''Jenin, Jenin'' is a film directed by Mohammed Bakri, a prominent Arab actor and Israeli citizen, in order to portray what Bakri calls "the Palestinian truth" about the "Battle of Jenin",〔(ynet 5 לוחמי ג'נין תובעים את מוחמד בכרי - תרבות ובידור ). Ynet.co.il (1995-06-20). Retrieved on 2010-11-20.〕〔()〕 a clash between the Israeli army and Palestinians in April 2002 which drew Palestinian accounts of the "Battle of Jenin" ((アラビア語:مجزرة جنين)). ==Background== A month after 18 Israelis had been killed in two separate attacks, and a few days after a suicide bombing in Netanya killed 30 and injured 140,〔(UN Report on Jenin )〕 the Israeli Defense Forces called up 30,000 reserve soldiers and launched Operation Defensive Shield. During Operation Defensive Shield in April 2002, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) invaded a Palestinian refugee camp in Jenin. The Israeli military refused to allow journalists and human rights organizations into the camp for "safety reasons" during the fighting, leading to a rapid cycle of rumors that a massacre had occurred. Jenin remained sealed for days after the invasion. Stories of civilians being buried alive in their homes as they were demolished, and of smoldering buildings covering crushed bodies, spread throughout the Arab world. Various casualty figures circulated, a senior Palestinian official accused Israel of massacring more than 500 people in the camp. UN fact-finding mission was not allowed by Israeli to enter Jenin.〔http://www.npr.org/programs/morning/transcripts/2003/jan/030101.gradstein.html| National Public Radio. Morning Edition: January 1, 2003 "Israel Bans Film about Jenin Refugee Camp"〕 Bakri participated in a nonviolent demonstration at a checkpoint during Israel’s 2002 invasion of Jenin and was shocked when Israeli soldiers shot at the crowd, wounding a fellow actor standing next to him. He tells audiences that this experience inspired him to sneak into Jenin with a camera and ask residents, “What happened?”〔Jane Adas, (Filmmaker Mohammad Bakri Screens His Latest Film in New York ) ''Washington Report on Middle East Affairs,'' September/October 2007, p. 42〕 The result was the documentary ''Jenin Jenin'', featuring a range of testimonies which suggested that a massacre had indeed occurred. Bakri gave voice to the perspective of Palestinians which would not reach the media due to the sealing of the city; as a result he chose not to interview Israeli officials for the film. Human Rights Watch investigations found 'no evidence to sustain claims of massacres or large-scale extrajudicial executions by the IDF in Jenin refugee camp' although they reported that 'Israeli forces committed serious violations of international humanitarian law, some amounting prima facie to war crimes.〔(Jenin: IDF Military Operations - Summary )〕 The accusation of war crimes was repeated by Amnesty International.〔http://www.nytimes.com/2002/11/04/world/amnesty-accuses-israeli-forces-of-war-crimes.html?partner=rssnyt&emc=rss| The New York Times. "Amnesty Accuses Israeli Forces of War Crimes" By JOEL GREENBERG〕 Human Rights Watch estimates that between 53-56 Palestinians were killed during the Israeli offensive, just over half of them suspected to be armed combatants.〔 Israel concurs that around 50 Palestinian died, but describes the event as a battle and blames civilian deaths on the close proximity of fighters and civilians. 23 Israeli soldiers died. The film title referenced Palestinian taxidrivers calling "Ramallah, Ramallah, Ramallah," or "Jenin! Jenin!" to Palestinian workers and travellers moving through Israeli checkpoints. Bakri dedicated the film to its producer, Iyad Samoudi, who was killed by Israeli soldiers, at al-Yamun in the Jenin Governorate of the West Bank, shortly after filming ended. The IDF said that Samoudi was an armed member of the al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades.〔http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/957775.html Haaretz: T.A. cinema to screen 'Jenin, Jenin' on eve of director's libel trial〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jenin, Jenin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
