I have watched the film on BBC. Why is the palastinian exile more of an exile than the Jewish exile? After all, there are still many palastinian viliges in Israel. I believe the film has a double standard on this matter. Also, where do the actions of the Palestinians prior to and during the 48 war, which at the least contributed to their need to flee, fit within the pluralist and complete history the film searches for? The immediate events that preceded the war where much more relevant to its outcome, than whether or not the Palestinians are in fact Israeli descendants or not, I believe.
Dear Amir: As I have received many questions and comments I do not have the time to answer each and one personally. However I consider this discussion of upmost importance. I therefore will write in the coming a days a blog that will collect most of the questions and answered them together. Please watch for this upcoming blog. Thanks
