Making the Film 'Palestine 36'

 

In filmmaker Annemarie Jacir’s new film, Palestine 36, one of the most pivotal moments in Palestine’s history is brought to life for the first time through cinema.

In this episode of The Chris Hedges Report, host Chris Hedges speaks with Jacir about the 1936–39 Palestinian uprising against British colonial rule — a mass revolt that laid the groundwork for the modern Palestinian struggle, and also the crushing of Palestine’s organizational infrastructure that culminated into the founding of the Zionist state a decade later.

Jacir explains that this period represents “the beginning of the national movement for liberation in Palestine,” emphasizing its scale and significance as “the first really mass uprising” that spread from “countryside to city” and “across classes.” For her, revisiting this moment is essential to understanding everything that followed, as “it sets up everything for the Nakba in 1948 and the loss of Palestine.”

Jacir explains how her film reconstructs not only the revolt itself but also the conditions that shaped it—British colonialism, offensive attacks on Palestinian labor, and the exploitation of the Palestinian elite’s fractured nature and ambitions for power. In her research, Jacir says she was struck by the extent of that brutality, noting, “I was really… surprised… I’d never really heard about that under the British,” only to later uncover detailed accounts in archival records, including testimonies from British soldiers themselves. In fact, “it’s the blueprint of military occupation that we live today,” she says.

But Jacir frames Palestine 36 as more than a historical drama. It is, she says, about “a moment of real possibility” and the moral choices faced by those living under oppression. Even during production—disrupted by the war in Gaza—the film’s themes felt urgently contemporary. “There is no past and present,” she reflects. “We’re still living the same thing.”

Israeli VIP Pedophile Ring Victim Found Dead After Revealing 'Jeffrey Epstein Is Still Alive'

 

Shoshana Strook was the daughter of a powerful member of Netanyahu's cabinet - raised inside the system, until she chose to expose it.

She confirmed that Jeffrey Epstein isn't dead. That his death was staged and he was expatriated to Israel. That he was an intelligence asset. That he's still operating in the shadows, moving among the same powerful circles she said destroyed her childhood.

Manifested Sons Of God: The Shared Theology Of Jones And Branham

 

John and Charles trace the theological overlap between William Branham, Jim Jones, and the broader world of Latter Rain restorationism. They examine how five-fold ministry teaching, manifested sons of God theology, and end-time revival expectations created a framework where charismatic leaders could present themselves as uniquely anointed, spiritually elevated, and essential to God’s final plan.

The discussion also shows how Old Testament passages were pulled out of context and reapplied to the church through restorationist and British Israel influenced ideas. By following the movement from Branhamism to Peoples Temple, John and Chino highlight how the promise of a perfected church, a last-days revival, and Christlike human vessels could become fertile ground for manipulation, theological confusion, and authoritarian control.

Losing Our Precious Heritage

 

Contrast the words of leaders of the Global South committed to achieving sovereignty to those such as Crusader Hegseth, who lets bombs and missiles and violence speak for him.  Have we in the West lost the morality to survive?

The substance of morality

Police Union Resignations, AG on RCMP Shortages, Bill 21 at Supreme Court

 

This week, Paul and Adam discuss the National Police Federation election controversy, the Attorney General's report on RCMP staffing levels, the RCMP's "expression of regret" for spying on Indigenous leaders (including former National Chief George Manuel) in the 1970's, and the arguments in the Supreme Court over Quebec's controversial legislation to prevent public servants from wearing religious symbols. 

Paul starts the show with a story of a meeting he had with a former biker gang leader, and then the guys discuss the resignations of two board members of the National Police Federation, over allegations that union leadership was trying to control nominations for the board of directors. This comes as the NPF is being sued over $3.39 million in payments to some of those board members. 

Also discussed this week, the Tiger Woods DUI arrest, the Justin King bail matter out of Newfoundland, Gladue Reports, and Halifax Police posing as homeless people begging for change in order to investigate traffic and criminal violations.

‘Kuffiyehs in Buchenwald’ campaign challenges Germany’s anti-Palestinian culture of remembrance

 

Since October 7, the Palestinian kuffiyeh has been criminalized by German authorities and institutions out of support for Israel and Zionism. A new campaign is challenging this “hypocritical and deceitful ‘culture of remembrance.’”

For more than ten years now, Germany has seen a large-scale campaign against alleged antisemitism that in reality targets nothing more than criticism of Zionism – or even criticism of Israeli policy. This campaign has been driven primarily by the major political parties, the mainstream media, and several foundations, and initially focused above all on the arts and cultural sectors. Those targeted included the Cameroonian historian Achille Mbembe, the U.S. philosopher Judith Butler, the Israeli sociologist Moshe Zuckermann, the former director of the Jewish Museum Berlin Peter Schäfer, the British musician Roger Waters, and the late Syrian artist Burhan Karkutli. For a long time, the main goal was to defame and criminalize the global BDS movement. Commemoration of the Nakba was also turned into a taboo.

In the early years, these intensified campaigns were still masked as “discourses” in order to give them a liberal veneer. A few voices spoke out publicly against them, for example the Australian historian and genocide scholar Dirk Moses with his noteworthy 2021 essay “The German Catechism.” But the debates provoked by him and others largely remained confined to the cultural pages of bourgeois newspapers.

All of this changed in October 2023. The uprising in Gaza and the genocide that followed at Israel’s hands revived solidarity with Palestine in Germany. Tens of thousands poured into the streets day after day, week after week. The attacks by the authorities – from police violence to censorship and bans to the destruction of people’s livelihoods – suddenly affected a critical mass. And this was a movement that marched, resisted, and made itself heard. 

Since then, the Palestine solidarity movement has sought to carry the struggle into every public space and fight it there: from the streets to cultural institutions, trade unions, university campuses and lecture halls, and even courtrooms. Even the Bundestag is no longer free of protest by spectators and individual members of parliament. Memorial sites for the victims of German fascism are no longer exempt either.  (more...)
