We end this season in the week before Christmas, once again in the Holy Land, with a poignant and powerful look at a city in Israel that most Westerners have never heard of: Lyd, the ancient capital of Palestine, now a thriving Israeli city thanks to the 1948 massacre and mass deportation of its Muslim citizens. This poignant and powerful documentary imagines the alternate history that might have been without the horrors of 1948.
Let us hope by the time of this screening the American-financed and armed slaughter will have come to an end. Apologies and blessings to our Arab and Muslim fellow Michiganders and our beloved Jewish brothers and sisters who are beside themselves with grief over last October 7th and over a prime minister Netanyahu intent on destroying the state he rules.
