FREE KINO - 33 Days (2007, dir. by Mai Masri) + Israeli Terror in Lebanon (2025 doc)
🔻📽️🎞️🇱🇧: Lebanon is Your Vietnam screening series returns for its second part "Hezbollah and the Popular Cradle of Resistance," this Tuesday, July 29th at Fydani space.
While maintaining our focus on Palestine and the continuing holocaust in Gaza, this series intends to shed light on the anti-colonial resistance to Zionist occupation in Lebanon as one part of the larger regional revolutionary movement against imperialist hegemony and extermination.
A regionalized and globalized material analysis of imperialism dismantles the western propaganda machine's strategies of epistemologically isolating colonized and neocolonized territories - part of one single geopolitical fabric of imperial domination - to compartmentalized, autonomous islands, removed from any larger system of control. The strengthening or debilitation of one node of resistance within this global imperial network reciprocally affects all parts.
Considering this and Palestine as the geostrategic culmination of imperialism and capitalism, we offer unconditional support for all of its material partners and their own struggles for national sovereignty, from Hezbollah to Iran, from Yemen to Iraq, as forces within one popular anti-imperial movement for a totalizing liberation transcending any "flag independence." One cannot support the liberation of the oppressed if one does not rally behind the actual forces engaging in their liberation.
Our focus in this screening is the revolutionary anti-colonial resistance of Hezbollah and its steadfast popular cradle (the popular incubator or support which sustains liberation movements) during the armed struggles against the Zionist terror invasions of Lebanon in 2006 and 2024. Terror attacks and collective punishment exacted upon populations by the colonizers attempt to demolish the grassroots links between the resistance and its popular cradle by rendering support too costly for the masses to sustain. The arbitrary violence of the oppressor however results is a failed calculus, as these strategies only embolden popular support for the resistance and clarify the necessity of armed struggle against the treacherous genocidal forces of the West and their compradors.
We begin with Palestinian director Mai Masri's film 33 Days (2007), which documents the journalists, grassroots emergency response teams, and mutual aid workers in Beirut and South Lebanon - vital members of the popular cradle - during the Zionists mass-carpet bombing of apartment buildings and civilian infrastructure and land invasion that would kill over 1,200 people, 1/3 of them children. We see in this film the masses of Lebanon, irrespective of faith or ideology rallying around Hezbollah's defiant guerilla resistance campaign that once again forced the Zionist conquest to collapse.
18 years later, as Hezbollah maintained its solidarity front in support of the Palestinian people enduring the genocide in Gaza and forced the evacuation of thousands from "Israeli" settlements, the Zionists would launch their sixth terror offensive on Lebanon beginning in September 2024 and ending with the so-called "ceasefire" on November 27th of that year.
This would involve yet another campaign of mass carpet-bombing of civilian infrastructure and a land invasion which would kill or wound thousands, resulting in the martyrdom of Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah, Secretary General of Hezbollah.
In her exclusive documentary "Israeli Terror in Lebanon: Inside the Pager Attack" released two weeks ago, Breakthrough New's Rania Khalek speaks to the victims of the Zionist pager attack, one the largest terrorist operations committed in modern history which prefigured the Zionist land invasion. Speaking to the victims of this operation, we see reality of what the Western media criminally reported as a "sophisticated" and "targeted" assault.
We will conclude our screening with a bonus report from Free Palestine TV on the South Lebanon front's status after the "ceasefire," immediately following the recent US-Zionist blitzkrieg on Iran and its unprecedented retaliatory bombardment of the entity.
We extend our appreciation to @fydani for hosting this screening and @studiohamrat for another terrific poster.
