Palestinian & Israeli winners at Berlinale... [2. Yuval Abraham]

Yuval Abraham (co-director of ‚No Other Land’ and Israeli journalist) said:
„I want to say we are standing in front of you now. me and Basel are the same age, I am Israeli, Basel is Palestinian.
And in two days we will go back to a land, where we are not equal.
I living under a civilian-law and Basel is under military-law. We live 30 minutes from one another but I have voting rights and Basel is not having voting rights. I'm free to move where I want in this land Basel is like millions of Palestinians locked in the occupied West Bank.
This situation of apartheid, between us this inequality, it has to end. We ask how we can make a change to end the occupation. To move for a political solution and we don't really have the answer, but I think one answer is for people to really stand up. There are lot of powerful people in this room, there is a lot of ministers and and people whose voices are heard. We need to call for a ceasefire. We need to call for a political solution to end the occupation“.
