Blue Box background

Blue Box

A fundraising campaign by the Jewish National Fund (JNF) led to the purchase of land in Palestine, with Joseph Weitz playing a key role in acquiring and expropriating Palestinian territories.

The Jewish National Fund's Blue Box campaign successfully raised funds to purchase and forest land in Palestine, but the legacy of this project is marred by the displacement of Palestinian communities. The story is told through the eyes of Joseph Weits, a key figure in the organization and great-grandfather of filmmaker Michal Weits, whose private diaries reveal the truth about the land takeover that led to the creation of Israel.
