The Stones Cry Out (2013)
Voices Of The Palestinian Christians
In 1948, the history of Palestine changed forever, but little is ever said about the upheaval faced by its Christian minority. Christians have lived side by side with Muslims and Jews for almost two thousand years. An integral part of Palestinian society, they have shared in the events of recent history, yet their voices are seldom heard and worse: their existence often ignored.

Automated Apartheid: Walking Through Hebron Smart City
Join MintPress director Mnar Adley as she embarks on walking through the city of Hebron, where her family originates from. Known to Palestinians as the city of al-Khalil, Hebron is the largest and most populated Palestinian city in the West Bank. Dubbed by Israel as 'Hebron Smart City' -- this is where Israel tests its Draconian surveillance technology on the Palestinian population as part of what is called the Wolfpack surveillance system.
Mnar Adley takes us along her journey as she crosses through the most heavily armed and surveilled checkpoints in the world where Israel has set up an automated apartheid system to track Palestinian movement. Adley is joined by Palestinian activist Izzat Karake from Youth Against Settlements who chronicles the struggle against settler colonialism where armed Jewish settlers supported by Israeli soldiers are trying to take over the city to Judaize the quarter.

Report From Gaza: "Devastating" Israeli Raid to Free 4 Hostages Kills 270+ Palestinians
In one of the single bloodiest Israeli attacks in Gaza over the last eight months, at least 274 Palestinians were killed, including at least 64 children, and nearly 700 were wounded in a raid on the Nuseirat refugee camp on Saturday that freed four Israelis held hostage in Gaza since October 7. "Children were shot dead. Elderly people were shot dead. Women were shot dead," says Gaza-based journalist Akram al-Satarri, who was at the Nuseirat refugee camp on Saturday. Speaking to us from outside the Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir al-Balah — one of the last remaining hospitals that are partially functioning in Gaza — al-Satarri says the death toll is rising by the minute, as wounded Palestinians aren't able to receive the care they need. Al-Satarri also discusses the World Food Programme's recent suspension of aid operations in Gaza City and Israel's withholding of aid on the entire Gaza Strip.

"Massacre": Analyst Slams Israeli Military Raid That Frees 4 Hostages, Kills 270+ Palestinians
Israel's weekend attack on the Nuseirat refugee camp that freed four Israeli hostages and killed at least 274 Palestinians and wounded nearly 700 was reportedly supported by the Biden administration, which provided intelligence to Israel ahead of the raid. "There's no question that what unfolded in that operation was a massacre," says Palestinian American political analyst Omar Baddar. "To look at a death toll of this scale and then to celebrate this kind of operation as some sort of success, you would basically have to openly say that the lives of Israelis are more valuable than the lives of Palestinians." Baddar discusses the political and humanitarian impact of the raid and his outlook on ceasefire negotiations. "When push comes to shove, the Biden administration is unwilling to apply any meaningful pressure on Israel," he says. "That dynamic is not going to lead to anything positive."
