CeasefireMV will present the documentary film “1948: Creation and Catastrophe” on Thursday, July 11, at 5:30 pm at the Oak Bluffs library. There will be time for discussion following the screening.
Through personal recollections of both Palestinians and Israelis, “1948: Creation and Catastrophe,” produced in 2017, reveals the events of the most pivotal year in the this controversial conflict. It tells the story of the establishment of Israel as seen through the eyes of the people who lived it, according to a press release from CeasefireMV. “More than just a history lesson, ‘1948’ is also a primer for the present. It is simply not possible to make sense of what is happening in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict today without an understanding of 1948,” the release says. In the film, hear stories from the people who lived through events in Haifa, Jaffa, Deir Yassin, Acre, Jerusalem, Ramla, Lydda, and more.
The event is free and open to the public. For more information, visit 1948movie.com.
Make no mistake. This film, from 2018, is heavily anti-Israel and anti-semitic, as is most of the world these days. “…A HIT PIECE ON ISRAEL”. This movie can be watched on YouTube.

“Definitely NOT a documentary
pgeary60019 May 2023
While claiming to be a documentary, it becomes clear within minutes that this is a hit piece on Israel, with no intent of presenting a balanced account. The heavily one-sided narrative is so clumsily executed that anyone with a modicum of sophistication will instinctively recognize that there must be another side to these events.
Much like news accounts that report on Israeli military actions while omitting mention of the terrorist acts which prompted them, the film neglects to mention the desperate plight of Holocaust survivors who were turned away from country after country before finally turning to their ancestral Jewish homeland.
Similarly, the film complains of Israel building a wall while omitting to mention the acts of Palestinian terrorists which necessitated the building of the wall as a defensive measure.
In short, this is a dishonest and biased polemic with the clear intent of inciting antipathy to Israel and the Jewish people. It is unworthy of your time unless you’re an anti-Semite who hasn’t yet got their fill of Israel bashing, to which we are already constantly bombarded.”

The only people who think this movie is balanced and truthful already hate Israel and Jews.
