A thought-provoking and powerful documentary film on the current and historical root causes of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Unlike any other film ever produced on the conflict -- 'Occupation 101' presents a comprehensive analysis of the facts and hidden truths surrounding the never ending controversy and dispels many of its long-perceived myths and misconceptions.
The film also details life under Israeli military rule, the role of the United States in the conflict, and the major obstacles that stand in the way of a lasting and viable peace. The roots of the conflict are explained through first-hand on-the-ground experiences from leading Middle East scholars, peace activists, journalists, religious leaders and humanitarian workers whose voices have too often been suppressed in American media outlets.
The film covers a wide range of topics -- which include -- the first wave of Jewish immigration from Europe in the 1880's, the 1920 tensions, the 1948 war, the 1967 war, the first Intifada of 1987, the Oslo Peace Process, Settlement expansion, the role of the United States Government, the second Intifada of 2000, the separation barrier and the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, as well as many heart wrenching testimonials from victims of this tragedy.
Ditengah Gencarnya serangan israel terhadap Gaza ternyata diam-diam MFA (kementrian luar negri) israel gencar juga membuat propoganda publik untuk memutar balikan pakta yang terjadi di Gaza dengan membuat website Israel Diplomatic Network dengan semua bahasa dunia, tidak terkecuali Bahasa Indonesia. coba deh googling pakai kata kunci israel atau Indonesia.
Ditengah Gelombang Protes Besar-besaran rakyat Indonesia, dan demo solidaritas ataupun demo kutukan buat israel yang memang Anti kemanusiaan dan perdamayan, dengan tidak malu dia membuat sebuah surat untuk para demonstran dengan kata dan pakta yang sungguh tidak punya rasa malu, sok benar dan seolah rakyat Indonesia tidak memiliki TV dan tidak mengetahui berapa jumlah rakyat sipil meninggal, siapa yang tidak percaya jika Iirael tidak membunuh rakyat? tidak membom sekolah? tidak membom mesjid? padahal dilapangan sampai hari ini sudah ribuan yang meninggal, ratusan anak-anak jadi korban, menghancurkan sekolah juga tempat-tempat umum, apapun alasan israel yang pasti dengan rasa kemanusiaan kita bahwa israel itu sang pembantai. (titik).
Ditengah maraknya perang "Image" di dunia maya israel mencoba menarik dukungan dari para blogger, hecker dan dedemit maya Indonesia yang konon jago sekali kalau sedang dinas menyerang situs negara tetangga, dengan menawarkan tawaran bahwa kerjasama perdagangan israel-Indonesia sangat menjanjikan, toh (kata mereka) microsoft, intel dan anti virus, firewall dan lainnya dikembangkan di israel, cuuh!! entahlah seolah pasukan hacker kita yang tegabung dalam beberapa komunitas free/underground dll seolah saat ini sedag asik didunianya, tanpa terlihat kontribusinya terhadap wabah anti humaniateran di Gaza, pada kemana ya? mungkin mereka turun kejalan berdemo, emang enggak ada niat demo secara online?
Jika anda seorang manusia, tentulah akan anti terhadap malapetaka yang anti kemanusiaan lihatlah situsnya klik disini atau bisa juga mengunjungi http://jakarta.mfa.gov.il/ dan baca percayalah jika saat itu juga anda ingin meludahi layar monitor anda.
Mungkin bagi sebagian rekan yang belum memiliki oprating system (OS) yang bisa menerima tulisan arab tidak akan kesulitan menulis langsung dalam tulisan arab, tapi jika keyboard kita masih latin dan OS kita juga enggak pamiliar dengan arab, maka jangan kawatir, coba deh gunakan pasilitas yang diberikan Yamli dot Com.

Muda, cantik, berpendidikan ... namun mereka pernah menjual tubuh mereka hanya sekedar untuk "hadiah". kok bisa? Mengapa? Bagaimana? jika penasaran bacalah hasil Investigasi majalah Telquel edisi minggu lalu yang khusus menyoroti fenomena buruk yang telah mecemari lingkungan SMA dan beberapa kampus di Maroko itu.
Saya tidak tertarik menterjemahkannya, karena model serupa pun telah terjadi di kita dan mencoreng gaya hidup beberapa kampus Indonesia, anyway yang mau baca.. bacaah sendiri disini.
Tapi ngomong-ngomong, soal portitusi emang sesuatu yang mudah didapat, percaya atau tidak, bahkan ketika dalam keadaan sulit pun bagi sebagian orang yang bermental instant dan kurang iman ia akan menjadi pilihan yang mudah dan murah meriah juga menguntungkan, walau resiko tinggi dikemudian hari sudah menganga siap mengancamnya.
Mari kita telusuri dunia maya, dan coba deh cari beberapa konten sekolah atau kata kunci di situs mesin pencari, dengan kata "SMA dan kampus" saja telah membawa kita kearah digitalisasi mesum, berapa banyak gambar dan video hasil portitusi kecil-kecilan para kaum pelajar yang sudah tersebar di internet dan mudah diakses, sehingga menjadi inspirasi bagi pelajar lainnya untuk mencobanya. atau paling tidak kita sendiri pun yang melihatnya telah terjerumus kepada dosa kecil yang kalau keseringan akan membesar juga dosanya. nah lho?
Justru yang menjadi bingung, kok kenapa masih banyak yang mengkalim bahwa penyebab ini semua adalah karena kita tabu membicarakannya, kita masih malu kalau berdiskusi soal "seks" dan saudaranya, walau paktanya dilapangan begitu mudah didapatkan, lihatlah begitu mudah gadis2 ngasih MSN/YM dan ngajak kencan online dan ngopi darat atau bagi bagi acount facebook/friendster dll...
(akkh... bosen... mohon maaf...terusin sendiri aje ye...) sesuai imajinasi masing-masing.. wakakaka...
Coba deh iseng googling berita seputar eksekusi Amrozi cs, anda akan menemukan situs yang "sepertinya mengaku-ngaku" memuat surat pernyataan"/statement yang ditanda tangani oleh tiga orang terpidana bom bali tersebut.
banyak nama yang disebut dan diserukan kepadanya perang dan halal dibunuh (coba lihat jangan-jangan ada nama anda,kerabat anda dan kekasih anda) hehehe... coba deh baca sendiri di situsnya.
"In four brief chapters," writes Clifford Geertz in his preface, "I have attempted both to lay out a general framework for the comparative analysis of religion and to apply it to a study of the development of a supposedly single creed, Islam, in two quite contrasting civilizations, the Indonesian and the Moroccan."
Mr. Geertz begins his argument by outlining the problem conceptually and providing an overview of the two countries. He then traces the evolution of their classical religious styles which, with disparate settings and unique histories, produced strikingly different spiritual climates. So in Morocco, the Islamic conception of life came to mean activism, moralism, and intense individuality, while in Indonesia the same concept emphasized aestheticism, inwardness, and the radical dissolution of personality. In order to assess the significance of these interesting developments, Mr. Geertz sets forth a series of theoretical observations concerning the social role of religion.
Lucette Valensi’s extensive work on the social history of the Mediterranean has been, for all its variety of subject and focus, almost continuously concerned which the way in which cultural forms arising within one stream of history, one historic civilization, work out when projected into the interior of another: French and Algerian, Jewish and Muslim, Iberian and Moorish, Venetian and Ottoman. Ideas, sentiments and view of life, ways of being in the world, find some of their most striking, and most diagnostic, expressions far from their point of origin: in the way they color traditions quite other than their own, live with a particular
vividness in a foreign place.
I should like to use this celebratory occasion to practice the difficult art Valensi has so carefully developed, and to cross over an even greater distance and an even broader difference: the Middle East and Southeast Asia. In particular, I wish to consider the role of Islam as a projection of, for want of a better term, “Arabic Culture or “Civilization” into the “Culture” or “Civilization” of Indonesia. This is, admittedly, a subject, at once very hard to focus, more than a bit touchy, and rather grand in scale. But, if only for those reasons, it provides a good “Valensian” subject: a familiar tradition inserted into an unfamiliar place.

إن الإنسان قبـل الحب شيء وعنـد الحب كل شيء وبعـد الحب لاشيء
الحـــــــــب تجربة وجودية عميقة تنتزع الإنسان من وحدته القاسيةالباردة لكي تقدم له حرارة الحياة المشتركة الدافئة
تجربة إنسانية معقدة … وهو أخطر وأهم حدث يمر في حياة الإنسان لأنه يمس صميم شخصيته وجوهره ووجوده … فيجعله يشعر وكأنه ولد من جديد
هو الذي ينقل الإنسان إلى تلك الواحاتالضائعة من الطهارة والنظارة والشعر والموسيقى لكي يستمتع بعذوبة تلكالذكريات الجميلة التائهة في بيداء الروتين اليومي الفضيع وكأنما هي جنات منالجمال والبراءة والصفاء في وسط صحراء الكذب والتصنع والكبرياء.
وهو كالبحرحين تكون على شاطئه يقذفك بأمواجه بكرم فائق يستدرجك بلونه وصفائهوروعته ولكن حين تلقي بنفسك بين أحضانه لتبحث عن درره يغدر بك ويقذفك فيأعماقه ثم يقذف بك وأنت فاقد لإحساسك
لا ينطق عن الهوى وإنما هو شعوروإحساس يتغلغل في أعماقنـا الحب مرآة الإنسان يعكس ما بداخلنا من عمق الوصفوالخيال
الحــــــــــــــــب كأحلام على ارض خرافية يلهينا عن الحاضريشدنا ويجذبنا فيعجبنا جبروته بالحب نحيا فهو الروح للجسد فلا حياة بدونه وهوالأمل الذي يسكن أنفاسنا ويخاطب أفكارنا ليحقق آمالنا هو سفينة بلا شراع تسيربنا إلى شاطئ الأمـان، سماء صافيه وبحراً هادئ وبسمة حانية، يزلزل الروح والكيانويفجر ثورة البركان
أخيراً الحب أسطـورة تعجـز البشريـة عـنإدراكهــا إلا لمن صــدق في نطقهــا ومعناهـــا الحب يقراء والحب يسمــعوالحب يخاطبنــا ونخاطبــهويسعدنــا ونسعــده وهو عطـراً وهمساً نشعـر بسعادتـهإذا صدقنـاه في أقوالنـاوأفعالنــا بالحب تصبح ا لحياة جميلة لكي نحقق أهدافــاًقـد رسمناهــا ولكن ما يقلق العاشقين فقط هـــو احتمال أن تكـون الأقـدارتخبئ لهـم فراقـاً لم يكن في حسبــان أي منهــم
ليس الحب هو الذي يعذبنا، ولكن من نحـــــــــــــب
هو عنوان الحياة, وهو أسمى ما في الوجود, فيهنحيا ونعيش فيه الرغبة الصادقة في أمتلاك السعادة هو سلامة النفس في أعماقالأبدية هو العلم الوحيد الذي كلما أبحرت فيه أزددت جهلا هو مجرد ثرثرةوالأصدقاء هم كل ما يعتد به هو أضطراب الحياة.. والصداقة سكونها وراحتها الحبأعمق..لكن الصداقة أوسع لا تتزوج الا عن حب, ولكن تأكد أن من تحب هو جديربحبك الحب مرض, والزواج صحة, والمرض والصحة لا يلتقيان أستمرار الحب بعدالزواج فن يجب تعلمه لا تسأل صديقك كيف يحبك, فكثيرا ما يجهل الصديق كيف يحبصديقه الحب الحقيقي كالعطر النادر يترك آثاره مهما طال به الزمن
الحب..هوذلك الشعور الخفى الذى يتجول فى كل مكان ويطوف الدنيا بحثا عن فرصتة المنتظرةليداعب الأحساس ويسحر الأعين.. ويتسلل بهدوء.. ويستقر فى غفلة من العقل ورغماعنك داخل تجا ويف القلب...ليمتلك الروح والوجدان... ليسطر على كل كيانالأنسان والحب هو ذلك الشعور الذى يمتلك الأنسان فى داخلة ويطوف بة العالمحيث يشاء بأفراحة وأحزانة يجول كل مكان فوق زبد البحر يمشي دون إن يغوص فىأعماقة الحب.. هو ذلك الوباء الذيذ الذي يصيب جميع الكائنات بدون استثناء لةمغنا طيسية تجب الكائنا بعضها لبعض وبدونة لن تستمر الحياة على آى كوكب للحب.. معانى عظيمة وتعاريف عديدة تختلف من عا شق لأخر فكل محب لدية تصور وتعريف خاصلمعنى الحب
ممكن هل كلمة مني شخصيا بعد ما عرفنى الحب مع اني اقول انالحب لا يعرف وليس له تعريف الحب هو جنة الدنيا وفردوس الحياة انة الأمل الذىيشرق على القلوب الحزينة فيسعدها ويدخل الى القلوب المظلمة فينيرها ويبدد ظلمتهاويتسرب الى الجوانح فيغمرها بضيائة المشرق الوضاء. إنة الحن الجميل الذى يوقعانغامة على اوتار القلوب ونبضاتها فيكون عزاءالمحروم وراحة المكموم ورجاءاليائش انة النعيم الذى يرجوه كل انسان والسعادة التى ينشدها كل مخلوق والجنةالتى يحلم ان يعيش فيها كل فتى وفتاه
الحـــــــب هو تلك الغرسة الجميلةفي حديقة العمر،،، إمرأة ورجل وحرمان جهل عارض صادف قلبا فارغ،،، انانيةاثنين،،دمعة من سماء التفكير
الحـــب: صداقة شبت فيها النار،، محطة نستريح فيهالحظات هو الشئ الوحيد الذي لايترك لمن يملكه شيئا يرغب فيه ،، تجربة تبغي لنفسهاالخلود ولكنها لاتعيش الا عمر الورود
هو أجمل سوء تقدير بين رجل وامرأة ،،يشبه فاكهة الرمان, فيمرارته عذوبة وفي عذوبته مرارة
انه سجن لذيذ،، كالشحاذيكثر من الطلب كلما اعطيته،، هو تاريخ المراة وليس الا حادثا عابرا في حياةالرجل
أول الحب عند الفتى الحياء وأول الحب عند الفتاة الجرأة
الرجاليحبون دائما مايحترمون, والنساء لايحترمن الا من يحببن
المرأة حب العذاب, والرجل عذاب الحب
الحب بالنسبة الى الرجل طبق ثانوي, وبالنسبة للمراة مأدبةكاملة
المرأة عندما تفشل في الحب تعيش على ذكرى ذلك الحب, اما الرجل فيفكرفي حب جديد
امتلاك الرجل للمرأة هو نهاية حبه, وامتلاك المرأة للرجل هوبداية حبها

"Daun Di Atas Bantal" depicts three street children living in the Javanese ancient capital of Yogyakarta, and a street stall operator who looks after them with gentle love. The children, living on the street far away from home, sought motherly love from this woman, and survived every day, dreaming of a bright future, only to follow a tragic fate. In the title, the world "Pillow" represents mother, and "Leaf" means small life, i.e. children.
The film is edited in a documentary style, featuring actual street children. Before shooting began, I frequented slums to feel what it is like to live on the street. By the time the film was completed I felt like I was their real mother.
Social and economic crisis of Indonesia has created a swarm of street children, abandoned by their parents and being unable to attend school. Imposed with serious sacrifice amidst war and poverty, such children survive by the day with a burning yarning for a motherly figure who could heal their emotional scars.
The Suharto regime imposed strict censorship on movies. Even the system of film distribution was controlled by his close relations. This film was completed in May 1998 in the midst of the Indonesian crisis that shook the world. The premier screening of this film at the Cannes Film Festival, immediately after President Suharto was forced into resignation, attracted strong responses.
-"Daun Di Atas Bantal" won numerous domestic and international film awards, including the Asia Pacific International Film Festival. Its powerful social messages moved and shocked broad audience, even triggering a social movement.

Kamulah satu-satunya (You’re the one) is an Indonesian drama movie starring Nirina Zubir as Indah, a village girl who works at a small coffee shop belongs to her grandfather (Didi Petet). Indah is a huge fans of the Dewa 19 group band. She is willing to do anything to see her favorite band. With her friend’s help, Indah run away from home to go to Jakarta to find Dewa 19. But when she is close to get what she’s dreaming for, she realized that a lot of things she did are hurting other people who cares for her, including her best friend Bowo (Junior) who secretly falls in love with her.
The problem is she is not lives in Jakarta, and but in village named Bayah in Pelabuhan Ratu, West Java. Indah go to Jakarta to meet the band, leaving behind her father and her best friend, Bowo. Bowo is secretly in love with her. Will Indah meet her idols?
“My market is full of stories,” says the little girl, “just like soap operas on television . . . some funny, some strange, some sad.” In this small market in Jakarta, most of the stories begin with loss. The girl is deaf; she lost her family when her home was destroyed. A friend at school lost her mother because of her father’s gambling and abuse. A boy and his older brother who lost their parents struggle to carry on the family business. But amidst the despair, the children maintain a sense of hope: the girl who lost her family sends a wish for a dome for the mosque by carrier pigeon; her friend protects a prayer rug, so it will be ready when her mother returns. The boy’s daydreams lead him to a young woman he calls Cantik – pretty – for whom he carries packages and cooks noodles with eggs; maybe someday he will call her “Mom”. Ramadan, the month of fasting and prayer, is at an end, and everyone in the market is preparing for Lebaran, the Holidays. Most Indonesians travel to visit family for Lebaran, leaving their jobs in the cities to return their home villages.
However, for the children of the marketplace, the holidays could be hardest: a carrier pigeon lands in a stationer’s stall, ruining the greeting cards set out for display; a prayer rug disappears while the little girl sleeps; and the relationship between the boy and his brother grows tense. But during Lebaran, nothing is truly lost: a father is reunited with his daughter, a man has a change of heart and prays for his wife’s return, and the older brother orders a new stamp to mark his eggs – in the shape of a heart.

Long Road to Heaven is a 2006 Indonesian feature film about the 2002 Bali bombing, by Kalyana Shira Films. The film was directed by Enison Sinaro and written by Wong Wai Leng and Andy Logam-Tan.
It tells the story during three different times: the planning a few months before the bombing, its execution in 2002, and the trials in 2003. The story is not chronologically linear. It starts with the explosion and then moves from time to time until all three plots culminate one after the other. At the beginning of each scene, subtitles tell the date and location of the scene.
Planning stage
This portion of the film takes place in a hotel in Thailand, where Hambali (Saputra) is meeting with other members of Jemaah Islamiah, including Muklas. Hambali wishes to strike back for the capture of the Jemaah Islamiyah agents in Singapore, where an attempted bombing was stopped. He also wishes to make a statement by carrying out the next attack in September, when remembrance for the September 11th, 2001 World Trade Center Attacks will be at its highest. Muklas presses Hambali to change to another, softer location because security in Singapore will be too tight for any plans to succeed, and they will be unable to make the attacks by September if they are to happen in Singapore. He also suggests Bali for the location of the bombing. After putting the idea to a vote, the bombing is approved for Bali.
Execution of the attack
In Bali, Imam Samudra, as well as Amrozi and his brother Ali Imron begin making preparations for the attack. They pick Paddy's Pub and the Sari Club as the best targets for bombing because it will minimize Indonesian casualties because both cater exclusively to foreigners. The brothers then contact a bombmaker and request that he make a special bomb which will maximize casualties. The day before the attack, the garage where they are building the bombs is visited by police following noise complaints. Ali Imron manages to stall the police, giving the bombmaker time to hide any incriminating evidence. After the police leave, Amrozi congratulates his brother for his quick thinking.
The next day, Amrozi, Imron, and the person who will activate the bomb park outside the Sari Club and wait for the backpack bomb to explode. Imron shows doubt about what they are doing, but in the end does not stop the bombing. Amrozi and Imron leave, and everything goes as planned.
Across the city, Hannah Catrelle (Foulkes) is awakened by the explosion. She rushes out to the site on her motorcycle, and is asked to bring an injured man to the hospital, where he later dies of his wounds. Catrelle is asked to bring the body to the morgue, where she sees a scorched corpse wearing a necklace similar to hers. She returns to the site and helps Hajj Ismail (Pandelaki) co-ordinate the rescue efforts. She is approached by Tim Dawson (O'Hare), who asks her if she has seen his daughter, and shows her a picture. Catrelle recognizes the necklace, and says that she thinks that Dawson's daughter is in the morgue. She leads him to the body, but Dawson says that it is not his daughter. Catrelle shows him the necklace that the corpse is wearing, and Dawson collapses in grief.
Returning to the site of the explosion, Catrelle snaps at Hajj, asking him what Muslims want by causing grief such as this. Pak Haji tells her that he is hurt by her generalisation, and explains that Islam is a peaceful faith, and the perpetrators of the bombing do not have a proper understanding of Islam or the Qur'an. Catrelle apologizes and explains that she moved to Bali because it was her boyfriend's favourite place in the world. She then explains that her boyfriend died in the World Trade Center attacks, and they buried an empty casket because his body was never found. Haji apologizes, just before a rescuer rushes up to them and says they have found a survivor. Catrelle recognizes Julie Dawson (Treleven), and tells Dawson that her father is looking for her. Having found Julie Dawson, Catrelle wonders who the corpse is. Deciding that the dead victim shouldn't be buried namelessly, Catrelle asks around, and finds nothing. She almost gives up, but sees Tim and Julie Dawson one last time. Tim thanks her and walks off, but, after being asked about her necklace, Julie reveals that she gave it to a friend at the club. Julie then tells Catrelle the victim's name. Catrelle returns to the morgue, and writes the victims name on a piece of paper. A corpse with an elephant tattoo is also seen.
The trials
Seven months after the bombing, Australian reporter Liz Thompson (Hill) goes to Bali to cover the trials. She hires a taxi driver and translator, Wayan Diya (Komang), to take her around the island. Diya at first refuses, but Thompson pushes him and triples the amount she originally offered in order to pay for his service. They first go to the location of the bombing, where Thompson takes pictures of the site, then to the trial, where Thompson covers a portion of Amrozi's trial. While she is in the courtroom, Diya goes to a nearby restaurant to watch the trial, and later throws a rock in the direction of Amrozi while Amrozi is transferring to the police transport. Realizing how stressful it is for Diya, Thompson tells him that she is sorry, and says that she doesn't need any more help. In order to try and mend fences, Thompson inquires Diya about his elephant tattoo. Diya explains that it is Ganesha, and one day when they were drunk, he and his brother had it done together.
It is a moving documentation of the epoch making change following the fall of Indonesia's longest serving dictator Suharto-who died 3 week ago. This is the 10th year anniversary of that earth shaking Reformasi in Indonesia -which succeeded. But the Reformasi in Malaysia -which had not succeeded -had attracted little interests for remembrance despite the 10th year anniversary. Yet the lessons need to be learned or the same mistakes could recur. To get some inspirations may be we can start by looking back at the successful Indonesian Reformasi?
Language: English -with interviews in Indonesian-English subtitles provided Director: Tino Saroengallo Year of production : 2002 Award: Asia-Pacific Film Award, Seoul, 2002
This movie was shown each year on Indonesian TV to perform the national trauma of the incidents of 1965 in Java, Bali and elsewhere in Indonesia. It is a propaganda movie of the New Order of the Indonesian military dictator Soeharto whose rule was established in the aftermath of the mass killings. The movie is filled with lies ignoring historical facts. There was no conspiratorial meeting of the leaders of the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI) right before the kidnapping and killing of six high generals of the Indonesian army. When the dead bodies of the generals had been found a few days later, no signs of torture at all was reported by the doctors and experts involved in the case.
This movie had only the intention to justify Soeharto's military regime whose violations of human rights are well-known. That Soeharto's most favorite military historian Nugroho Notosusanto was involved in writing the screenplay is hardly surprising, but to find such highly rated Indonesian intellectuals as Arifin C. Noer (screenplay, was leading in Indonesian theatre in the 1970s) or Umar Kayam (played Sukarno, well-known sociologist and novelist) gives one quite some thoughts on their other artistic and literary works.
Voces inocentes (English title: Innocent Voices) is a 2004 Mexican film directed by Luis Mandoki. The plot is set during the Salvadoran Civil War in 1980s, and is based on writer Oscar Torres's childhood. The film serves as a general commentary on the military use of children. The movie also shows injustice against innocent people who are forced to fight in the war. It follows the story of the narrator, a boy named Chava.
A young boy, in an effort to have a normal childhood in 1980's El Salvador, is caught up in a dramatic fight for his life as he desperately tries to avoid the war which is raging all around him.
Armed only with the love of his mother (Leonor Varela) and a small radio that broadcasts a forbidden anthem of love and peace, and faced with the impossible choice of joining either the army or the rebels, Chava finds the courage to keep his heart open, and his spirit alive, in his race against time.
