La Liga Árabe rechaza la propuesta de seguridad de EE.UU. para un futuro estado palestino - La Vanguardia

http://www.lavanguardia.com/internacional/20131221/54398475841/arabes-rechazan-propuesta-de-seguridad-de-eeuu-para-futuro-estado-palestino.html

Los ministros de Asuntos Exteriores de la Liga Árabe reiteraron debe ser independiente y con su capital en Jerusalén Este

Internacional | 21/12/2013 - 21:23h | Última actualización: 22/12/2013 - 02:56h

El Cairo, (Efe).- Los ministros de Asuntos Exteriores de la Liga Árabe rechazaron hoy una propuesta de seguridad estadounidense para el futuro estado palestino, que reiteraron debe ser independiente y con su capital en Jerusalén Este.
En una reunión extraordinaria en El Cairo, celebrada a petición del presidente palestino, Mahmud Abás, los jefes de la diplomacia árabe criticaron el plan de EEUU sobre una eventual presencia militar israelí durante diez años en el límite con Cisjordania.
Abás ya expresó su descontento con esta idea a mediados de este mes en un mensaje a las autoridades estadounidenses, que median en las conversaciones de paz entre palestinos e israelíes.
De acuerdo a ese plan, aviones de reconocimiento estadounidenses vigilarían el territorio palestino y militares israelíes se desplegarían en zonas estratégicas a lo largo de la frontera con el futuro estado palestino, que debería ser desmilitarizado.
La Liga Árabe insistió en una resolución al final de la reunión que la solución al conflicto debe basarse en la Iniciativa de Paz Árabe, aprobada en 2002.
Esta iniciativa estipula la retirada israelí de todos los territorios árabes ocupados durante la guerra de 1967 a cambio del reconocimiento a Israel.
Los ministros árabes también rechazaron "todas las medidas y planes políticos israelíes que tienen como objetivo alterar las realidades demográfica y geográfica de los territorios palestinos ocupados", según el texto.
Se encargó al secretario general de la Liga Árabe, Nabil al Arabi, enviar un mensaje al secretario de Estado de EEUU, John Kerry, para reiterarle la posición árabe.
Por otro lado, los ministros responsabilizaron al Gobierno israelí de "obstaculizar el proceso de paz mediante el asesinato de palestinos y sus planes de construir asentamientos".
Al Arabi dijo en una rueda de prensa tras la reunión que ni los países árabes ni la Autoridad Nacional Palestina (ANP) harán concesiones a Israel.
Por último, recordó que los países árabes acordaron con EEUU supervisar negociaciones entre ambas partes que no deben durar más de nueve meses, entre fines de julio de 2013 y abril de 2014.
Las estadísticas del servicio secreto israelí Shabak muestran un repunte de la violencia en la segunda parte de 2013 entre palestinos e israelíes, lo que hace temer una nueva Intifada si fracasan las negociaciones de paz.

THE WARREN - film

http://www.thewarrenfilm.com/

THE WARREN is an intense drama about the Israeli–Palestinian conflict that challenges the norm and will change your perspective.
 
Bas​ed on a true story, THE WARREN follows a raid to capture suspected militants by the Israeli Defense Forces during the Second Intifada into the sprawling maze of the Balata Refugee Camp in Palestine. The final confrontation serves as a reminder that humanity can be found in the unlikeliest of places.
 
The first leg of THE WARREN was filmed on location in Nablus, a West Bank Palestinian city in September 2013.  Nablus is one of the oldest cities in the world, first established 9000 years ago. It was originally called "Shechem" by its Canaanite inhabitants. Nablus is distinguished by its location in a narrow valley between the two mountains Gerizim and Ebal. This makes for an impressive view when you are within the city itself.
 
During the Second Intifada Nablus was a center of violence between the Israel Defense Forces and Palestinian militant groups. There are many damaged buildings and debris-filled fields around Nablus, the result of past conflicts. Israeli restrictions on the city are generally looser than they used to be, but Nablus continues to be a flash point of conflict between Palestinian and Israelis, as well as internal conflicts that arise between different militant factions that reside in and around the city of Nablus.
 
According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, 522 residents of Nablus and surrounding refugee camps, including civilians, were killed and 3,104 injured during IDF military operations against militants during the Second Intifada from 28 September 2000 – 8 February 2005.  Israeli soldiers and settlers have also been killed by Palestinian militants from Nablus.*  In April 2002, following the Passover massacre — an attack by Palestinian militants that killed 30 Israeli civilians attending aseder dinner at the Park Hotel in Netanya — Israel launched Operation Defensive Shield, a major military operation in which Nablus was one of the main targets.  At least 80 Palestinians were killed in Nablus during the operation and several houses were destroyed or severely damaged.  The IDF also imposed a curfew on Nablus lasting between April 4 and April 22.  IDF forces reentered Nablus during Operation Determined Path in June 2002, remaining inside the city until the end of September.  Over those three months, there had been more than 70 days of full 24-hour curfews.**
 
The rich and complex history of Nablus poses unique working conditions and hazards to the filmmakers, but it allows for a deeper exploration of character and the human condition that has already led to the telling of an unforgettable story.
 
THE WARREN team are planning to return to Palestine this January 2014 to finish filming the interiors of THE WARREN, the very heart of the film.

When I saw you - film

http://whenisawyou.com/

Jordan, 1967. The world is alive with change: brimming with reawakened energy, new styles, music and an infectious sense of hope. In Jordan, a different kind of change is underway as tens of thousands of refugees pour across the border from Palestine. Having been separated from his father in the chaos of war, Tarek, 11, and his mother Ghaydaa, are amongst this latest wave of refugees. Placed in “temporary” refugee camps made up of tents and prefab houses until they would be able to return, they wait, like the generation before them who arrived in 1948. With difficulties adjusting to life in Harir camp and a longing to be reunited with his father, Tarek searches a way out, and discovers a new hope emerging with the times. Eventually his free spirit and curious nature lead him to a group of people on a journey that will change their lives. 
When I Saw You is the story of people affected by the times around them, in search of something more in their lives. A journey full of adventure, love, humor, and the desire to be free, but most of all this is a story about that moment in a person's life when he wakes up and finds the whole world is open and everything is possible - that moment you feel most alive. It is a journey of the human spirit that knows no borders.

Istanbouli Theater starts its 2013 European Tour

http://occupiedpalestine.wordpress.com/2013/08/03/a-voice-from-palestine-in-europe-istanbouli-theater-starts-its-2013-european-tour/


A voice from Palestine in Europe: Istanbouli Theater starts its 2013 European Tour



August 3, 2013
A voice from Palestine in Europe:  Istanbouli Theater starts its 2013 European Tour in Spain and Portugal”All human beings have the right to Human Rights, without exception.
Dehumanization, thinking about other people in terms of stereotypes or numbers, might let you think that human beings that are different from us are not subject to the same rights that we have. My theater wants to humanize” the others”, to incarnate them, therefore I have always been interested in showing my work in different countries.”
Kassem Istanbouli, a Lebanese artist with a Palestinian origin, has an extensive theatrical production focused on giving voice to the stories of survivors, almost always in a black comedy mode, bringing a smile to our faces while the tragedy lies underneath. As an actor and theater director Istanbouli has performed the following works, shown in different countries: Picnic in the flede, (Fernando Arrabal) on the absurdity of war; Hawamish on gender violence,
The People’s Court, on the rights of citizenship of Lebanese women; Experiencia del Mural, about identity (Mesopotamian poem XVII century), finalist at Almagro Off, the Black House, on the consequences of the lack of freedom; Walls, on identity and freedom, and Koum Yaba.
No doubt it is his play Koum Yaba, the one that has touched more the audience throughout the world, a monologue with interpretative rooted Arab tradition, in a black comedy mode and with a stage work that plays with the poetic. The dramatic text of Koum Yaba is inspired by the work of Palestinian writer Salman Natour and tells the story of the Palestinian people since 1948 until today. This work has been shown in Lebanon, in the Palestinian refugee camps, in Syria, Gaza, Spain, Algeria, Chile, Kuwait, Tunisia, Morocco.

La voix de Istanbouli Theater revient en Europe


Rendre visible l'invisible, humaniser "les autres"

"Tous les êtres humains, sans exception, sont soumis aux droits de l'humanité.Déshumanisation, penser à d'autres personnes en termes de stéréotypes ou des numéros, pourrait laisser penser que les êtres humains qui sont différents de nous ne sont pas soumis aux mêmes droits que nous avons. Mon théâtre veut humaniser "les autres", les incarner,donc j'ai toujours été intéressé à montrer mon travail dans les différents pays ".

Kassem Istanbouli, un artiste libanais d'origine palestinienne, a une vaste production théâtrale vise à donner une voix aux histoires de survivants, presque toujours dans un mode decomédie noire, apporter un sourire sur nos visages alors que la tragédie se trouve en dessous.En tant qu'acteur et metteur en scène Istanbouli a effectué les travaux suivants, présentés dans différents pays:Picnic in the flede, (Fernando Arrabal) sur l'absurdité de la guerre;Hawamish sur la violence sexiste, la Cour populaire, sur les droits de citoyenneté des femmeslibanaises ; Experiencia del mural, sur l'identité (Mésopotamie, poème XVII siècle), finaliste àAlmagro Off, la Maison Noire, sur les conséquences de l'absence de liberté; Muros, sur l'identité et la liberté, et Koum Yaba.

Sans doute le travail le plus satisfaisant est Koum Yaba, un monologue enracinée dans la tonalité de comédie noire et aussi dans la tradition interprétative arabe et un travail sur scènequi joue avec le poétique. Le texte dramatique est inspiré par l'œuvre de l'écrivain palestinienSalman Natour. Ce travail a été exposé au Liban, dans les camps de réfugiés palestiniens en Syrie, à Gaza, en Espagne, en Algérie, le Chili, le Koweït, la Tunisie, le Maroc, et raconte l'histoire du peuple palestinien depuis 1948 jusqu'à aujourd'hui.

Istanbouli prépare sa prochaine visite à l'Union Européenne pour montrer son travail etlaisser sa voix soit entendue.
