' inalienable legal and moral right to return to their original homes and lands.      

UN Resolution 194 of 1948 demands that Israel needs to respect the Palestinian Refugees Right of Return. 

However, armed Zionists continue to persecute, impoverish, oppress, and murder Palestinians, exasperating religious extremism all through out the region, starting with Israel's own state funded Jewish "scholars" & settlers.

Meanwhile here in the West, America's elected leaders, many churches, mainstream newspapers, official tweets, news programs, and celebrities basically ignore this tragic situation. Our own hard earned tax dollars are diverted away from our own country's needs to buy more perks and privileges, and weapons, for racist Israel.

Israel is REAL RACISM, not just hurt feelings.  

 Palestinian Refugees (1948-NOW) refused their right to return... and their right to live in peace free from religious bigotry and injustice.

Refugees, Borders & Jerusalem
"Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home - so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any maps of the world. Yet they are the world of the individual person; the neighborhood he lives in; the school or college he attends; the factory, farm, or office where he works. Such are the places where every man, woman, and child seeks equal justice, equal opportunity, equal dignity without discrimination. Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere. Without concerted citizen action to uphold them close to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world."Eleanor Roosevelt

UN Resolution 194 from 1948 : The refugees wishing to return to their homes and live at peace with their neighbours should be permitted to do so at the earliest practicable date, and that compensation should be paid for the property of those choosing not to return and for loss of or damage to property which, under principles of international law or in equity, should be made good by the Governments or authorities responsible


  • All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.
The Golden Rule... Do unto others as you would have them do unto you

 Live by the Golden Rule
