Objet : a letter to Palestinian and Lebanese filmmakers

a letter to Palestinian and Lebanese filmmakers
to coincide with the opening of the Arab Film Biennial in Paris July 22nd

(French follows)

We, the undersigned Israeli filmmakers, greet the Arab filmmakers who have
gathered in Paris for the Arab Film Biennial. Through you, we wish to convey
a message of camaraderie and solidarity with our Lebanese and Palestinian
colleagues who are currently besieged and bombarded by our country's army.

We unequivocally oppose the brutality and cruelty of Israeli policy, which
has reached new heights in recent weeks. Nothing justifies the continued
occupation, closure, and oppression in Palestine. Nothing justifies the
bombing of civilians and the destruction of infrastructures in Lebanon and
Gaza.

Allow us to tell you that your films, which we try to see and circulate
among us, are extremely important in our eyes. They enable us to know and
understand you better. Thanks to these films, the men, women, and children
who suffer in Gaza, Beirut, and everywhere else our army exercises its
violence - have names and faces. We would like to thank you and encourage
you to keep on filming, despite the difficulties.

For our part, we will continue to express through our films, with our raised
voices, and in our personal actions our vehement opposition to the
occupation, and we will continue to express our desire for freedom, justice,
and equality among all the peoples of the region.

Nous, cineastes isra?liens , saluons tous les cineastes arabes r?unis ?
Paris pour la Biennale du cinema arabe . A travers vous, nous voulons
envoyer un message d'amiti? et de solidarit? ? nos collegues Libanais et
Palestiniens qui sont actuellement assi?g?s et bombard?s par l'arm?e de
notre pays.
Nous nous opposons categoriquement ? la brutalit? et ? la cruaut? de la
politique isra?lienne, qui a atteint de nouveaux sommets au cours des
derni?res semaines.  Rien ne peut justifier la poursuite de l'occupation ,
de l'enfermement et de la repression en Palestine. Rien ne peut justifier le
bombardement de populations civiles et la destruction d'infrastuctures au
Liban et dans la bande de Gaza.

Permettez nous de vous dire que vos films, que nous nous efforcons de voir
et de faire circuler autour de nous, sont tres importants ? nos yeux. Ils
nous aident ? vous conna?tre et ? vous comprendre. Grace ? ces films,  les
hommes, les femmes et les enfants  qui souffrent ? Gaza, ? Beyrouth, et
partout o? notre arm?e d?ploie sa violence, ont pour nous des noms et des
visages.  Nous voulons vous en remercier, et vous encourager ? continuer de
filmer, malgr? toutes les difficult?s .

Quant ? nous, nous nous engageons ? continuer d'exprimer, par nos films, nos
prises de paroles et nos actions personelles,  notre opposition cat?gorique
? l'occupation et notre d?sir de libert?, de justice et d'?galit? pour tous
les peuples de la r?gion.
