Watch @AbbyMartin interview Israelis in West Jerusalem.

It's not just ultra-religious, extremist settlers who use the language of genocide against Palestinians.

[Full video: ]
Their official government spokespeople don’t speak much differently than this on US media:
After hearing these people talk, imagine how Israeli military & police think. The same ones patrolling Palestinian streets, running checkpoints, raiding their homes, serving demolition orders, controlling every aspect of their daily life, etc
To clarify something about this video for the doubters: These are not cherry-picked. We spent hours in Jerusalem interviewing random people on the street—young & old, religious & secular, Israeli born & US born—ALL of them made it in the full video. All of them sounded like this.
Furthermore, while this is what we heard spending 3hrs in Jerusalem, to contrast we spent a month in the occupied West Bank & never heard anything remotely close to this rhetoric from Palestinians. They just spoke about wanting equal rights and freedom from Israeli military rule.
You can see here that IDF soldiers have the same ideology as the people Abby interviewed. “Kill the Arabs” while laughing isn’t hyperbole
Watch @AbbyMartin’s feature film, made in collaboration with a team of heroic Gaza journalists, that exposes Israel like never before:

In support of #SaveSheikhJarrah we have permanently removed the paywall from our feature documentary ‘Gaza Fights For Freedom.’ We hope it helps educate more people about the terrible crimes against Palestinians & builds broader solidarity with their cause
We planned on removing the paywall once we recouped the cost of making the film, but decided the content is more important. If you’d like to contribute to this project, donate to our Patreon [link in bio] or via PayPal at PayPal.me/empirefiles
We are also still selling DVDs, HD digital downloads of the film, the soundtrack, and versions with Arabic & Spanish subtitles at GazaFightsForFreedom.com

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

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.
