I attended this event and Avigail brilliantly sums up the reactions of people who attended: revulsion at the brutality of the Israelis, awe at the courage and resilience of Mohammed and his people and a determination to act in support of the victims of these war crimes. This must involve exposing the complicity and cowardice of our own media and public representatives and their connivance in these vile crimes 🇮🇪👍💚🇵🇸

I was fortunate to attend the screening in Aberdeen this week. What a powerful and moving film and Mohamad is a beautiful, humble human being - truly embodying sumud. The determination of the Palestinians is remarkable - seeing how a school for Bedouin children was built overnight in 11 hours in secrecy and darkness; a whole community working together. And when it was destroyed by settlers they set up a tent school and kept on teaching.

Mohamad also described the struggle to even leave the West Bank - the arbitrary decisions at each checkpoint and 3 different authorities to satisfy in order to cross the Jordan border.

I hope the film reaches a much wider audience ✊🏽🇵🇸
