The Zionist
Story
Video
The Zionist
Story, an independent film by Ronen Berelovich, is the
story of ethnic cleansing, colonialism and apartheid to
produce a demographically Jewish State.
Ronen successfully combines archival footage with
commentary from himself and others such as Ilan Pappe,
Terry Boullata, Alan Hart and Jeff Halper.

"I
have recently finished an independent documentary, The
Zionist Story, in which I aim to present not just the
history of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, but also the
core reason for it: the Zionist ideology, its goals (past
and present) and its firm grip not only on Israeli
society, but also, increasingly, on the perception of
Middle East issues in Western democracies.
These concepts have already been demonstrated in the
excellent 'Occupation 101' documentary made by Abdallah
Omeish and Sufyan Omeish, but in my documentary I
approach the subject from the perspective of an Israeli,
ex-reserve soldier and someone who has spent his entire
life in the shadow of Zionism.
I hope you can find a moment to watch The Zionist Story
and, if you like it, please feel free to share it with
others. (As both the documentary and the archived footage
used are for educational purposes only, the film can be
freely distributed).
I have made this documentary entirely by myself, with
virtually no budget, although doing my best to achieve
high professional standard, and I hope that this 'home-spun'
production will be of interest to viewers." - Ronen
Berelovich.
