Rachel Beitarie, Director of the Israeli human rights organization Zochrot, discusses the successes and challenges in transforming Israeli society from within towards acknowledgement of the Palestinian nakba and ethnic cleansing as part of the consequences of the creation of a Jewish-only nation state.
Looted and Hidden investigates the cinematic and other archival treasures that Israel plundered from various Palestinian visual and research institutions in Beirut in the 1980s. The film follows four historical figures who are involved in the fate of these Palestinian archives. Based entirely on archival materials, extensive research, and interviews with the individuals it portrays, this film exposes, for the first time, Palestinian materials that were erased deliberately from the public sphere by Israel and were, for many years, presumed to have been “lost.”
Barely a week has passed and you’ve screwed things up, Donald Trump. The reason is simple: You didn’t consult Israel on how to deny entry into your country without rousing half the world against you. But when it comes to your other promise – actual expulsion – you still have time to consult us.

You might be thinking what can the chalk outline of a body and some rural green landscape possibly have in common. The answer: these images both depict crime scenes. If that seems very obvious for the picture on the right, but not for the image on the left, that is precisely the point. A great deal of effort has gone into hiding the crime on the left.
