‘Israeli Civil War Is COMING’ - Palestinian Citizen Of Israel

Palestinian journalist Rami Younis is “willing to bet [his] name” that Israel will break out into a civil war after its genocidal war on Palestine. “A civil war within Israel is inevitable,” he says. “This is happening. It's just a question of whether it's within the next year or the next two years.”

Rami Younis is a Palestinian filmmaker, writer, journalist and activist from Lyd. He was a 2019-20 Fellow at the Harvard Divinity School. As a journalist, he mainly wrote for the online magazine +972 and served as both writer and editor of its Hebrew sister site, “local call”, a journalistic project he co-founded, designed to challenge Israeli mainstream journalism outlets. Rami served as a parliamentary consultant and media spokesperson for Palestinian member of Knesset (Israeli parliament) Haneen Zoabi. Rami is also co-founder and manager of the first ever “Palestine Music Expo”: an event that connects local Palestinian music scene to the world wide industry. Younis was the host of the Arabic-language daily news show, “On the Other Hand."

Lyd is a feature-length, sci-fi documentary that shares multiple pasts, presents, and futures of the city of Lyd in Palestine/Israel. From the perspective of the city herself, voiced by Palestinian actress Maisa Abd Elhadi, the viewer is guided through the lifespan of a five-thousand-year-old city and its residents. Lyd was once a thriving Palestinian city with a rich history. In 636AD, It was even considered the first capital of Palestine. When the State of Israel was founded in 1948, Lyd became an Israeli city, and in the process, hundreds of Lyd’s Palestinian residents were massacred by Israeli forces, and most of the city’s 50,000 Palestinian residents were exiled. Today, the city has a Jewish Israeli majority and a Palestinian minority and is disinvested and divided by racism and violence. For Palestinians, Lyd’s story is a painful and tragic fall from grace, which is why the film dares to ask the question: what would the city be like had the Israeli occupation of Lyd never happened?

Using never-before-seen archival footage of the Israeli soldiers who carried out the massacre and expulsion, the city explains that these events were so devastating that they fractured her reality, and now there are two Lyds –– one occupied and one free. As the film unfolds, documentary portions follow a chorus of characters through their daily lives, creating a tapestry of the Palestinian experience of this city, and vivid animations use the language of speculative fiction to envision an alternate reality where the same documentary characters live free from the trauma of the past and the violence of the present. As the film cuts between fantastical and documentary realities, it ultimately leaves the viewer questioning which future should prevail.

My friends and fmaily thought i was "antisemitic" for almost 10 years.
The relief of them finally knowing what i was talking about is unreal. I feel like a human again.

It doesn’t really sound to me like Israel is the Middle East’s only democracy. In a democracy, you’re not allowed to arrest people for saying something you don’t like.

[Christy-etib]

I’m very nervous for this man’s safety

[ARCofRESISTANCE]

Thank you Katie and Rami. Independent journalists with journalistic integrity are the heroes of our time.

[teatreaoil]

Is he in Israel right now? I worry about his safety.

[mikeb]

Not the first time that I have heard that opinion. What he didn't mention was the state the "country" is in financially, income from tourism 0, investment 0 etc. Or the fact that thousands of people, mostly middle class liberals, (the small business owners, teachers, engineers, managers etc), have left there; probably never to return. That would take years to recover from but I don't think they can or will? They are virtually a pariah state.

[calmingcrist]

Rhetorical question;
what's the difference between "the chosen people" and "the master race"?

[makimomoo]

Israel is a bible story with a bad ending.

[paulgibby]

Unfortunately, from what I've seen, even the people mad at Netanyahu for not getting the hostages back, support the suppression/extinction of Palestinians. They are not enough to start a civil war, nor are the Hassidic Jews. They don't want to fight (I wouldn't think, being religious). I'm curious about Putin's offer to help Iran and Israel settle. He carries a "big stick" (Teddy Roosevelt reference). Thanks for sticking with this, Katie. You are great!

We feel that the whole world doesn’t want to stop this nightmare,

Excellent work by Katie Halper. Free Palestine ❤️

Mizrahis should realize Palestinians are their blood family, and it is not the Askhanazis !

They are gonna throw this guy in jail for his comments.

Where does Israel get its weapons?

Top 3
United States 66.5%
Germany 29.7%
Italy 4..7%

Israel is also home to a vast US arms depot set up in 1984 to pre-position supplies for its troops in case of a regional conflict, as well as to give Israel quick access to weapons in emergencies.The Pentagon shipped about 300, 000 155mm artillery shells from the War Reserve Stockpile Ammunition-Israel to Ukraine following the Russian invasion.
Stockpiled munitions at the depot have also reportedly been supplied to Israel since the start of the Gaza war.

What about the 120 thousand assault rifles that have been distributed to civilians? Are there any additional details? Because that’s not good at all.

[JamesMayToGoPlease]

I used to blindly, reflexively support Israel but that's *over.* My prayers now are for peace and justice for Palestine and her people. Keep up the great and necessary, factual reporting! Thank you :)

[allnamesaretakenful]

Israel is Democracy in the same way that shit is an Ice Cream Flavor.

[Mistic-bd]

It will be settlers verses isreal citizens next

[cranny]

Katie, can you remind your guest that the war started in 1948?
