A gem of a short film.

Super Rare Short Film "Le Bateau de l'Exil" (The Ship of Exile) 1982 - with English Subs

Lebanese Director/film maker, Jocelyne Saab where she captures the historic departure of Yasser Arafat and the PLO from Beirut following the Israeli siege. The film documents their journey aboard the ship Atlantis toward Greece and Tunisia, featuring rare interviews where Arafat reflects on his destiny and the future of the Palestinian cause amidst an atmosphere of melancholic uncertainty.

Synopsis & Context

Historical Setting:
The film serves as a "hopeful coda" to Saab’s Beirut trilogy, documenting the moment Palestinian forces left Lebanon in 1982.

Unique Access:
Having gained the trust of the PLO leadership, Saab was one of the few journalists—and in some accounts, the only one—authorized to travel on the Atlantis.

Atmosphere:
The documentary contrasts the reality of military retreat with a surreal, almost "pleasure cruise" atmosphere, where fighters and leadership assessed an uncertain future.

Key Subjects:
It provides an intimate look at Yasser Arafat after his time in hiding, capturing his thoughts on the lost battle and the ongoing war.

In just one day:

- Canada rejected visas for the leadership of the Palestinian Football Association to attend the annual FIFA Congress in Vancouver, where it intended to challenge FIFA's obscene position that "the final legal status of the West Bank remains an unresolved and highly complex matter under public international law”;

- The French parliament began deliberations on legislation that would outlaw criticism of Israel and make such criticism a criminal offence (the deliberations were suspended at the last moment);

- The French government denied entry to @SJabaren , the head of the most prominent Palestinian human rights organisation in the West Bank.

As the article below makes clear, Zionism is a totalitarian movement, whose future now depends on crushing and punishing any and every form of scrutiny, debate, discussion, and dissent.

⭕️ Israel has not prosecuted a single killing of a Palestinian civilian in the West Bank since 2020, Guardian analysis finds

No Israeli soldier, police officer, or settler has been charged for killing a Palestinian civilian in the occupied West Bank since the start of this decade, a Guardian review of legal data and public records shows. At least 1,100 Palestinian civilians have been killed there since 2020, more than a quarter of them children, according to UN data.

Dozens of former Israeli security chiefs, including two former military heads, five former Mossad and Shin Bet directors, and four ex-police commissioners, have signed a letter warning that "almost daily" attacks on Palestinians amount to "organized activity" by people "wearing uniforms, who shoot at innocent people and burn the property and homes of civilians."

They warned that failure to address what they called "Jewish terrorism" poses an existential threat to Israel.

This month alone, Israeli settlers and police killed 10 Palestinian civilians in the West Bank, including a family of four shot in the head, among them brothers aged five and seven, as they returned from a Ramadan shopping trip.

According to legal rights group Yesh Din, between 2020 and 2025:
▪️over 96% of police investigations into settler violence concluded without an indictment
▪️Of 368 cases, only eight ended in full or partial convictions
▪️Palestinians filed 1,746 complaints against Israeli soldiers in the same period, including over 600 related to killings. Less than 1% resulted in charges

Father Manuel Musallam, everyone.

[Mosab Abu Toha @MosabAbuToha]

With all due respect, I am deeply concerned that your message does not mention who killed Fr. Pierre or who killed and wounded the parishioners in the village.
It’s Israel. It is the same state that killed dozens of my relatives, neighbors, and students and leveled my city to the ground in Gaza.

To my knowledge, there is nothing in either your faith or mine that prevents us from naming those responsible for crimes and injustice. Truth and accountability are essential if we are to seek genuine peace.

If I may add one final point: what people in Lebanon and Palestine have been experiencing for decades is not simply the tragedy of “war.” It is the tragedy of injustice and occupation.

I hope that in your future messages you will also pray for an end to occupation, for the freedom of our people from Israeli occupation, and for justice after decades of suffering, brutalization, and terrorism.

Apparently the Zionist military is facing an unlikely opponent: bird migration season, which peaks in March and April. Large flocks could cause collisions and are sometimes even targeted by pilots because they appear on radar screens as “suspicious objects,” as in they ‘resemble’ enemy aircrafts.

The presence of these migrating birds can potentially force Israeli planes to alter their routes, creating vulnerabilities that would make them easier targets for the Iranian military.

Happy International Women's Day.

[susan abulhawa | سوزان ابو الهوى @susanabulhawa]

a whistle-blower revealed that Israel paid for a multi-million dollar study to assess the best way to rehabilitate their tarnished image in the west. the study's main conclusion was that their reputation could not overcome genocide, but there was a viable path forward by promoting Islamophobia as a distraction. the study was clear that promulgating suspicion and hatred of Muslims was the only way to alleviate the damage to Israel's reputation.

that is the context of this post and every post like it.

@HermezSami With all world leaders sucking up to Trump these days who’s gonna stand up and tell him his plan (in his name) isnt worth 💩. Netanyahu managed to milk even more impunity out of the US.

[Ramzy Haddad @Half_shell]

@HermezSami Awesome. Been thinking about this topic a lot recently

[onagapnotsew @westonpagano]

Oh, now you want fire to cease?

[Ramzy Haddad @Half_shell]

@HermezSami Totally. I wonder what this means for posts on Palestine? They’ll probably leave a few moderators behind to handle that.

This is how the story of Kamal Adwan Hospital ended.

The medical staff was arrested, oxygen was denied to the patients, and everyone in the hospital was stripped of their clothes, dragged, and tortured.

I am very worried about Dr. Hossam Abu Safia. You are a hero.

Merry Christmas, world.

Palestinians have been saying this for 440 days but now that Haaretz says it maybe it will be believed.

[The Hind Rajab Foundation @HindRFoundation]

🚨🚨 Breaking: Israeli media are reporting that war criminal Gal Ferenbook fled Sri Lanka after the #HindRajabFoundation filed a case against him. If they truly believed they had nothing to fear from legal action, why are they running? Why leave? They just need to hire a lawyer and face justice. Fleeing like thieves in the night is a tacit confession of guilt.
The report from Israeli channel 12 is here:
