The Story behind Stitching Palestine

Twelve Palestinian women sit before us and talk of their life before the Diaspora, of their memories, of their lives and of their identity.
Their narratives are connected by the enduring thread of the ancient art of embroidery.

Twelve resilient, determined and articulate women from disparate walks of life: lawyers, artists, housewives, activists, architects, and politicians stitch together the story of their homeland, of their dispossession, and of their unwavering determination that justice will prevail.

Through their stories, the individual weaves into the collective, yet remaining distinctly personal. Twelve women, twelve life-spans and stories from Palestine; a land whose position was fixed on the map of the world, but is now embroidered on its face.

“There is one topic in America today which few will fund, no network will broadcast, and distributors are afraid to take on.  This is not because it is baseless, frivolous or ephemeral.  While gross violations of the Geneva Conventions, political repression, economic strangulation, racism, Apartheid and creeping genocide can be exposed across the globe, this particular example cannot be honestly or deeply addressed inside the U.S.  This is a subject which involves 25% of all refugees in the world, which fuels terrorism across the world, which is the longest running injustice of the 20th century.  Yet fear and censorship, both internal and external, concurrent with economic imperialism rule the discussion.  Despite the routine torture, imprisonment and murder of children, institutionalized power enforces silence. Filmmakers are allowed to skirt the issues, with lyrical or bittersweet films about the refugee experience, detaching it from the ongoing reality or micro-level protest films, which extol non-violent activism without ever dealing with the oppressor involved.  And that oppressor is applauded for media projects which trivialize with humor, falsely equalize victim and victimizer, or excuse the perpetrator by personalizing him, while making the victim nameless, faceless and cut from cardboard.  This is the subject of Jews Step Forward.” —  Marjorie Wright.

The International Court of Justice has just issued preliminary measures against Israel for the crime of genocide in Gaza. The ruling follows weeks of anticipation and months of international outcry for Israel to face accountability from the UN. While much remains undetermined, this is a critical development in a time when the integrity of international institutions has been thrown into crisis by their ineffectiveness in the face of Israel's slaughter. Former director of the New York Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights Craig Mokhiber, who resigned from his position last fall in protest of what he called the UN's "failure" to protect Palestinians, joins The Chris Hedges Report for a discussion on the weaknesses of the UN in the face of US and Israeli impunity.

About the Film
Germany’s stifling of pro-Palestinian voices is pitting historical guilt against anti-colonial movements and free speech. Since October 7, 2023, authorities have clamped down on Palestinian activism, from protestors carrying ‘stop genocide’ signs to pro-Palestine groups being outlawed. While protests are now allowed, the country is beset by constant cancellations of those who speak out for Palestinian human rights. The film was commissioned for The New Arab website.

About the Video
All too often, the question of Palestine is framed as an eternal conflict arising from ancient ethnic or religious hatreds, with questions regarding the origins of the state of Israel and the legitimacy of land claims reduced to matters of scriptural interpretation. Such views entirely omit the actual history of Palestine and the Zionist movement.
