This is my favorite film about the Holocaust.
My favorite film in the Holocaust genre, as it were.
This time the tears are really real.
And it is not so much cinema as the telling of this story
which we know, over and over.
In 40 years, will they be saying this about Palestine?
I found the portrayal of Palestinian humanity was so profound.
How is it that Israel got this far while the world watched?
They should have stopped trade, cut them off.
But no, they paid for the whole thing until it was too late.
I heard a song and it goes like this
the minor fall and the major lift
over and over we sang baruch atah adonai
never ever again
But we could not hear our own words.
What justice might have been:
a pathetic echo in the history books.
We know, yes we do,
we Jews and Palestinians.
We could have stopped it, we Jews.
