The story of Hind Rajab, a 6-year-old girl trapped all alone in a car, surrounded by dead relatives, pleading over the phone for rescue, is among the most poignant and horrifying crimes in Israel’s ongoing American-backed genocide in Gaza – at least among those that are known.
As the sound of Israeli fire approached, Palestine Red Crescent Society paramedics Yusuf al-Zeino and Ahmed al-Madhoun set out to rescue Hind, as their colleagues at headquarters tried to keep the terrified child calm on the phone.
But despite coordination with the Israeli invaders, the rescue was not to be.
In act of unspeakable perfidy, the Israelis who gave permission for the rescue, would open fire, killing Hind and the two paramedics.
This is just one of the harrowing stories told in The Night Won’t End, a new documentary in Al Jazeera’s flagship Fault Lines series. Through forensic reconstructions and interviews with survivors and witnesses from four families, including Hind’s mother, the film details some of the horrifying atrocities Israel has perpetrated.
Unlike in so much media coverage, the voices and experiences of Palestinian victims are at the center of this harrowing but necessary film.
We are joined by Fault Lines executive producer Laila Al-Arian, an Emmy and Peabody award-winning journalist and author.
We watch some excerpts together and talk to Laila about the people whose stories are told in the film, the process of making it in the midst of a genocide and her analysis of media coverage of Gaza more generally.
Nora Barrows-Friedman, Asa Winstanley, Ali Abunimah and Jon Elmer of The Electronic Intifada were joined by Fault Lines executive producer Laila Al-Arian, an Emmy and Peabody award-winning journalist and author on the day 264 livestream. You can watch the entire broadcast here: [ Ссылка ]
