我们是巴勒斯坦人民 We Are The Palestinian People (1973)

Made by a breakaway faction of the US Newsreel collective Pacific Newsreel, We Are the Palestinian People: Revolution Until Victory edits exclusively archival footage into a detailed, historical reconstruction of the conflict. Great attention is paid to the political genesis of Zionism, the role of colonial Britain in assigning [sic] Palestine to Zionists and the strategic role Israel has played ever since in the control and monopoly of the world’s most sought-after commodity, oil. While other titles in the season stressed the internationalist dimension of the Palestinian revolution by linking it to other anti-colonial struggles, the same concept is rendered here specularly – for if anti-imperialism is a trans-global phenomenon, so is repression. Incorporated into the montage is footage of Moshe Dayan visiting Vietnam to learn about counter-insurgency technique.
