The Israeli security forces are quick to declare that Salma's trees pose a threat to the Ministers safety and issue orders to uproot them. Together with Ziad Daud, a young Palestinian lawyer, Salma goes all the way to the Israeli Supreme Court to try and save her trees. Her struggle raises the interest of Mira Navon, the Defense ministers wife, trapped in her new home and in an unhappy life. Despite their differences and the borders between them the two women develop an invisible bond, while forbidden ties grow stronger between Salma and Ziad.Canadian Home Video Rating: PG.DVD ; widescreen presentation ; Dolby digital.- Subjects: Feature films.; Foreign films; Fruit trees; Government property; Motion pictures, Israeli.; Video recordings for the hearing impaired.; Widows;

- October 7th : searching for the humanitarian middle / by Lederman, Marsha(Western arts correspondent),author.;
"In this emotional missive from the diaspora, Globe and Mail columnist Marsha Lederman writes from the humanitarian middle of the Israel-Palestine conflict. The best-selling and award-winning author and journalist reflects, with deep empathy, on the horrific October 7th attacks on Israeli citizens, rising anti-Semitism, and the brutal violence against civilians in Gaza. As one of the leading Canadian voices on Jewish identity, Lederman's impassioned work in the Globe has been a lifeline for readers since October 7th, 2023. This book captures the pain of so many: Marsha's prose has a way of cutting through the noise and capturing the humanity behind the headlines. She makes room for the reader to be conflicted, grieving, angry and unsure, and is with them through that process as she, like all of us, grapples with a new reality. As someone who is firmly against Netanyahu, believes in a two-state solution, and is a daughter of Holocaust survivors terrified by the rise in anti-semitism, Marsha's writing has captured the full complexity of the experience of reconciling an abhorrence of the violence against Israelis and Palestinians with the trauma and fear of rising prejudice around the world. This collection is a crucial archive capturing, in real time, a period of deep division with care, empathy, and grief."--- Subjects: Antisemitism; Arab-Israeli conflict; Israel-Hamas War, 2023-; Jews, Israeli; October 7 Hamas Attack, Israel, 2023.; Palestinian Arabs; War and society; War and society;
