Vanessa Redgrave discussing The Palestinian, the documentary she produced and narrated in 1977 after travelling through the region and speaking with Palestinians.
She explains why she wanted to bring the Palestinian experience to Western audiences, and speaks about Zionism and what she saw as the dispossession and treatment of Palestinians.
Nearly fifty years later, it’s an interesting piece of historical footage to watch in the context of where the conflict is today.
The Palestinian became hugely controversial at the time. Redgrave’s involvement led to protests against her, and the controversy later followed her to the 1978 Academy Awards. (jta.org)

Israel has just bombed a school full with people are using as a shelter.
Children killed.
This violates Article 52 of Additional Protocol (I) Geneva Conventions, but international law clearly doesn’t apply to Israel.
The father was among those killed when the Israeli occupation struck civilian police near the municipal park in Gaza City on Wednesday, 19 August 2026, an area packed with displaced families driven there.
Around ten Palestinians were killed and 15 wounded in the bombing of the Gaza Governorate Municipalities Police Headquarters, among them 13-year-old Dana al-Jamasi. Gaza's Interior Ministry says the occupation is deliberately hunting the police force so that lawlessness takes hold, the same pattern seen in the assassination of Gaza City's civil police chief Jamal Abu Kamil on 13 August and of the head of police in northern Gaza in July, killings that leave neighbourhoods with no one to guard aid convoys or hold order.
It came a day after the occupation bombed the fishermen's port, killing six people including a child among families living in tents on the shore. More than 1,265 Palestinians have been killed since the so-called ceasefire took effect on 11 October 2025, a ceasefire the occupation has never once observed.

SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina
"Palestinian actress Yasmine Al-Massri, one of the stars of the historical drama 'Palestine 36', walked the red carpet at the Sarajevo Film Festival.
Al-Massri shared her impressions of Sarajevo, sent support to younger colleagues, and spoke openly about the difficult situation in her homeland.
Speaking about arriving in Sarajevo and her first impressions of the festival, the actress made no secret of her delight at the warm welcome:
'I'm so happy to be here. I gave my speech tonight, and I truly didn't expect so much love and kindness upon arriving in your country. As soon as I got in the car from the airport, I saw the entire city decorated with hearts and a heart-shaped logo. It's one beautiful army of love,' she stated.
As a prominent artistic figure, Al-Massri also reflected on the importance of the Sarajevo Film Festival for filmmakers and sent a clear message to younger colleagues and independent creators:
'I want to tell them that this festival gives me huge hope for independent and authentic cinema, which is on the rise across the world. I want to encourage all storytellers, especially those from local and marginalized communities, to write their scripts, pitch their ideas, and come to festivals like the Sarajevo Film Festival, because this is a true community for that kind of cinema,' she noted.
When asked about her dreams and personal challenges, the actress emotionally drew attention to events in Palestine, emphasizing that her daily nightmare represents the harsh reality facing her people:
'You know, my bad dreams are actually reality. I am Palestinian, and my people are currently enduring a genocide. My nightmare is the reality that all of us around the world are living through right now, watching what's happening in Gaza on our phones. Free Palestine! Thank you for hosting us. I love you, Sarajevo,' she said.
The film Palestine 36, in which Yasmine Al-Massri plays one of the key roles, tells the story of the Arab revolt against British rule in the late 1930s, and her presence at the festival drew significant attention from the public and the media."
