Thread of our most important work on Palestine—must-watch episodes for #PalestineDay: beginning with the untold history
When @AbbyMartin asked random Israelis in Jerusalem about Palestinians, she got disturbing responses:
We went inside the hotbeds of Israeli settler terrorism, and met with the survivors of the brutal Duma arson attack
See what it’s like in Palestine’s refugee camps with @AbbyMartin & @HarrabicTubman
We hear a lot about Israeli settlement expansion; @AbbyMartin went to the front lines to see and hear exactly how it’s happening
Abby’s interview with Ahed Tamimi, as well as her younger brother, about a year before her arrest and long imprisonment made her an international icon
Abby visited camps in Israel used to warehouse African refugees fleeing genocide; and hears from Ethiopian Jews about the deep racism they are subjected to by Israeli society
Palestinians endure mass incarceration under the the rule of a military dictatorship, where even waving a flag is criminalized. @AbbyMartin meets with one of the most important legal orgs in Palestine fighting this oppression and gets all the details
A former Israeli combat soldier’s explosive tell-all with @AbbyMartin on how he ended up taking the side of the Palestinian struggle
Finally, please be sure to watch our feature-length film on Gaza & the Great March of Return; free on @means_tv or here. Free Palestine! vimeo.com/ondemand/gazaf…

Appreciation Thread: Meet our dedicated team who made #GazaFightsForFreedom possible through tireless, extremely difficult (and often dangerous) work!
Of course we have Director @AbbyMartin & Producer @MikePrysner, who wrote the film together, contributes to editing and obsessed over every second of the film (maybe a little too much) 😊
Unfortunately our co-producer in Gaza, who we were on the phone with everyday from the day the idea was first proposed, does not want his name or image used because he fears retaliation by the Israeli state. “They will never let me leave Gaza if I do,” he said.
