Palestinians in the West Bank – a documentary.

Email from PAT Botejue



This is a 60 minute documentary narrated by Anna Baltzer of the International Women's Peace Service. She is an American Jew who spent five months living with Palestinians in the West Bank and was witness to the harassment and oppression they labor under because of the Israeli Occupation. From having to wait at checkpoints for hours or even days, to being cut off from one's farmland because of the WALL, to having to leave one's home because Israeli settlers have moved in, Palestinians have been under duress for years, their land gradually and surely shrinking as Israel carves out more space for itself. Is it a religious war? Anna says it's about resources.

Despite the narrator's pleasant voice and calm demeanor, this is a harrowing video to sit through.
