9-3-2013 'Room 514': Israeli Film Looks at Gender, Justice, Sexuality & the Occupation - Mira Sucharov Open Zion

http://www.thedailybeast.com/openzion.html Thanks to Netflix, viewers outside of Israel can catch a glimpse of a compelling 2012 Israeli film that premiered at the International Film Festival Rotterdam. A “triumph of low-budget filmmaking,” as Variety calls it , Room 514 is a cinéma-vérité-style meditation on psychology, morality, identity and politics.

10-27-2014 Major Israeli construction company [Africa Israel Investments] pulls out of settlement industry +972

http://972mag.com/major-israeli-construction-company-pulls-out-of-settlement-industry/98089/   …The opposition took the form of protests, pressure on the British government to cut business ties with [Lev] Leviev, and divestment from his company. Between the profit he could make off the occupation and the profit he could lose in the rest of the world, Leviev chose the world. This is another huge victory for the boycott movement and the activists who choose to fight against the occupation nonviolently. This is a victory for those who want to tell Israelis that even if the occupation is currently profitable, things can easily change.
