Terrence Malick’s

BADLANDS (1973)

He was 25 years old. He combed his hair like James Dean. She was 15. She took music lessons and could twirl a baton. For a while they lived together in a tree house. In 1959, she watched while he killed a lot of people…

Jerusalem Day

Jerusalem Day, 2005. Very few people on the streets show any interest in the euphoric victory of the Six Days War; and while politicians churn out clichés about the Eternal City, veteran paratroopers, attempting to attend the memorial ceremonies on Ammunition Hill, are blocked by the politicians’ bodyguards.
But Religious Zionists are joyous. For them, the military victory was a sign that Salvation is near. And while Arab merchants watch impassively, processions of religious youths recapture the Old City, chanting songs of revenge. On Temple Mount and in the tunnels beneath it, they try to get closer to the Holy of Holies - the place from which the world was created.
While extremists on both sides, Israeli and Palestinian, are drawn to the flames of fanaticism rising above Temple Mount, Jerusalem is being divided once more, as a cruel new wall splits its heart.

Event on the Issue of Refugees Seeking Asylum in Israel

There are approximately 4000 refugees in Israel that fled genocide, wars, and persecutions on the religious grounds. About 1000 of them are under arrest in Ktsiot prison, while about a third of them are women and children. They are held for an indeterminate time, while men are separated from their families, and children above 12 from their mothers.

Their only crime is trying to find an asylum where they can live in peace and safety.

Where did the refugees come from? Why? Can the State of Israel help them? How?

In the course of the evening we will try to answer these and other questions.

The speakers:
1. Yiftach Milo, founder of the Asaf non-profit (Organisation for Assistance to Refugees Seeking Asylum in Israel), stayed in refugee camps in Chad where Darfur refugees fled
2. Talk with a refugee seeking asylum in Israel

After discussion, a once-only screening of the movie

The Devil Came on Horseback

USA, 2007
by Annie Sundberg and Ricki Stern

Using the exclusive photographs and first hand testimony of former U.S. Marine Captain Brian Steidle, the film goes on an emotionally charged journey into the heart of Darfur, Sudan, where in 2004, Steidle became witness to a genocide that to-date has claimed over 400,000 lives. As an official military observer, Steidle had access to parts of the country that no journalist could penetrate. Unprepared for what he would witness and experience, Steidle returned to the U.S. armed with his photographs, intent on exposing the images and stories of lives systematically destroyed.
