On Tragedy & Resistance
International participants of the Palestine Festival of Literature are shown around al Khalil / Hebron, where Israel’s apartheid system is at its most explicit.
The 2013 Palestine Festival of Literature took place across historical Palestine, with events in Jerusalem, Gaza, Nablus, Ramallah and Haifa. In this video, one group of the festival’s international participants are shown around al Khalil / Hebron, where Israel’s apartheid system is at its most explicit.
Because of the siege of Gaza two festivals were essentially run simultaneously.
The international participants spent their days taking political and historical tours, meeting artists and activists, and working with students.
Thank you to Issa Amro from Youth Against Settlements and Walid Abu Alhalaweh from the Hebron Rehabilitation Committee for spending the day with us.
