ISRAELI APARTHEID
VIDEO CONTEST
Arabic
Spanish
You are invited to submit short videos [up to 5 minutes] on the theme of Israeli Apartheid.
Videos should reflect the nature, realities, and/or consequences of the apartheid policy in Israel and the occupied areas.
As part of the colonial conflict in Palestine, Israel has instituted a policy of apartheid that separates Palestinians from Israelis and Palestinians from each other, creating an oppressive and racially discriminatory system.
It denies basic Palestinian rights to land, education, movement, and housing while devastating the economy, trying to undermine civil society, and forcing continuous displacement upon the majority of Palestinians.
