Lemon tree

In the film Lemon Tree directed by Eran Riklis it is clearly exposed the abuse of the country of Israel toward the palestinians. Palestinians don't have rights compared to the Israelite necessities. This is expossed when the palestinian woman, Salma, can't protect her grove from the Israelite law and government to cut it. Israel have total control over the lives of the palestinians. Everyday, palestinians have right violations and they can't stop this from happening because the ones that dictates the laws are Israel and the international community that supports it, even if the decision has no justice at all. That is a land were it is not justice that flowrishes but influences that replaces it.

The film also exposes the situation lived by arab women in which they are discriminated by society. This specific gender is harshly attacked by society in their relationships and the veils they have to use to cober their hair. Women are marginated because, once their commitment to their husband has endes, they can't "dishonor" him by having another relationship. They are also seen as the weak gender and treated with inferiority.

This movie or event sets the precedent of a palestinian civilian wining a case against the Israel government. Violations against the palestinians before this event were often won by Israel. However, this case was not a victory of Israel toward palestinians, but a draw. Both parts had a divided decision from the international court. This is important because it does not show a complete abuse of Israel against the people of Palestine.
