On the Side of the Road

SYNOPSIS: Former racist, xenophobic West Bank settler Lia Tarachansky (born in Israel of Russian Jewish descent with parents from Ukraine) looks at Israelis’ collective amnesia of the fateful events of 1948 when the "State of Israel" was created and most Palestinians were forced to become refugees.She follows the transformation of Israeli veterans trying to recover their denial of a series of wars and propaganda campaigns that changed the region forever.
Tarachansky then turns the camera on herself and travels back to her settlement, where that historical erasure gave birth to a new generation, blind and isolated from its surroundings. Attempting to shed light on the country’s biggest taboo, she is met with outrage and violence by Jews wishing to remain blind, racist, and xenophobic, trying to make the country they stole from the indigenous Palestinian people a South African "Bantustan."

מתנחלת לשעבר ליאה טרשצ'נסקי חוקרת את האמנזיה הקולקטיבית של ישראלים בקשר לאירועי תש"ח כשמדינת ישראל נולדה ורוב הפלסטינים נהיו פליטים. היא עוקבת אחר הטרנספורמציה של לוחמי 1948 ישראליים שמנסים לחשוף את ההכחשה שלהם עצמם ושל בני דורם כלפי המלחמה הגורלית.

- RT/Abby Martin/Breaking the Set: Why doesn't Israel de-colonize Palestine? Miko Peled is an Israeli peace activist, author of The General's Son: Journey of an Israeli in Palestine. Peled grew up in a prominent Zionist family; his grandfather, Avraham Katsnelson, signed Israel's Declaration of Independence. His father, Mattityahu Peled, fought in the 1948 war and served as a general in the war of 1967; later, after the Israeli cabinet ignored his investigation of a 1967 alleged Israeli war crime, he became a peace activist and leading proponent of an Israeli dialogue with the PLO. He condemned the Israeli military for seizing the West Bank, Gaza, Sinai, and the Golan Heights, calling the war a "cynical campaign of territorial expansion."
