الفرق بين العرب والغرب نقطة

تقول كيف؟؟...أنا أقولك

يعني هم غرب بس حنا عرب
والفرق بيننا نقطة

هم يفكرون أنهم شعب الله المختار، وحنا شعب الله المحتار
والفرق بيننا نقطة

هم يفكرون باستغلال الشعوب، وحنا نفكر باستقلال الشعوب
والفرق بيننا نقطة

هم قدروا يسوون بين بعضهم تحالف، وحنا سوينا تخالف
والفرق بيننا نقطة

هم عندهم المواطن وضعه مزبوط، وحنا المواطن عندنا مربوط
والفرق بيننا نقطة

مواطنون وصلوا لمرحلة الحصانة، بينما حنا في مرحلة الحضانة
والفرق بيننا نقطة

A Palestinian Woman

This documentary short film brings the viewer close to the conditions isolating Palestinians within their communities. It is filmed next to the separation barrier that Israel continues to build in the occupied Palestinian territories.

Terry Boulatta, mother, teacher and community activist, shows how the 27 foot high wall surrounds her neighborhood in East Jerusalem, dividing it from the adjacent community of Abu Dis, severing the historical bonds of the two communities. The wall contributes to the suffocation of life, the latest reality for Palestinians under occupation.

Terry takes us on a half hour drive to get from one side of the wall to the other, a trip that previously took only four minutes. We learn of the terminals and checkpoints through which Palestinians must pass to travel within their own territory.

Terry speaks of the illegal settlements and land confiscations as elements of apartheid, making the settlers "the masters of the land."
