Even before Israel began the huge bombing attacks on Gaza starting 12/27/08, Israel had already been committing crimes against the people of Gaza. Richard Falk, UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, issued a statement on 12/9/08 about the ongoing cruelty and unlawfulness of the Gaza blockade imposed by Israel. Falk, who is Jewish, explained that, "such a policy of collective punishment, initiated by Israel to punish Gazans for political developments within the Gaza strip, constitutes a continuing flagrant and massive violation of international humanitarian law as laid down in Article 33 of the Fourth Geneva Convention

These videos were produced by Memorial Human Rights Center in Grozny, Chechnya in collaboration with WITNESS. The videos explore the struggle to keep alive cultural traditions in the wake of ongoing conflict in the region, as well as the lack of justice for people and their families who have been forcibly disappeared throughout the conflict.
These are short videos guides about how to create videos for change. More information is available at http://hub.witness.org/en/acti on/toolkit
