Stay with us. Correspondent is next. My name is matthew cassel. Im a photographer and a journalist. I grew up jewish in america and i support the palestinian struggle against occupation. Support resign is and israel is strong in the Jewish American community. And my support for palestinians has caused a rift in my family. After travelling in america to better understand u. S. Support for israel. Im now headed to the middle east to trace my own story and see the conflict through the eyes of those who live in many ways the story of modern zionism starts in europe with Great Britain playing a prominent role after world war one and the breakup of the ottoman empire, britain took control of the land of palestine. During 28 years of the british mandate, thousands of jews fled antisemitic attacks in europe and emigrated to palestine with the hopes of the stablish in the homeland. In 1948, british rule came to an end in palestine, and the state of israel was declared on may 14th, londons east, and has hosted immigrants from around the world most recently from the indian subcontinent. But at the turn of the 20th century, this district largely consisted of jewish immigrants who had fled antisemitic attacks in eastern europe. But in my view, i was curious if it used to be a synagogue or through that well, yeah. Jewish synagogue. Yeah. Dont tell that to most people know about how used to be said about, you know, no one knows the history. All right, thank you. Very good. Set up. In 1906 theodore heard so a jewish writer from austria, hungary addressed a large rally in the east and calling for the return of the jewish people to college time. He would later be considered by many to be the founder of modern zionism and a major catalyst for the creation of israel. I was in london to promote a book that i coedited, written by arab writers whose countries were swept up in the wave of arab uprisings in 2011. The Frontline Club hosted a Panel Discussion with the editors and authors. Its not, some people are very optimistic, some people are hopeful, some evil person is good. But you know, theres a, theres a process that happened. The uprising i havent got any sense of regret from people who are me was didnt know what the freedom means. You know, i dont know what you want not to see a president or a Prime Minister the people of us. But what they see and we need to change is that society itself. Its a great pleasure to be here with these 4 individuals tonight. Thank you all. Coming and contributing. Journalist rachel xabi came to moderate the discussion. She comes from an arab jewish families who left their native iraq after israels creation. We met up the next day at edgware road, which is long, been a hub for arab culture in london. And theyd see this was the place where you go to feel like youre in the middle east and environment and you can see all they are being used. Maybe theres a in her writing, rachel argues the Jewish Nationalism. And the creation of israel in 1948, forced arab jewish communities to abandon the countries theyve been living in for centuries. A Iraqi Jewish Community was 2000 years old. It was big, it was vibrant at one point. It was a quarter of a population of it. Why did they leave . Did they want to really live the life she came untenable in the middle east, so it rooted communities of jews. The 2 longstanding deep, very integrated relationships in the middle east. They had to hide his identity, arab jews, that became extinct because of signers of, you know, there are 2 different time metrically opposed movement seeking. You will see in seeking your alleged allegiance. So which one of the sign isnt israel to say, well, youre jewish, you know, we have the answer to you, youll, youll identity questions. Ill say it here. Why cant they be arab or jewish . And part of israel at the same time because that wasnt the identity. But its around one of itself. I mean, israel sees itself as a european country that somehow took the wrong turn and ended up in the middle east. So how do you identify well, im a hybrid suv, you know, identifying myself as british. But i do have a jewish iraqi her until i also struggle with the question of my identity because israel claims to be the home for jewish people, many in the arab world come from judaism with israel. So its not always easy to discuss my jewish background in the middle east. I spent more than 4 years living in beirut from 2007 until 2011. Although i love chicago and the people there, theres a certain indescribable warmth in the middle east that i feel many people have always offered me as a foreigner. I am one of the is one of my closest friends who i met when i 1st came to live in on living together since 2007. So ive seen the ups and downs of the new world of being a baby. Im going to go when you feel ok was it was the nose a journalist and still lives in the apartment. We used to share yes, loudly guess. Just see if you like people with you in the same balcony. So this apartment has always felt like home to me and i was happy when i saw that many of the photos i had taken of palestinian life in refugee camps. Were still hanging on the walls. How did we meet . You said that you were looking for them and i was looking for a place to stay. Yeah. But then you said the place needs a lot of work. And i said, ill take about the ask. I jus never did. I painted the whole of the whole place, the place was it was even more of a mass back then. Still was, it was more of a mask, but the 6 years later, i remember just before we met, i met our friend rima, and i asked her, i think its like my 1st or 2nd day in lebanon, and i asked her, you know, like so which religion do you belong to . And she almost smacked me and i remember why is that such a sensitive issue . You ask people about, i remember that . Yeah, you 2 asked me and i was like, why this guys asking me, what is my sag . This is, this is a crucial issue for me. I dont want to be part of a group. Other tribe i want to be part of the collective. I dont see what difference it makes if one that judaism is recognized as one of them is judaism. As another see, the thing is that there was never think sentiments towards the jews in here as there was anti semitism in europe, for instance, nazis and the spanish inquisition times they were not perceived as an outside element. They were perceived as everyone else in the country. Things started going bad after 48 after 48. 00 actually after there has been some of the rumors or news against the jews in lebanon, and the other boys as being collaborators to the new jewish states that just got to be built in the middle of the middle east. Obviously it wasnt going around telling people you know that my background is jewish, that would have been a little weird. How do you think people would have reacted would react to this and certain places it could have been dangerous for you in places of the topic is a clothing designer from london and like rachel, she comes from an arab jewish background. Her family fled lebanon during the civil war. My father was born here, but you dont live here. You have never came here. But did you, did you grow up identifying as lebanese or . Yes, and now like a community, you dont really ever identify yourself as anything. I mean, i had 5 myself as a doctor, but my definitely felt more from my father and from the rest of my family more than i did. You know, i mean, i dont, i was not saying that if thats true, its kind of all mixed into one. Renee feel is hard to separate the jewishness from the lebanese ness of my family. I feel that both is what i didnt even know until i was probably too old and that there wasnt such thing as, as jewish arabs in the us, you know, like being jewish kind of is almost synonymous with being a supporter of israel. Yeah. Did you ever feel similarly . I dont think so because i think like i was quite ignorant and it was never taught by my family. So you never felt any connection, no tool. But i think in europe its different in america like being an anonymous with being an israeli, or whatever being zionist, when you like in lebanon, youre going to do you feel very uncomfortable talking about your jewish background . Yeah, definitely. I mean, i would be very picky about who i tell those kind of things to. I mean, i mean people think that the jews equals israelis and obviously this country is at war with israel. And people have a very kind of difficult history here in this country. I suppose you have blamed them. I mean, obviously that makes sense that they, if theyve been educated in israeli and jewish different things, then you can understand that reaction today. I mean, of course, its not like i would hold against them. We decided to get mad at a civil marriage based on our own beliefs that we are both none the religious nonsectarian people had to go through the mud, which is the not to the office. And he pulled out a book, an ancient book, really big block of this. He went through the names until he got to your last name. He stopped at it and like, gave me a look and said, jews, you know that i was like, oh no, i dont. You have to find school larry fine. Lets not stop at it to heaven. If you want to warn you, it took him an extra 2 minutes to digest that thought. According to most estimates, there are only a few dozen jews remaining in lebanon. All thats left of this once vibrant community is whispers, a synagogue, a jewish cemetery. The head of the Jewish Community in lebanon was afraid to speak to us because of the increasing sectarian tensions in the country. I came to lebanon because i wanted to understand the situation for Palestinian Refugees in this country. And when i came, it was in the middle of a battle in the, not a bit refugee camp in northern lebanon between the Lebanese Army and militants, from a group called the army, went into the care to try to root out 150 fighters or so ended up destroying entire camp of 3040000, people leveling it to the ground, forcing the inhabitants from that care to leave the camp with nothing but the clothes on their back. After the fighting ended, i was documenting their kind of struggle to return to their refugee camp and not have it. This isnt the 1st time that they have been made refugees. In 1948, the creation of the state of israel forced more than 700000 palestinians to flee their homes into neighboring countries like lebanon. Palestinians refer to this period as and which is arabic for the catastrophe. Its Palestinian Refugees comprise about half of the worlds palestinian population. There numbering in some 6000000. 00. And a lot of them are living in refugee camps without rights, without the ability to work without the ability to own and pass on land to their family members. And yet somehow they know so much about their homeland and they know so much that they want to return to it. During the time i spent at the camp, i became close to ziad, a showery, who i went back to visit. It had been over a year since we last saw each other. I should not only mean i should try to bluff him. Despite our closeness, i never told ziad that i had a jewish background. I was afraid of how we would react. I wanted to tell him, during my visit, just answered not have it refugee camp, and we have someone from the Army Intelligence who is this courting us into the camp. This is actually how it started in 1948, with palestinians, but they had these little homes or little tents in many cases and they basically just kept building on them. And thats what youll see with these benteke side, these prefabricated homes, they were given when they returned to not a bed in a few years ago. I arrived home made from temporary shipping containers provided by the u. N. I know that if you just want to live in our shoes for that time to let us down with some other things. If i were a shadow, i dont. 2 know that if youre in jail, you know, i need you, lets have it, the other people are going to have to even think, you know, youre going to come to visit me. Like many refugees in lebanon, were prevented by law from working in over 70 professions. Ziad is a laborer finding work wherever he can, but in the camps he has known 1st as a poet. His poems reflect Palestinian Refugees deep love for their homeland, an intense desire to return but that never was ok, but there was much too. One might need to keep. I view myself that i took that picture because it certainly cant. Thats my stuff. I like 6 am, feel christian, and thats to fishing on the sea or to the field. You know philistine must feel good knowing i have a cool god. So its good that philistine took the money out of being one who should have shopped for the studio. Oh shit. I didnt do it. When had no. What i would do in the studio in washington. Because a lot or doesnt do with enough to just put our thoughts on the screen to get into character of a dear jack for the screen. So ended a little bit that i thought of being counted for 3 and could only, yeah, i got up to 40 when i left it off in the studio, i thought necessity would call for help after the death was just a few. I got off this next level. Yes, thats how do i meet a site and i bust the doorway. I leave you in the wind and never let all those yards parents fled their home in 1948. Some of his family remains, including an aunt who stayed with her husband. Theyve only been able to correspond through letters and you caijing a phone call. But in the summer of 2000, both sides of the family travelled to the border. Were her brief moment, they were able to see each other again. For the 1st time in 52, we saw the same page. I will tell you that if i think i would move all of them, they would be through in their defense. It will come on shore to hear from you on the can they do more. He and the tab that on their own has of the car. And would i want to use our new key in the of that would model of the School District to say and it would lead doing on the has an additional fee to not adequately 50 of them with something of a fan wanted for a 5 mile shelf. Was never meant to put a lot of thats up to him. I will add more now on for the stop on up on fed him a little see why you would have never seen a boy about how leave with milk and machine will not be so warm out. Had lived in the last year and walked on its own to the fullest while deanie kept lebanon, will have no idea of the photo for people to buy though, are there you can wonder how they fuck it without him in the how can a law from the from the still there no matter how the the d. A. s office team in the midst of those years, it is usually about the thrills was no, no, no, didnt solve it all though one what this what here it was hard to talk openly was yad, particularly about my jewish background because i felt uncomfortable being followed by the 2 army minders who took notes on everything. We said it breaks my heart to see this man whos been like a father to me, yearn for a place that he may never see. I see id to meet me again the next day, this time by the sea where we could talk more freely. Hes an avid fisherman, so i stopped by a store to buy him a pole so that we can go fishing together. Susie, i know, i know, i bet you dont, we dont want you insulting the 3. So you could catch anything from shore drive to go on a boat from show you. Ok. I mean, you get plastic bags, its just all these fishermen, these fish dont know
