Farha - a movie about the Nakba

We talk about the film Farha now available on Netflix: based on a true story of one young woman's experience during the Nakba. The Nakba is the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians by Israelis in 1948. We talk about Israel's backlash to the film and attempted boycott. Miko shares about his personal experience learning about the Nakba - at first disbelief but then accepting it after hearing so many personal stories directly from Palestinians.

We also touch on various other topics:

We talk about the massacre in Lyd in 1948. Miko references an interview on YouTube with the Israeli who shot a rocket into a mosque. Here's the video on YouTube with the Lyd (Lod for Israelis) discussion starting at 10:51: https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=651&v=lDEiUY8mW0Y&feature=youtu.be
