1. "refugee" nonsense
yoni the Jew ,   Jewish homeland   (11.28.13)
There is no such thing today as a palestinian refugee. It is true that many arabs were displaced by war in 1948 either by force or by choice. The grandchildren and great grandchildren are by no means considered refugees. This is a fantasy made up by the arabs trying to think of ways to displace the Jews living in Israel today. Look up the definition of refugee.
2. Get the facts right at least
Miche Norm,an ,   Hod Hasharon   (11.28.13)
The Arab population of Haifa trippled in the 20 years leading up to independence, why - because the British in breach of their mandatre almost halted Jewish immigration whilst turning a blind eye to massive Arab immigration accounting for over half of the Arab population in 1948. For any other group there is an assumption that refugees have lived in a country for a long time - the UN definition of a Palestinian refugee - which is unique to the Palestinians - is whover was living in the land in April 1946! Now can we expect the Cinameteque to have films on the ethnic cleansing of Jews from Jerusalem and the Arab world?
3. no cure for the leftists delusions
(11.28.13)
4. Mohammed's birthday should be seen as the Nakba of the world
Stan Marsh ,   South Park/USA   (11.28.13)
5. Democracy???
Abraham Nachmias ,   Petach Tikva IL   (11.28.13)
One thing is to be a democracy , but this is mplaying in the hands of the people who want to kill you! It's a pity we have so many snobs in Tel Aviv with too much money and too much time but not love at all for their country. For me, they are filth!
6. nakba film festival
austin ,   USA   (11.28.13)
insane-appalling
7. Why wasn't Jordan and Egyptian occupation a "Nakba"?
GZLives   (11.28.13)
8. We can sometimes be our worst enemies....that is our curse!
EST ,   Miami USA   (11.29.13)
9. Useful Iduots
Howard ,   Seattle USA   (11.29.13)
It is clear to me that we Jews are have a gene in our DNA to be a useful idiot to our enemies no matter where we live in the world we live.Be if fools like this or the 75% of the American Jews who still think that Barrak Hussein can part the seas and walk on water.How nauseating either way.
10. Jewish leftists are totally sick.
Chaim ,   Israel   (11.29.13)
Deep inside the sick souls of Jewish leftists is the core belief that Jews have no right to our more than 3,500 year old ancestral heartland. Deep inside the sick souls of Jewish leftists is also a very strong death wish. If you understand this, you will understand the depraved self destructive actions of leftists, such as those portrayed in this article. You will also understand why leftists are infallibly wrong on every single major issue. Their true drive is towards self destruction and the destruction of their fellow Jews.
11. Shame! They shouldn't use taxpayers money on lies
Gil ,   Jerusalem   (11.29.13)
12. What about the other refugees
Mertens ,   Belgium   (11.29.13)
I hope he or a palestinian filmproducent will make also a film about the almost 1 mill Jews refugee from arab countrys.About the 16 Mill. refugees in Germany and about the 50 mill. refugee after the 2. World War in the 1945-48
13. some Jews NEED to be loved.
rachel ,   Melbourne AU   (11.29.13)
I think this is the main issue. Need to be loved is very strong that some people will do anything for it. These people are mentally sick. Refuah to them. Now as for Ashton, has anyone ever seen her get wet? I ask because that is how the witch in the Wizard of Oz finished. Maybe all we need is water.
14. In German Nabka after 1945 upwards 13 millions were expelled
ab   (11.29.13)
from their truly ancestral land in what's was to become part of Russia,Poland,Chech Republic. Address that first,Lefties
15. #5
Ivo ,   Israel   (11.29.13)
Mr Garbouz is abusing his role and the authority attached to it. He should emigrate to the PA lands and remain there and return to us his Israeli passport as he does not deserve it...What a filth
16. What about the Jewish nakba?
Rachel ,   US   (11.29.13)
17. "Garbuz to Gaza": sounds like a worthy name for a movement!
tom ,   tel aviv   (11.29.13)
18. Chaim no10
(11.29.13)
Who built this country? Did you forget? That wasn't rightist Jews for sure!!
19. Get Out.

Film Festival in Gaza. Look for the bright white mushroom cinema lighting.
20. End the Occupation of the Cinematek by the Fascist Left!!
Steven Plaut ,   Haifa   (11.29.13)
End the Occupation of the Cinematek by the Fascist Left!!
21. #18: another legend/falsehood being repeated ad nauseum!
tom ,   tel aviv   (11.29.13)
The red apparatchiks,loyal Stalinists and true criminals from the East Bloc, almost caused our demise. Get some info, Bro!
22. Point of view
(11.29.13)
The Jewish nakba in Europe is also some European victory... All is a matter of points of view
23. Tom, and your facts are???
(11.29.13)
All my history books say the same: Leftist Jews built this country
24. Arab Naqba
(11.29.13)
What about the Jewish Naqba, when the Arabs kicked out the Jews and confiscated their properties, businesses, and other valuable.
25. Yep, Steven Plaut is right!
FG   (11.29.13)
Israel's [red] fascist movement's state-sponsored wings must be clipped. The Left-fascist Israel is stronger than ever and is now posing an acute existential danger to the wellbeing and very being of the country to the point of genocide.
26. Huge palestinian propaganda
Mertens ,   Belgium   (11.29.13)
is incomprehensible how the palestinians have enjoyed for decades this refugee status.It was millions other refugees with the own "Nakba"..The Palestinians are the only group which has a separate organization UNRWA at the UN .For the Palestinians and UNRWA is a huge income, in the biggest part financed from western countrys. This palestinian refugee Status ist in UNRWA hereditary.No other group enjoy such benefits.Here ist the reason why the palestinian refugee status ist fortgoing..
27. #16 Rachel
(11.30.13)
Jews had two Nakbas...One in 2000 and another in 2006...
