October’s almost over, and it’s the weekend, to boot– I better get this picture up! This is Florian Bieringer, 21, at the Taybeh Oktoberfest on a hilltop in Palestine at the beginning of the month. He’s lifting up a Taybeh beer. The Oktoberfest was mobbed by internationals. Beiringer said that the Taybeh Oktoberfest has more integrity than any Oktoberfest he’s been to outside his native Bavaria.
Update: Octoberfest changed to Oktoberfest, at antidote’s guidance.
Those blankets on the fence……for privacy or protection? Both?
The kid in the red shirt is not to be trusted…… :)
spelling suggestion: Oktoberfest in Palestein
Looks EXACTLY like the Warsaw Ghetto.
9 min: Pt 2 of a multi-part documentary on Palestine, beer, Octoberfest Under Occupation:

Very interesting, informative, & captures the spirit of it all. The muslim Palestinians you see drink only non-alcoholic beer of course. Taybeh is Christian Palestinian.
9.5 min: Pt 3 of OctoberFest Under Occupation. When you get close to the 8min mark, there is an interview of a young Palestinian man (lays out the core problem very well), followed by a a young Israeli man (channeling Atzmon without knowing it–he describes himself as “Jewish my my mother’s vagina only–I can’t do anything about it” & says there’s nobody who hates him at the Octoberfest except a little bit of himself), and a young female British Jew, who describes herself as feeling affinity for Israel, not England, even though she’s not an Israeli: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyTUAOuL1Ig&feature=related
Also more detailed explanation of just how hard it is to keep Taybeh beer in operation due to Israeli rules of occupation.
