The anarchist film collective 'a-films' announces another short film from Nahr al-Bared Refugee Camp in North Lebanon.

The first few hundred Palestinian families were allowed to return to their destroyed or damaged homes at the outskirts of Nahr al-Bared Camp in winter 2007/08. They faced a very difficult situation. Many of them lost their homes and most of their property was either destroyed or stolen.
This short video documents the refugee's experiences once they returned to their camp and their efforts to deal with their new reality.

This victory is a matter for celebation now , inspiring  the anti-war anti-imperialist poor peoples of the third  world..

 The Americans  will fight to preserve their own empire to the last drop of stupid expansionist Zionist blood .

It is seventeen years since America and Britain embarked on their 'Final Solution' for the population of Iraq.

Isreal seems to be attempting to recreate the conditions of the Warsaw ghetto in Gaza only on a bigger scale.
One of the myths of the second world war is that the Jewish peoples did not fight back against the Fascists and their racist extermination programmes.
The Warsaw uprising puts the lie to that.
Wherever there is oppression there is always peoples resistance.

350,000 people escape and Hamas claims great victory for Allah

-- Hamas militants blew 15 holes in a security fence separating the Gaza Strip and Egypt, enabling thousands of Palestinians to leave the blockaded enclave to search for food and supplies.

Dear friends,

The people of Gaza are being squeezed to death. This week's blackouts have finally reached the attention of the world -- and the international community could help end the blockade. Our obligation is clear. This isn't about Israel vs Palestine or Hamas vs Fatah: this is about 1.5 million human beings locked up in the biggest prison on earth. The siege of Gaza is a collective punishment violating international law, and far from ensuring Israel's security, it is only stoking rage and desperation.

A near imperialist  gunboat  war against Iran because of a  fabricated incident  ? The US navy now says:   Blame it on a mysterious  “Philippino Monkey”

The jihad waged by Muslims against US imperialism has many fronts and Muslims of different types.  Shia and Sunni being the main general religious divisions   . Some of these religious differences are seen in the west as being only along  different national or racially based lines  .

The CIA, Bush, the Pentagon, and US are absolutely hopeless and incompetent at creating Iranian war justifications.

They have falsely cried wolf so many times that every time they even open their mouth   mostly everybody now   knows it is lies.

 Can Bush's  new "roadmap'  for colonialism ,turn palestine ,into a cheap labour openly ruled  colony?
I looked  to what some communists say about that.

Colonial oppression of Palestine.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - Gaza's Hamas rulers issued an edict Wednesday banning journalists from working in the coastal strip unless they submit to sweeping press restrictions, and it said it would soon impose new restraints on public gatherings.

In May 2007 Nahr al Bared Refugee Camp, home to over 40,000 Palestinian refugees, became the site of a 4-month battle between the Lebanese Army and extremist group Fatah al-Islam.

During this time over 40 civilians, 167 soldiers and over 200 Fatah al-Islam members were killed. 40,000 refugees were displaced. From the official end of the battle, in early September, until the 10th of October the camp was under exclusive Lebanese army control.

The anarchist video collective "a-films" announces the release of two short films dealing with the situation of the Palestinian refugees who where forced out of the meanwhile totally destroyed Nahr al-Bared Refugee Camp in North Lebanon. After the fighting between the Lebanese army and Fatah al-Islam fighters had ended, the refugees still weren't allowed to return to the ruins of the camp, while the Lebanese army as well as civilians looted what was left of Nahr al-Bared.
