New video art evokes yearning to return of Palestinian refugees A new Palestinian artistic video production commemorates the sixty-sixth anniversary of Kufr Birim, a Palestinian village hugging the border of Lebanon. According to a press release, the video — “In Your Absence” — aims to “recover the spirit and life” of Kufr Birim, where young Palestinian activists with ancestral ties to the village returned and began camping in August 2013. Palestinians commemorate the ethnic cleansing of their homeland — known as the Nakba (Arabic for “catastrophe”) — each year on 15 May, the day in 1948 when the State of Israel was formally established. Yet Zionist militias did not occupy and depopulate Kufr Birim and other Palestinian communities in the Galilee region of the country until later that year on 13 November. Its indigenous Palestinian Christians were promised that they would be allowed to return after a few weeks. electronicintifada.net/blogs/patrick-strickland/new-video-art-evokes-yearning-return-palestinian-refugees https://youtube/watch?v=pJhPZ-dAYQk#t=108 #KufrBirim #Palestine #ICC4Israel #BoycottIDFSupporters #BDS #JSIL
