Review: Palestine ’36
Year: 2026
Runtime: 1hr 59 min
Director: Annemarie Jacir
Writer: Annemarie Jacir
Actors: Hiam Abbass, Yasmine Al Massri, Karim Daoud Anaya, Robert Aramayo, Jeremy Irons, and Liam Cunningham
By Guest Reviewer Alexei Holloway
It would be hard to find a film more timely than “Palestine ‘36” (2026.) Written and directed by Annemarie Jacir, “Palestine ‘36” is a historical drama that immerses its viewers into the Palestinian perspective of the Palestinian Revolt of 1936.
The film follows the stories of three Palestinian families: Yusuf, Hanan, and Afra; Khouloud and her husband Amir, and Father Boulos, a Christian priest, and his son Kareem.
Yusuf, played by Karim Daoud Anaya, is from the fictional village of al Basma and finds himself torn between village life and city life. When Yusuf’s father is killed and his brother is arrested, Yusuf joins the rebels who live in the countryside. However, the rebel’s actions bring increased British scrutiny and raids to his village and threaten the lives of his family and neighbors.
Khouloud, played by the amazing Yasmine Al Massri, is a journalist writing under the pseudonym of Ahmad Canaanli because people will only read her articles if they believe she is a man. Khouloud is a firm believer in Palestinian autonomy and reports on the British army’s violent repressive measures and the Zionist settlers’ seemingly neverending stealing of Palestinian land. Her husband, Amir, is a landlord who believes he can retain his wealth and power if he works with the British and the Zionist settlers.
Father Boulos, played by Jalal Altawil, and Kareem are members of Yusuf’s village and the fact that they are Christian Palestinians who side with their Muslim neighbors flabbergasts the British.
The film’s greatest strength is its cast. Predictably, Jeremy Irons is the perfect face of British indifference to indigenous people’s rights and humanity and Robert Aramayo’s Orde Wingate is appropriately cruel and fanatic. Dhafer L’Abidine provides Amir, a man we should hate, with just enough charm to turn his character into a walking tragedy. The moment he realizes that he’s betrayed his people for nothing is one of the most haunting moments in a film full of haunting moments.
However, the true stars of the film are the female leads: Hiam Abbass and Yasmine Al Massri. Hiam Abbass’ Hanan is a loving mother with a spine of steel who does whatever she can to protect her family and land, even if that means helping a wounded rebel and hiding arms from the British. She is often left alone, weaponless and at the mercy of British patrols but never cowers or hesitates. She is the ultimate representation of the inner strength of every Palestinian mother, wife, and sister who has survived the worst anyone can imagine and still gets up in the morning to do it all over again.
Yasmine Al Massri’s Khouloud is, perhaps, the star of the film. She is absolutely charming, courageous, and powerful as the voice of the Palestinian people. As a member of the elite, she is often gathering secrets from British diplomat Thomas and insulting Wingate before leaving him to deal with matters of real importance. Although she knows Amir does not agree with her pro-Palestinian stance, she still loves him and never imagines he’d actually work with the Zionist settlers to sellout their own land. She is crushed by his betrayal but not broken and continues to fight for a free Palestine.
“Palestine ‘36″’s vast and complicated story combined with its two hour runtime creates choppy pacing, underdeveloped relationships, obscures the depth and brutality of the Zionist and British alliance, and prevents the full exploration of the many ideas it introduces. At the same time, what it manages to cover is both impressive and heartbreaking. While far from a perfect movie, it is an important film that tells the story of the carving up of Palestine from the Palestinian perspective; a perspective that has been overshadowed and suppressed for the last seventy years. The power of Palestinian voices is what makes this movie a must see.

Irish actor Liam Cunningham, known for a prominent role in Game of Thrones, explained to Virgin News last Friday why he’s outspoken on Palestine.
Cunningham has shown support on his social media platforms for Palestine throughout Israel’s war on Gaza.

The peace ship Madleen has been violently boarded by Israeli military, spraying a thick, stinging substance as they arrived. Yesterday, 13 people were killed by Israeli fire near an aid station in Rafah, Gaza. The Israelis say "Humanitarian aid is delivered regularly and effectively via different channels and routes, and is transferred through established distribution mechanisms". Famine is raging in Gaza

[Thread] While on the TurdSite (to see the implosion), I came across some gems that I had posted years ago -- some involving #GretaThunberg . I thought folks might get a kick out of them. Here's the first one (from 2019)... (And considering #LiamCunningham from #GoT is with her on the #FreedomFlotilla, I thought it even more appropriate).

[Translated into English] Press release – Let the #FreedomFlotilla pass on its way to #Gaza
5 June 2025
"On Thursday, Israeli Defense Minister #IsraelKatz and senior military officials meet to decide the fate of the Freedom Flotilla crew, Israeli public channel Kan 11 reveals. The Israeli authorities have already decided that the ship should not approach Palestinian territory.
"On board the ship are the French MP #RimaHassan, the activist Greta Thunberg, as well as ten non-violent activists determined to deliver vital humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza.
"The Freedom Flotilla is in danger of being intercepted in international waters, with a possible arrest of the crew, or towed by force to the Israeli port of #Ashdod, where the militants could be detained.
"This decision comes at a time when several #UnitedNations special rapporteurs call for a safe passage for this humanitarian vessel. They recall that the people of Gaza have a fundamental right to receive humanitarian assistance through their territorial waters, and that the Freedom Flotilla has the right to move freely in international waters, in accordance with international maritime and humanitarian law.
"France insoumise makes an appeal:
" 'To the Governments of the countries from which the members of the crew originate, so that they guarantee a safe passage for the ship and the safety of its crew;
" 'At the international level, to put an end to the impunity enjoyed by a State that threatens unarmed civilians in defiance of international and #humanitarian conventions;
" 'To civil society, to increase this call and to demand the immediate protection of the ship and its crew.' "

[Translated into English] #GazaFlotilla: #Israel Ready to Send Elite #Military Commando Against Women #Activists
While the #FreedomFlotilla crew is expected to reach Gaza around 7 June, the Israeli authorities have unveiled their intention to intercept it before by force.
The Jerusalem Post revealed preparations for a military operation to prevent the #Madleen ship from reaching the shores of the besieged enclave, including through the intervention of the elite commando #Shayetet13.
Cathu Isnard
5 June, 2025"While the Freedom Flotilla, part of Sicily on 1 June, may see its arrival in Gaza delayed by its relief to several Sudanese migrants in the Mediterranean Sea, Israeli authorities and leaders are preparing for their arrival in Gaza by considering how to minimize the positive impact of this symbolic operation on the Palestinian people and their supporters. According to Israeli military sources quoted by the Jerusalem Post, the armed forces are contemplating a clear scenario: if the flotilla passengers refuse to turn around at the request of the IDF, a naval commando, Shayete 13, could be deployed to board the boat and take control to arrest passengers there, including Rima Hassan and Greta Thunberg.
"The aim would then be to forcibly transfer them to the Israeli port of Ashdod before expelling them from the territory, sending the militants back to their respective countries of origin. Behind this well-oiled military plan lies the desire to avoid at all costs the symbol of pro-Palestinian militants breaking the Israeli blockade that is starving the Palestinian population. The use of the elite forces of Shayet and 13 confirms the will of the Israeli ruling class to silence by force any voice that dares to defy the siege and genocide under way in Gaza, with the complicity of the imperialist states.
Shayet 13: a name that evokes state violence"The possible use of Shayet 13 is not trivial. This Israeli naval commando is infamous for its role in the deadly boarding of the humanitarian fleet of the Mavi Marmara in 2010. At the time, Israeli soldiers killed nine Flotilla militants wishing to reach Gaza, including eight Turkish citizens and one American-Turkish, in international waters. A cynically condemned attack on the international scene and by the leaders of the imperialist States, without withdrawing their support for Israel's colonial and murderous policies.
"That Israel now plans to reuse the same unit to intercept the Madleen demonstrates the continuity of a warlike and repressive logic. It is not a police operation, but a demonstration of military force against civilians armed with food, medicine and political demands. The reflection of the heroism of the crew members on board the ship which unmasks all the cowardice and cynicism of #ColonialViolence.
"In the face of this threat of military aggression, defending the flotilla is defending the right to solidarity, it is to refuse the erasure of Gaza behind the barbed wires of a criminal blockade and the deafening media silence on the ongoing massacres. The courage of the Madleen passengers must be a lever to move forward in the construction of a powerful international solidarity movement, in which the workers’ movement has a central role to play, as the Fos-sur-Mer dockworkers have shown on Wednesday. This is the only way to stop the genocidal machine at work, supported by our leaders."

#Irish actor #LiamCunningham is working with activists from around the world in an effort to stop the #genocide by the #Israeli military regime. It is #German and #US arms that are murdering people in #Gaza and we need to expose those who fund, support, defend the mass murder. That's your role #American and #German citizens. By doing nothing you are complicit in the genocide. Stop the sales of arms, dox politicans who support the killing and make life hell for #Israeli citizens.

#Israel facing huge dilemma over whether to assassinate Liam and Greta
Life as a #genocidal #SettlerColony can be hard.
"You just want to quietly go about your day, exterminating the natives to fulfil your Biblical prophecy of Disney Land Gaza, but you keep running into problems like 'international law' and 'public opinion'.
"Apparently, a majority of the international public now hates the world's only murderous ethno-state - and no one is clear why such antisemitism is out of control. Must be Tiktok, I guess.
Israel was close to clearing the skeletal population out of Gaza when they heard something truly terrifying is on its way."No, not the asteroid at the edge of the solar system that may or may not be an earthbound alien mothership! I'm talking about something much scarier: international wanted terrorist Greta Thunberg and her second-in-command Liam Cunningham, a fearsome warrior who was forged in the fires of Westeros. The pair are travelling aboard a flotilla of... humanitarian aid ships.
"As you can imagine, the 4"10 autistic girl and her loyal assistant strike fear into the heart of every IDF soldier. The situation could only be scarier if Ms Rachel was aboard one of those vessels, but that doesn't bear thinking about.
"In a sane world, Israel would have every right to protect itself from humanitarian aid ships that were bound for another country. Israeli intelligence shows the so-called '#FreedomFlotilla' is planning to arm #Palestinians with food, and apparently, Israel is expected to sit back and do nothing. Thankfully, our rulers are staying quiet and preparing to blame Greta if things get out of hand. Whether the public and the ICC judges accept their shit is another matter..
"Israeli drone operatives are in a difficult position: if they do what they want to the Freedom Flotilla, they could find themselves charged with 'war crimes', and if they allow the boats to get through, it will set the precedent that Palestinians eat. As you can imagine, Israeli strategists are in panic mode, trying to figure out the best way forward.
"In the past, Israel's actions have ranged from bombing aid vessels, to boarding them and gunning everyone down, to showing restraint and strip searching the entire crew. You can't miss an opportunity to needlessly strip search people, can you? What do you think they are? The world's most moral army?
"Clearly, the only reasonable course of action is for the Freedom Flotilla to turn around and let Israel continue with the aid distribution effort alone.
"At present, brave IDF soldiers are thanklessly getting on with the task of gunning civilians down as they queue for food. If Greta tries to feed Gaza, the world's most trigger-happy army can't be held responsible for its actions, can it?"
