Hostages of Hatred Pierre Rehov .
Why are most Palestinians still considered as refugees after 55 years? Why are they still living in camps? Who is responsible for that humanitarian disaster?

In his documentaries, Pierre Rehov demonstrates how our version of the middle east conflict has been corrupted by the Arab use of reporters as propagandists"
(Jack Engelheard - Author of "Indecent Proposal")
"Seeing Pierre Rehov's documentary film 'The Silent Exodus
' about the expulsion and flight of a million Sephardi Jews helped me gain a better understanding of the tragedy of a community that was integral and fundamental to Arab society."
(Magdi Allam - Il Corriere Della Serra)
Rehov is a French Jewish film maker, most known for his movies which are almost
exclusively based on the Israeli-Arab conflict
Rehov was born to a Jewish family in Algeria, where he experienced terrorism at a young age. In 1961 his family moved to France with as many as 250,000 other French fleeing the colony of Algeria, which was to become independent the next year.
Rehov wa
s not a pro-Israeli activist until 2000, when he saw the death of Muhammad al-Durrah on television, and doubted its authenticity. Since then, he has been working mostly in the Palestinian territories, rebuking anti-Israeli propaganda.
He, among others, requested an investigation into the murder of
al-Durrah, which confirmed his suspicions that it was Palestinian gunfire that killed the child. This investigation was also featured in the film Decryptage by Philippe Bensoussan.
Rehov claims that every reporter must be (or appear to be) pro-Palestinian to work on the territories safely and this,
among other things, creates systematic anti-Israeli bias, especially on French media outlets. He advocates a two-state solution, for Palestinians and Israelis to live side by side, but doesn't think that peace will be possible for many generations. He finds that many Palestinian actions within and
out of their community are a setback to a peaceful solution.
Rehov has subsequently created 7 films about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and its treatment in the media:
The Road to Jenin - Rehov's most known film by far; a response to Mohammed Bakhri's film Jenin Jenin.
The Trojan Horse - this
film alleges that Yasser Arafat's true intentions were not a two-state solution, but a Palestinian state on the territory of all of Israel.
Holy Land - Christians in Peril - a film which exposes the flight of Christians from PA-controlled lands.
Silent Exodus - a film that talks about the Jewis
h exodus from Arab lands.
Hostages of Hatred - how the Palestinian "right of return", supported by the UN, has left Palestinians in camps for half a century and originated the present unsolvable situation in the Middle East.
