Checkpoint - Every Day Life in Palestine

2013-02-03T17:58:27.433Z

What would be like if you had to go through Military checkpoint to cross the street, go to the Kitchen or the Toilet in your own home?

Checkpoint (original title: Machssomim) is documentary film showing the everyday harrassement of Israeli soldiers and the harsh realities for Palestinian civilians at several of the regions Israel Defence Forces checkpoints.

It is made by Israeli filmmaker Yoav Shamir, Filmed over two years, 'Checkpoint' depicts the harsh and banal routine of these crossing points and documents the day-to-day situations that form a microcosm of the situation.

An ambulance is stopped, and the sick people inside brought out to explain their ailments. A mother is separated from her very young children. Young Palestinians laugh and throw snowballs at Israeli soldiers, who jovially respond in kind. One Israeli soldier harasses a pretty Palestinian girl. Another refers to the Arabs as "animals," and suggests the documentary crew is making a film for the Discovery Channel. Palestinians wait in the pouring rain while an Israeli soldier eats his lunch.

Another young soldier gets into a prolonged argument with a Palestinian man because he'd told the man an hour earlier that he would be able to cross back over the checkpoint to return home, and now a curfew is in effect.

After his superior reluctantly lets the man through, the embarrassed soldier turns to the filmmaker and pleads, "Try to make me look good...not like the bad guy." Language barriers constantly interfere with the soldiers' ability to do their jobs. "It's not my decision," is a constant refrain as they turn people away.

Israeli filmmaker Yoav Shamir once served his army reserve duty as a checkpoint guard, which was what inspired him to make this documentary, Checkpoint. For 80 minutes, Shamir simply shows us videotape of what happens at the various checkpoints that the Israeli government operates, which are in place to regulate the travel of Palestinians, purportedly in an effort to combat terrorism. The documentary uses no narration, and the soldiers and Palestinians at the checkpoints are never identified. The subtitles simply tell the audience where the checkpoint being videotaped is located. Checkpoint was shown by the Film Society of Lincoln Center and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Israeli Troops Filmed Kicking A Palestinian Child - Raw Footage

2013-02-02T12:50:29.691Z

The footage shows a 9-year-old boy walking down the road when a uniformed police officer runs up to him and grabs him by the arm, causing the boy to fall on the ground. Another policeman then walks up to them and kicks the screaming child.

After that, the soldiers let the child run away, and leave the site.

The video was recorded by a volunteer of the Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories (B'Tselem) on the June 29, 2012 in Hebron, in the southern part of the West Bank. According to the cameraman, he began to shoot the video when he saw the officer ambushing the boy behind a wall.

If this doesn't disgust you, then let me share with you the general Israeli reaction to this incident. Eden Oreu, an Israeli high schooler from Gedera Regional High School, who was also one of hundreds of Israeli Facebook users that reacted with pride and joy, and incitement to violence and murder, on seeing this video commented: "Channel 2, YOU ARE THE GARBAGE OF THE STATE, ALL RESPECT TO THE BORDER POLICE OFFICER AND IT'S A SHAME HE DIDN'T PUT A BULLET IN THE HEAD OF THE SON OF A BITCH VIDEOGRAPHER WHO DOCUMENTED THIS."

WAKE UP AMERICA!! IF IT WASN'T FOR YOUR FINANCIAL, MILITARY & DIPLOMATIC SUPPORT TO ISRAEL, THIS CHILD AND COUNTLESS OTHERS LIKE HIM, YOUNGER AND OLDER, WOULD NOT HAVE HAD THEIR CHILDHOOD AND, IN MANY CASES, THEIR LIVES STOLEN AND DESTROYED!!
