Synopsis


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.

Ah yeah, I have this, haven't watched it yet. Saw only the first couple of minutes and like the beginning, though.
 
Sorry Guys,

Wasn't around for a while.

I found lot of good stuffs on Torrent which discuss on personal and social welness.
I will show the path for such great knowledge. Insha Allah let all of us get utilized...
 
I saw this video a while ago. one of the best. there are a few other ones as well, some focus directly on the media relations with Israel. Also there is one recently where a reporter talks about the recent massacre that happened in Gaza at the end of 2008 early 2009, and he documents how reporters were reglegated to a hill miles and miles away from Gaza.
 
Insha'allah, the west will open their eyes on the truth by comprehending that they are absolutly not the peace makers. Let's just review the history of the world, esp. the middle east: our lands are bombed! we're driven outta our homes! we're forced to adapt their customs! Who set up the Taliban? Did not the US support them to fight against the Russians? They were called fredom fighters! now they're terrorists! Who set up Saddam Husain? and we can go on and there will be so many examples! Just think of mokka for a moment! We may love mokka to drink! but what about the city of Mokka which was destroyed by french and britain!

Salaam Bro,

I think i found the link to video which you are referring. But let me download and check it before i post more details and link about the video.

it seems to run for 48 mins
 
Brasco - Yep,let's review the history of the world especially the Middle East. Where do you want to start?

In the 7th century when muslims surged out of Arabia and conquered the Christian lands of Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria,Morocco, Southern Spain, Southern France, Southern Italy, Greece, the Balkans, Hungary,Turkey and the once Christian lands we now know as Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, the Holy Lands and Jordan? Plus Zoroastrian Persia, Hindu/Bhuddist India and Afghanistan. They not only conquered these countries, they Islamicised them. The millions slain in these wars would not have thought of the muslims as peacemakers. Castles of skulls in India - over 70 million slain according to muslim records.

Don't think for one moment that people ever forget these things.

Do you know how many battles were fought to ensure Islam did not capture any more of Europe than it already had and how many men died to achieve this? Lepant (Italy) Tours( France) and the major one in 1450, The Gates of Vienna in Austria.

Do you know how many Christian children were taken to be converted and serve in the Islamic armies - thousands, every year.

OK - back to the Middle East. In the first World War 1918 the Ottoman Empire voluntarily entered the battle on the side of the Germans who, as we know, lost the war to the British and the French. The muslims had no major cause to enter the war - noone had attacked them but by doing so they lost the lands of the Middle East which had comprised the Ottoman Empire. You know - Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Jordan. Israel and Palestine were actually in the area called Southern Syria when ruled by the Ottomans. They then became Britain and France's lands to do what they wanted with. The muslims lost them, just as the Christians/Jews lost theirs to the muslims many years before. And, furthermore, we did not try to make you Christians or dhimmis!

So - in every battle against the non muslims, Islam was the aggressor and while you watch videos made by people who want you to believe that you are the good guys, read some history and reflect on Islams past, then think about what you have just written. And think about which civilization has progressed and which civilization has regressed and stagnated.

The more educated muslims and Westerners are completely aware of this history. I can only think that you are very young and naive and have yet to do your GSCE in world history. Until you come to terms with your past you will never go forward. Watching videos like this do not educate you, they intentionally make a bad situation worse by making you see muslims as victims and entrapping you in a never ending 'badly done by' syndrome. Not good for your mental health.

It just shows me how narrow-minded, uneducated, naive you are!! It is you, who has to do your GSCE in world history! Not in pro-western world history!

You forgot a few points, the British took Egypt, Sudan and the small states of the Persian Gulf. France seized Algeria and Morocco ( 1798). All in all, it is a 900 year history of Western involvement in the Middle East.

Ah, and do you know in the late 11th century, the pope of rome declared a crusade to take Jerusalem from the Arabs? In just a few yeary they seized the city by slaughtering the muslim and jewish inhabitants!

And think about colonialism! Salavery! :) It seems you really need to do your GSCE in world history! :)

Peace be with you


P.s: You should read history of both sites! No human was forced to become a muslim! :)
 
Brasco - yes, I forgot about the crusades, I was generalizing too much. They were organised to regain the Christian Holy Sites because the muslims were preying on the Christian pilgrims and barring them from entry.

Colonialism and slavery. What else was the conquering of all those lands by Islam but colonialism! It was fine when Islam did it, but when the Europeans did it, it was wrong.

Slavery. Still practiced by Islam. Muslim Mauritania - over half a million indentured slaves. Slavery is codified in the Quran.

All in all it has been 1300 years of Islamic aggression and expansion in the Mediterranean, Southern Europe and India.

My post was too generalised, I did not go into minor facts like the muslims faring as far as Iceland and Ireland (where a whole village disappeared, taken by muslim slave traders) I was just contending that Islam was colonising other countries long before the west did.

You talk about a 900 year involvement in the Middle East - the Europeans were there for two short periods (the Crusades) until the 1800s - they were not there for nine continuous centuries whereas Islam dug in and stayed in Christian/Jewish/Hindu/Bhuddist countries for thirteen centuries! Major, major difference!


I have actually studied Islamic and pre-Islamic history and am a long way past the GSCE stage and having lived in Islamic countries I am certainly not naive. You ever lived anywhere else but UK?

I suggest you investigate Islam a bit more, if you do not believe that Christian boys were not taken from Europe as janissarys you do not know your history. And yes I have read many muslim sources as well as western sources.

The first book we studied was the Quran (what an eye opener, to think in this day people still subscribe to a 7th century mindset) and of course, the Ibn Ishaq's biography, the ahadiths and wars of Mohammed ,the first four caliphs, Tabari etc. and on and on until the present day. Not a pretty picture but then neither were some of the Christian countries. And dont try and fob me off with quotes from the Old Testament because Christianity/Judaism relegated that to the past years ago, it is irrelevant and read only for its historical content.

The overview being that Islam was a militant aggressive ideology which is still mentally instilled in the more uneducated countries and altho' Europe was also guilty of colonialism it left the lands it occupied and did not try to instill its Christian faith in the indigenous peoples e.g. Malaysia, Indonesia, India.

Too many countries today are still suffering aggression and ethnic cleansing because of Islam e.g. Nigeria, Mindanao (southern Phillipines), southern Thailand, Algeria - the list is endless. Sectarian violence in Islam are causing horrendous suffering in muslim countries and their treatment of non muslims is medievil. Islamic terrorism still infects the world - the only religion to kill foreign innocents, what have the Irish, New Zealanders, Fijians etc. ever done to Islam that they should lose their lives because muslims seem to be unable to cope with the modern world?

Do you want to review the genocide of the Christian Armenians in the early 1900s.
One and a half million - killed by the Ottoman muslims.

The Palestinians have certainly suffered (more because of what their Arab brothers have done to them rather than the Israelis) but they have never been massacred in the way muslims have massacred non muslims.

So now we know that the muslims conquered the Holy Land, then many centuries later the non muslims reconquered it, but Islam are the ones who will not let go of what originally was not theirs anyway and because their religion says it is Waqf. Unfortunately International law trumps Islamic law and the notion that once a muslim land, always a muslim land belongs to the middle ages. QED
 
Oh please...is there any institution which has killed and oppressed more people than the Catholic Church.
 
The Catholic Church certainly were no angels, but they have nothing on Islam!

Don't be delusional. If you count the number of Jews, Protestants, heretics, witches, pagans, Muslims, and other non-Catholic Christians that were victims undoubtedly it is in the hundreds of millions...sorry no institution was more intolerant and oppressive than the Catholic Church.
 
Yes, but the Catholic Church did not have armies colonising non Catholic lands. The Phillipines and South America were colonised by Spain whose Catholic priests conducted the conversions, witch hunts etc. - it cannot possibly be compared to Islam.

Armies were not killing, plundering,raping and converting people under the banner of Catholocism - only the muslim armies did this, under the banner of Islam.

The Crusades - yes, they fought under the Christian Cross.

But hundreds of millions killed by the Roman Catholics - could you point me to a source that could confirm this?
