(((SOCCER==))) Today: Oman vs. Palestine live watch 06/09/2023
Fifteen years on I still consider it to be crucial watching for anyone keen to grasp what happened and how. For Palestinians, 1948 was the year that dramatically affected everything. Lives were shattered in such a violent way and yet there has been little recognition of the injustice that occurred. Many of us cite this year as the starting point. But this Al Jazeera documentary begins the narrative almost 150 years earlier, with Napoleon Bonaparte’s siege on the city of Acre (known as Akka to Palestinians) to establish a French presence in Palestine. In search of allies, Napoleon issued a letter offering Palestine as a homeland to the Jews.
The film is a triggering watch, but the testimonies speak for themselves and is a powerful contribution to modern Nakba representation. The former site of Tantura now lies under a car park of a beach resort in Israel. As Yahya says, this is “the history which has long been denied and almost forgotten”. While Schwarz asserts: "My message to Israelis is that they need to recognise what actually happened.
Now, another 25 years on, you might ask, "What has changed? How many more anniversaries must be realised before Palestinians are granted their freedom and dignity? " All Bakri’s documentaries can be found online Tantura by Alon Schwarz (documentary feature, 2022) In a recent video interview for Middle East Eye, Israeli director Alon Schwarz stated, “Most Israelis believe the naive story that Palestinians ran away in 1948. "They don’t know that the Israeli army went into village after village and drove the people out, sometimes committing war crimes like the massacre at Tantura.

In their own words, Palestinians describe the moments when they became refugees “never to return”. As well as providing a platform for these survivors to immortalise their story, Bakri beautifully narrates verses by national poet Mahmoud Darwish. Mohammad Bakri punctuates '1948' with readings of Mahmoud Darwish's poetry (AFP) The interviews are also intercut with footage of Bakri performing scenes from his one-man play The Pessoptimist, which was adapted from the satirical fiction novel by Emile Habibi. Palestine has a long history of civil society, but also literature, poetry and art. The interweaving of Darwish and Habibi’s work between the testimonials reflects the many ways in which Palestinians creatively express themselves.
It was one of the many villages which were targeted in 1948, but information about this has never been widespread, even though Palestinians have been saying it for decades. It is interesting to note that in 2020 Palestinian-American filmmaker Hala Gabriel Yahya made a similar documentary featuring testimonies called One Night In Tantura. Her own parents fled Tantura in 1948 and yet her film is certainly the lesser known project on the topic. It did not have the same outreach, response or distribution that Schwarz’s production had. There is a whole conversation to be had about how or who should tell these stories, but this does not take away from how important Tantura is in terms of exposing the sheer violence and brutality of what occurred.
Despite hardships and obstacles, Palestinians prove their existence through cultural resistance, humanising their struggle with art. After 1948, Bakri went on to make Zahara (2009), which follows the life and memories of a 78-year-old woman born in Galilee before the Nakba and Jenin, Jenin (2002) about the siege of the occupied city in the West Bank during the Second Intifada. 1948 was Bakri’s directorial debut and was timed to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the Nakba.

I often thought this film should be called The People Who Remain, rather than The Time That Remains, as it explores the lives of some of the communities who were able to remain after the Nakba and how this catastrophic event still affects them today. But apparently the title is a comment on the reality that Suleiman has never experienced Palestinian independence in his lifetime - and wonders whether he ever will.
It does not aim to be a historical dramatisation, but provides an inventive, artistic portrayal of what happened in Nazareth starting in 1948 then jumping forward to the present day. Suleiman’s style is often absurdist, but some of the story’s most bizarre moments are rooted in events that actually took place. For example, the Zionist forces donning keffiyeh in order to fool Palestinian villagers as they advanced, or enjoying a cigarette with Arabic music while clearing out the former homes of Palestinian residents.

” His film features interviews with former Israeli soldiers, mostly all in their 90s now, as they recount what happened at Tantura and the role that they had played in the killings. It also features tapes from research conducted by Teddy Katz and explores the way in which his investigation into the massacre was shut down. Many of the accounts are horrifying. Researcher Teddy Katz recorded more than 100 hours of testimony about the Tantura massacre (Reel Peak Films) What happened at Tantura was not an isolated event.
You can watch all episodes for free on Al Jazeera English The Time That Remains by Elia Suleiman (scripted feature, 2009) Like all of Suleiman’s films, The Time That Remains is a semi-autobiographical collection of stylised scenes - there’s tragedy, heartache but also moments of comedy. Despite the depiction of blindfolded Palestinian men awaiting their execution in olive groves or the exploration of generational trauma, the film has an absurd and disarming playful style.
