Abby Martin’s Film Gaza Fights For Freedom Humanizes World’s Largest Concentration Camp
Abby Martin’s new documentary film Gaza Fights for Freedom is
an excellent movie that is difficult to watch, and disturbing at times,

GAZA, OCCUPIED PALESTINE — In her new documentary film, Gaza Fights for Freedom, journalist Abby Martin places the Gaza Strip under a microscope for the viewers to see. The result is an excellent movie that is difficult to watch, and disturbing at times, precisely because it presents a true, realistic view of life in Gaza. The movie shows how a small, courageous nation — locked up in the world’s largest concentration camp, facing inexcusable, unjustifiable and unforgivable violence — refuses to give up on its hopes and dreams and continues to fight for life.
Nothing left but bones
Heroism and cliches aside, the conditions in the Gaza Strip are horrifying. As one father interviewed in the movie says: “We are alive only by name… Gaza is no longer Gaza; all that is left of it are bones.” He may be referring to the distant past when the city of Gaza was one of the most important, prosperous and prestigious cities not only in Palestine but in the entire Middle East.
Perhaps what is most refreshing about Martin’s work is that the voices one hears are clear, authentic, Gazan voices. She makes no attempt to create the artificial “balance” one too often has to endure in movies and reports about Palestine in general and Gaza in particular. As though the Israelis who kill and maim and keep 2.2 million civilians caged and under siege in the Gaza Strip have a right to be heard. As though an explanation or justification can be given to the sheer cruelty and brutality exercised by Israel.
More than just bombs

Blogger's note: The Zionists love to utter the words "Never again", while they perpetrate a far worse holocaust upon non jews. This treatment of non-jews or should I say goyim as non-jews are described in their Talmud. It authorizes jews killing, torture, lies, cheating, rape, etc.. Why because they declare themselves "God's Chosen People". Remember that the Nazis were the master race, and that is decried as racist white supremacy, but no one utters a word about "god's chosen people".
