The Mole
Docu-Drama Evening: The Untold Story Behind the Kafr Qasim Massacre
Director: Einat Weizman
Research and Editing: Adam Raz
Actors: Rami Salman, Chen Alon, Hanna Amer, Itamar Elbaz, Einat Weizman
A one-time docu-drama event unfolds the story of the military plan "Mole." It seems that no event in the history of Israel/Palestine presents such divergent Israeli and Palestinian narratives as the Kafr Qasim Massacre. For the Israelis, it’s about "rotten apples"—Unruly soldiers who followed an illegal order and murdered civilians returning home from work at the end of the day; in contrast, for the Palestinians, the massacre was an attempt to uproot them from their village. Based on hundreds of pages of court protocols that have now been revealed from the Kafr Qasim Massacre trial, following a prolonged legal battle, the background to the bloody events of 1956 will be presented.
