JVP Boston monthly film screening
In 1948, the western part of the city fell under Israeli control; in 1967, the eastern part fell under Israeli occupation. Since then, Israel has pursued a policy of Judaizing the city, aiming to achieve “Jewish demographic superiority.” Part of this policy is to drive Palestinian Muslims and Christians out of the city.
Jerusalem: the East Side Story (2008) takes you on a journey exposing Israel’s policy to gain supremacy over the city and its inhabitants. It also touches on the future of the city: Jerusalem is the key to peace; without Jerusalem, there is no peace for anyone. The film includes interviews with Palestinian and Israeli leaders, human rights activists and political analysts.
Space is limited. RSVP for directions to jvpboston@gmail.com.
