‘Sons of Lifta’ follows refugees from the village as they return to Lifta on Land Day 2013, more than 65 years after their original forced displacement. Through the eyes and actions of Lifta’s new generations, following in the footsteps of their ancestors, it becomes clear that the Zionist belief that ‘the old will die out and the young will forget’ never accounted for the strength of Palestinian sumoud (steadfastness) or the deep-rooted connection to home.
This new short-film was produced by BADILs Ongoing Nakba Education Center which uses multi-media advocacy tools to document Palestine’s Ongoing Nakba. To view more films, photo-stories and audio pieces, please see the project website:

Thank you for sharing Land Day. One day, The Land of Olives will once again belong to the people who love her heart and soul.
NAKBA… suggests the opposite of Zionist wishful belief. Israel is a lunatic apartheid nation state founded on the blood of savagery and tribe-all-eeego racism. There will be a one $tate solution… or the so called holy lands is fated to become a sheet of black radioactive glass.
