What’s The Story?: Yacoub Ahmad Odeh in Lifta
Yacoub
Ahmad Odeh was 8 years old when he was expelled from Lifta during the
Palestinian Nakba of 1948. Today he lives in East Jerusalem, only a few
kilometers from his home village but he is banned from living in his
home village by Israel. Still, over 70 years later, he is still
determined to return to Lifta and is helping lead the fight against
Israeli plans to turn Lifta into a Jewish neighborhood of West
Jerusalem.
As told to producer/director Ghousoon Bisharat and
cinematographer/editor Thomas Dallal.
