BADIL’S 1998 VIDEO DOCUMENTARY NOW AVAILABLE IN ENGLISH AND ARABIC!

Yoom ilak, Yoom aleik
Palestinian Refugees - Jerusalem 1948 - Heritage, Eviction & Hope

The future? Of course, Israel is strong now.
But things change, no? As we say, yoom ilak, yoom aleik.
         -- Ruqaya al-Khalidi, Jerusalem 

This film is based on three years of research on the circumstances of Palestinian eviction from the New City (now West Jerusalem) conducted in cooperation with the Institute for Jerusalem Studies. It covers the events in Jerusalem and major villages to its south and west in the period between the 1947 UN Partition Resolution and the first truce between the Arab and Israeli forces in June 1948. The film challenges the major myths surrounding the war of 1948 that resulted in Israeli statehood and Palestinian exile. The film aims, on the one hand, to explain the historical complexity of the Palestinian Nakba in 1948, and provide insight into the diversity of the Palestinian refugee experiences since then.
