DESCRIPTION:Jenin Jenin, directed and co-produced by Palestinian actor and director 
 Mohamed Bakri, includes testimony from Jenin residents after the Israeli 
 army's Defensive Wall operation, during which the city and camp were the 
 scenes of fierce fighting. The operation ended with Jenin flattened and 
 scores of Palestinians dead. Palestinians as well as numerous human rights 
 groups accused Israel of committing war crimes in the April 2002 attack on 
 the refugee camp. Jenin Jenin shows the extent to which the prolonged 
 oppression and terror has affected the state of mind of the Palestinian 
 inhabitants of Jenin.\n\nBitterness and grief are the prevailing feelings 
 among the majority of the population. Many have lost loved ones or are 
 still searching for victims and furniture among the debris. A little girl, 
 who does not seem to be much older than twelve, tells her story but knows 
 no fear. The ongoing violence in her day-to-day life only nourishes her 
 feelings of hatred and the urge to take revenge. She tells what she would 
 do to Prime Minister Sharon if he visited the camp and she shouts that the 
 Palestinians will never give up the struggle. They will keep on producing 
 children, who can continue the fight against injustice.\n\nBanned in 
 Israel, Jenin Jenin is dedicated to Iyad Samoudi, the producer of the film. 
 On June 23, as Israeli forces besieged Yamun, Samoudi was shot and killed 
 as he was leaving a military-closed area with three friends.\n\nDr. Sharat 
 Lin will give a presentation on the origins of the Israel Palestine 
 conflict and an update on the current Israeli attacks on Gaza.  Sharat is a 
 writer on the Middle East, former President of the San Jose Peace and 
 Justice Center, and an originator of the Cairo Declaration on Global 
 BDS.\n\nFor more information 408.297.2299 or\nemail:
