Open Your Eyes vol1

Right now in case some of u muthaf'ers haven't been paying attn to the world around you there is a war going on right now. Isreal and Palestine are on the brink of endulging in what many experts believe will be the trigger to the 3rd world war [the one where guns are irrelevant and nukes rule all]. The western media in the U.S. has extremily strong ties to Isreal, so with them being in control of over 99.9% [this stat is non-debateable because on my blog I make the stats ahhahahaha. but forreal] of what we watch, see, hear, learn we are usually given a more than bias opinion of those on the other side. We are somehow swindled into not ever striving to see both sides of the story, due to us just accepting what we are shown, or our UNwillingness to be open to go against what the glorious television tells us. The internet is one of if not the single greatest instrument available to us to combat THEY [Yes I shall only refer to them as THEY, least they hear my keyboards anger//truth and decide to make me dissappear........and you for reading this]

Anyways, I'm mad late on this doc....but its one of the better ones I've come accross regarding this matter. Since I know ni**as love NOT paying for movies here are all the youtube links to each part.

Occupation 101 - Has won a bunch of awards already & co-signed by a bunch of experts if that matters to ayone....just watch

A thought-provoking and powerful documentary film on the current and historical root causes of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Unlike any other film ever produced on the conflict -- 'Occupation 101' presents a comprehensive analysis of the facts and hidden truths surrounding the never ending controversy and dispels many of its long-perceived myths and misconceptions.

The film also details life under Israeli military rule, the role of the United States in the conflict, and the major obstacles that stand in the way of a lasting and viable peace. The roots of the conflict are explained through first-hand on-the-ground experiences from leading Middle East scholars, peace activists, journalists, religious leaders and humanitarian workers whose voices have too often been suppressed in American media outlets.

The film covers a wide range of topics -- which include -- the first wave of Jewish immigration from Europe in the 1880's, the 1920 tensions, the 1948 war, the 1967 war, the first Intifada of 1987, the Oslo Peace Process, Settlement expansion, the role of the United States Government, the second Intifada of 2000, the separation barrier and the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, as well as many heart wrenching testimonials from victims of this tragedy.

for anything else regarding the film


I wanted to call this Close your eyes and open your mind, but you actually need to watch and let the imagery sink in. Also this was made in 2006 so I'm assuming that since its in the news now the situation is much more dire.
