Palestine: Built on divisions


Palestinian documentary film 'No Other Land' has been nominated for the 97th Academy Awards in the Best Documentary Feature Film category. — Antipode Films/AP

I WANT you to watch a documentary that will infuriate, pierce your heart, make you weep and cause sleepless nights – as it did for me. Because it’s not enough to imagine what Palestinians endure every day as we catch snippets of images on TV or social media feeds, desensitising us as constant exposure to violence can do.

We must watch No Other Land to understand what it is like to live in fear of Israelis – soldiers and settlers – coming to evict you from your home. And then watch what happens when they tear your home down in front of your eyes, unaffected by your screams and pleas. And then you are forced to live in a cave, carrying on as normal as possible because the other choice is to leave.
