Taglit - Droit du Sang 

Taglit - Blood Right

​

Having previously examined propaganda at the heart of Israeli society (Jerusalem Cast Lead – A Hallucinatory Trip in an Emotional Dictatorship, 2011) and its tragic consequences for the Palestinian population (H2 Hebron, 2018), we now turn to the Taglit-Birthright experience: the trips offered to young Jews from around the world in Israel, extracting the fuel required by the Zionist machinery in the name of Jewish blood right. Approximately 900,000 people have taken part in these trips since 1995, funded by the State of Israel and private foundations.
Our aim is to confront the Zionist narrative addressed to Jewish youth worldwide with reality, history, and the testimonies of Palestinian families who have been expelled, displaced, occupied, and massacred since 1948, and whose Right of Return continues to be denied by the Jewish supremacist project.
This documentary theatre work will allow us to immerse ourselves in the heart of post–7 October 2023 Israeli society, collapsed inward upon itself through the all-too-predictable fulfilment of an absolute sentimental fascism.
Taglit - Blood Right is the third chapter of a trilogy we have developed over the years around the Israeli-Palestinian question and, beyond it, around the ways in which a chosen History manufactures an identity, a memory, and a people ready to die—and to kill—in defense of its narrative.
