The Side of Palestine You Don't See, 12 February 2004
10/10
Author: Quinn (Firefairy) from Denver, CO, USA

This movie is a systematic attempt by the people of HonestReporting.com to present the side of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict that does not regularly get press coverage, either due to biased reporting or simply lack of information. It includes direct translations of interviews with Palestinians, including one in which Yasser Arafat says he is proud of children who martyr themselves. It also includes examples of the sermons that are broadcast each weekend over the government TV stations in which religious leaders tell their congregations that there can be no peace until all the Jews are exterminated and that they should kill every Jew they see.

Did you know about these things? I didn't. While some documentaries try to show both sides of an issue, this one is particularly aimed at showing a side that is usually massively underrepresented, and is truthful in doing so. It uses original source material and provides accurate context. It never claims that all Palestinians agree with the opinions and sentiments being shown, but the fact that these opinions are expressed openly by Palestinian leaders and on government-sponsored TV makes them much more than the rantings of fringe groups who do not have any representative effect on Palestinians as a whole.

DemocraticEmpire's remark about how you see Palestinians calling for holy war but no Israeli right-wingers calling for deportation is an example of the bias that is exactly the reason this movie was made- since when is deportation, even of an entire people, equivalent to genocide?
