Documentary Film 'Tantura' Exposes The True Origin Of Israel & The Brutal Fascism It Represents
Israelis are learning no matter how racist and entitled one may be, you cannot create a safe haven by creating a catastrophe for other people.

One thing the US/Israeli genocide in Gaza — and now the West Bank — has shown is just how lied to we have been about the true fascistic nature of Israel and the death grip the big money Zionist lobby has on the government we finance. It’s time for Americans to step up and learn the true history about the truly evil nature of the foreign fascist government that now runs the White House, Congress, State and War departments.
As a recent report in the Lancet medical journal reveals, the actual number of deaths of Palestinians in the US/Israel Gaza genocide is 186,000. It is time to understand the deep interactive, poisonous collaborative relationship between Zionism and Nazism. The two are so intertwined, in fact, I frequently now refer to it all as ZioNazism. That may sound extreme, but before assuming that I suggest reading Tony Greenstein’s excellent book “Zionism During The Holocaust: The Weaponization of Memory in the Service of State and Nation”. You can read a review and link to an excellent interview with Greenstein, here.
Time to learn the truth
The other myth — lie — we have been fed in America is about the supposedly heroic, even mythic establishment of the Israeli state after World War II. The lie was that Palestine was largely uninhabited; that the supposedly Promised Land for the Jews was an open, virgin land just waiting for the persecuted Jewish people to return.
Israeli Jewish filmmaker Alon Schwarz’s film “Tantura” shatters that myth by revealing the brutal truth and great lie of Israel: Palestine was inhabited and the occupation of the land was violent, viscous and in many cases — as we see with Israeli treatment of Palestinian prisoners today — obscene.
“Tantura” is a powerful, essential insight into understanding the true history of the US/Israel Gaza genocide we arm and fund today and why Americans need to wake up to the nature of the big-money Zionist forces not only murdering innocents in Gaza but that has hijacked this government.
Below you can watch the short trailer for the film, an interview with Schwarz and link to the entire documentary. We owe it to every murdered child in Gaza to know, acknowledge and act upon the truth.
“Basically, the project of Zionism has a problem. It’s a tragedy in a sense. Jews had to escape from Europe to find a safe haven, but you cannot create a safe haven by creating a catastrophe for other people.”
— Ilan Pappe, Israeli academic and author of “The Ethnic Cleansing of Gaza” (2007).
“I remember the battle for Tentura. It was a serious battle. The village was eradicated.”

Hundreds of Palestinian villages were depopulated in 1948. To Israelis, it was the War of Independence, to Palestinians it was 'Al Nakba' - the Catastrophe. Director Alon Schwarz revisits former Israeli soldiers as well as Palestinian residents in an effort to re-examine what happened in Tantura, the location of an alleged, Israeli-perpetrated massacre, and find out why 'Al Nakba' is still a taboo in Israeli society.

We showed the film "Tantura" this past spring during our Palestinian Film Festival here in Toledo. It is one of the most chilling documentaries I've ever seen. (https://mdctoledo.org/) I still get chills thinking how blase and matter-of-fact these old men are relating the war crimes they committed or saw committed when they were younger. I recommend everyone watch it and also the documentary "1948: Creation and Catastrophe" which is available online for free at Kanopy. They both explain so much and make me shake my head--why weren't we told about these crimes years ago? It shows you how much the US and other Western governments are under control of the genocidal Zionists. It's past time for us to cut ties with Izrealhell and to put Biden and Netanyahu in prison for war crimes.
Thank you for sharing this … it is difficult to track all the films and books we should be reading/watching. If only we had been educated decades ago. Yet another issue to be angry about… and I don’t want to be angry. Old age has taken a turn I never ever even considered. Wow
